        They work only to bring chaos… “it was beautiful, we were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them”. Tyler works in a restaurant to piss in the soup. Works in a cinema so that kids see single slices of hardcore porn. The narrator bleeds all over himself to blackmail his boss into paying him to ‘work’ from home and do nothing.

        They didn’t just shun work they were actively trying to destroy it.

      One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.

        Mr Waturi is the unsung hero of that film. As a supporting actor, he nailed the tone of the film by personifying the rank stupidity of corporate thinking.

        He can definitely do the job.

      They Live is about manipulating the masses to consume and be silent. Work is just a small side topic.

      Fight Club is about personal power over people. Domination.

      Big Lebowski is your typical loser story. A fairy tale.
