'Office Space' Star Ron Livingston Reveals Movie Joke He Still Feels 'A Little Bad About' | TODAY

[@shadywhiteguy]

Office Space is just the alternate reality where Neo never learned about The Matrix

Lawrence was one of the best things in this movie. He represented the blue collar community perfectly. (20 years in industrial maintenance.

I couldn't imagine being stuck in a cubicle with a niche task. And yes, we're all a lot like Lawrence.

It's the film simply everyone who ever had a dull office job *must* have seen. It also started off the trend of office-related comedy shows and films.

And in one of the early episodes of The Office they even mention a Mr Gibbons - coincidence? I think not.

My daughter who is 38 watch this movie once a year, Ron is mistaken though, this movie is so great because its so realistic. The cast was perfect especially him, the fact that he gave up a job to do something that made him happy was just icing on the cake. The rest is/was a lot of peoples reality. I wonder if he knows how popular it actually is! Poor marketing put it into early DVD release and many people i know still have an office space night once a year to watch with friends.

It was one of the first off set movie to have a hip-hop soundtrack. It was its own genre at the time. Loved it!

[@RogueBoyScout]

By "off set", do you mean "non black cast/produced" or "hood/urban" movie? Because I can name 10 films that had an all hip-hop/rap soundtrack made before this. However, none of them featured a mainly white production and cast.... I'm not trying to start a race thing here, but... yeah, there were a LOT of films made early-mid nineties that had an all hip-hop sundtrack. And the only thing I can find different about this film to them is the "targeted" demographic ;) Even if "off set" means "non soundstage", you are way off...

The 3:08 mark reminds me of this.... “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I’ve worked outdoor jobs my whole life and this is one of my favorite comedies of all time. I always believed this movie was what office jobs were always like but the funny stuff was what office people always wanted to do but didn’t.

[@PoeLemic]

sorry, you just don't know how great you have had it. Yes, I made probably a little more (at times, maybe) than you might have. But, damned, I sold my soul. And, we had to spend more on entertainment, parking ($100/week per car, so $200/w wife & I), vehicle expenses, expensive clothes, more gas, etc., just to keep everything going. We even had to pay a therapist, babysitters, etc. Not worth that type of life, is what I've learned now -- as I've got older. If I could only go back and live your life, I sure would.

One of my all-time favorites. The reason it bombed at the box office is because it was so poorly marketed. Introducing it as having come "from the creators of Beavis and Butthead" was a baffling idea because this movie wasn't geared towards the 1990s teenage MTV audience at all.

[@tnargskoorb1]

You’re exactly right. It’s why I wasn’t interested. I didn’t see it til 2 weeks ago and have watched it 3 times since.

[@scottgreenberg1596]

They also marketed it as a Jennifer Aniston movie too.

[@posysdogovych2065]

@@scottgreenberg1596 Probably because she was, in fact, in the movie and was the only well-known star in the cast at that time. But she was only in the trailer for a few seconds and wasn't featured on the movie poster, so I wouldn't say it was marketed as a Jennifer Aniston vehicle.

The funny thing about this is - Office Space actually gave Michael Bolton's career a bit of a boost.
