Initech Mug

Office Space, a film that satirizes the life of a number of people who are tired of working for a software company great flop on the big screen. When it was first published in 1999, critics have been largely impressed. The New York Times wrote: "He felt awkward for a lot of sketches packed together in a narrative that has no momentum," Entertainment Weekly said it was "close and under-imagined."

The story focuses on Peter Gibbons, an employee of software company Initech, who spends his days working code setting banking software to prepare for the Y2k disaster - which, in the late 90s was much talk of 'threat'. Peter is bored, tired, tired, and hates his job and everything concerning the business for which he works, especially his boss "Lumbergh" Peter who often come to work on weekends.

Despite the slow start, Office Space has become a cult massive, spawning a generation of fans-related office. It seemed to sum up the life's work both in the Western world, even those who had never worked in an office cubicle for a software company could still relate to commute to work maddening, unnecessary bureaucracy office, the 'boring colleagues, the printer jammed and never the boss who preferred to spend time and company money on his shirts and to celebrate his birthday rather than give its staff a pay rise.

Such was the respect that Office Space did with those who watched, it has generated dozens of fan sites, the most notable of which was the site * B * tJob.com llSh, who was not only a ode to the movie, but a forum for those who had had enough of their own dead-end jobs, and watching Office Space have been motivated and inspired to quit and find a better job.

The following worship is also evident in the availability of merchandise related to unofficial various props in the film. For example, you can buy mugs and mouse pads Initech, but perhaps the point most likely to receive a cult in the world come to stop.

One of the central characters of Milton, a paper pusher overweight is constantly bullied by senior management to move his office whenever they feel like, a love in his life: his Red Swingline Stapler - which he keeps muttering.

Swingline're a real business fixed staplers that do manufacturing, but before taking office space, they did not produce a red model in the years (one member of the team of accessories has been commissioned to paint the stapler Prop red sign in the script). Due to the demand generated by the film, Swingline began producing the model red again, what would become the staple bestseller of all time.

Perhaps the greatest achievement of the film was to agree with many workplaces to anywhere in the world of serviced offices in London to the offices of Detroit, Office Space is the voice of the generation of abandoned office.
