Yeaah, hey everyone, what's happening? I thought I would post my own tribute to one of my favorite movies ever, Office Space. Truly one of those movies I can seriously watch 20X in a row, and not get sick of it.
Summary (from imdb): Peter Gibbons just can't seem to catch a break. His girlfriend is cheating on him, he has an obnoxious neighbor, and he's completely miserable with his job as a small cog in a company called Initech. Then he visits a hypnotherapist, who dies just after putting Peter into a state of complete bliss. Free of worrying about making a living, he no longer feels the need to keep his job, just as the company is going through a massive downsizing. However, his new attitude only makes him more valuable in the company's eyes, and his friends Michael and Samir are fired instead. Together, they scheme to plant a virus inside Initech's computer system that will pull money into their own account.
Is anyone else a fan?

I found it funny... I can see the comedic genious in some-what "stupid" films like this :p . Although many film-buffs seem to hate alot of the modern comedies, I think they'll be appreciated further down the line. 
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

As a huge film-buff, I appreciate this film as one of the best comedies of the 90's. Truely a fantastic film. Also seems to me to have been a little inspiration to Ricky Grevaris for the Original "The Office" series.
The Doc
And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.
