If you’ve ever worked in an office at least a day in your life, then you pretty much look at Mike Judge’s 1999 office-themed comedy “Office Space” as THE movie to end all movies when it comes to working in an office setting. It’s not just a brilliant movie because it’s funny, but because it’s true. Of course, I never pulled a caper ala something from a “Superman” movie, but then again, there has been many a times when I’ve wanted to put a hole or two into a company property like that fax machine that never seems to work, the copying machine that always seems to jam when I need it most, or that damn computer that refuses to boot before I grow old and die. Here’s the two best moments from Judge’s “Office Space”, in which three office geeks pull off the perfect caper, and then later, destroys a printer in a field. When David Herman’s character goes after the printer with his bare fists? Priceless.
