Leaving Las Vegas

Great genre which depicts the reality of wage slave drudgery. Boomers and Gen X freed the white man from their offices and wives and Gen Z is intent on putting themselves back in chains for… mediocre pussy I guess

>>220127828
Because I'm a fucking pussy that still holds onto hope even when I'm having yet another crash out like some sort of sad faggot. Also I earned every cent of my money, who the fuck are you to think you deserve to reap the benefits of my hard work.

Thanks, anon.

fight club was insomnia due to flying across timezones several times a week causing psychosis

the matrix was a man trapped in a virtual reality prison that he knew wasn't real and couldn't vocalize or prove it

american beauty was a guy who got laid off from his job because the owner of the company allowed a prostitute to steal the company's credit card and was cutting costs to cover it all up

and finally, office space is about a guy in 1999 manually "updating" code from the 70s, on 80s computers, in the 90s, so said code wouldn't shit itself in the 00s. This happened because no one in the 70s thought the code they wrote would still be in use 30 years later. His company had hired "efficiency consultants" to lay off the workforce they had allocated to rush through solving the y2k bug. he was about to be fired until he is able to stop giving a shit, which he realizes in the end is turning him into someone he absolutely despises.

Publicly traded companies only care about maximizing shareholder value. Everything else is secondary. The CEO will get raked over the coals if he tanks the company's stock price, but given a fat bonus if he makes the dividends bigger. So everything he does is just about manipulating the perception of the company's success. He doesn't actually care about the business at all.

The only way to fix this is to create laws mandating social responsibility for corporations, and heavily punishing corporations that engage in stock price manipulation strategies.

anyone rememeber the name of this office space rip-off starring a fat bald guy with glasses, i remember renting it at blockbuster because it compared it to office space on the dvd box but cant remember the name anymore. i remember the cover showed the top half of the fat bald guys head peaking up from his desk, i could swear the name office was in it too like "office blank" couldnt have been a more obvious cashgrab of a movie only being made to capalize on office spaces new found popularity after it hit video and become a hit, dvd even said on it "if you liked office space, youll love this"

No, but I remember this one where the IT guy sticks his dick into a server and fucks it. The lead actor took the role as a favor to a family member who was the director or producer. Think I'd just risk being called an ass at the family reunions than go on film fucking a server (laptop might be ok).

Hear me out. It's Gnostic Apocalypse.

>A Gnostic apocalypse is an ancient text, often from the Nag Hammadi library, that reveals divine, hidden knowledge (gnosis) to liberate the soul from the evil material world. Unlike mainstream Christian apocalypses focused on the end of the world, these focus on individual salvation and reveal that the material creator (Demiurge) is flawed or evil, separating the true God from the creator of the world
>These are not prophecies of a physical, final end-time, but rather a "revealing" of secret divine knowledge to individuals, allowing them to escape material entrapment

The Matrix is of course the most obvious one, but the others also involve a revelation of secret knowledge that this world is a trap. Fight Club and the Matrix go a step beyond and depict the Gnostic Satan (the serpent) in Tyler Durden and Morpheus. Fight Club goes as far as using classic satanic motifs on Tyler, including red dress, crossdressing, supernatural powers (in-universe this is the psychosis of the narrator) and using the byproduct of soap making to produce explosives that project mayhem "liberates" society with, a clear reference to Paradise Lost where Satan makes gunpowder through secret knowledge of natural sciences. And also the endless direct references to Tyler as Christ in savior imagery, "in Tyler we trust", and so on, establish him as the mirror of Christ, the Antichrist if you will.

The question is why. I don't think it was all intentional. Office Space is innocent enough. But there were apolapytic feelings going around in the turn of the millennium for whatever reason. People feeling an urge to "wake up". Maybe it was all the unrealized promises of the end of history and endless prosperity and the optimism of the 90s.

Fight Club and The Matrix I think are intentional, but whether it was the sisters and Pallaniuk propagandizing their own beliefs or something more, idk.

whats another movie that does this? under siege is the only one I can think of

>>220131622
just naming 1999 movies are we?

gen xers were born into the world of boomer abundance and didn't know anything else, while also being inculcated by mass media to value a trite and manufactured self-consciousness and (fake) individualism, with its attendant skepticism, cynicism, emphasis on being 'knowing' & 'above-it-all', etc., so when the cold war was over and america was riding high they genuinely believed it would go on forever, at the same time that they came of age and were horrified at how they were living the same adult lives as the parents they were taught to despise. this is why the subgenre appeared when it did. "what do you mean i recognized just how phony and worthless everything is yet still ended up in the exact same place"

>>220127097
only one of these movies is good (office space)

every corporation is a law. the only way to actually fix the corporation problem is for the government to abolish the concept of the corporation, which exists only as a legal fiction created by the state. these laws were put in place hundreds of years ago in europe at the behest of businessmen, and are now in virtually every country.
despite what you’ve been told your entire life, it is in fact too much government intervention into the economy that has caused these problems, not too little intervention, and the solution (which will never happen by the way) is actually less government intervention, and undoing that which already exists, not more.

>bro we need to reduce government regulation/intervention to reduce the power of capital

the legal fiction of the "corporation" is to make an entity that can be held accountable when it does something it shouldn't. the expansion of the rights and powers of the corporation is the issue that has run out of control.

>>220137145
>the legal fiction of the "corporation" is to make an entity that can be held accountable when it does something it shouldn't
you don’t understand the sentence you just wrote. yes, the corporation will be held accountable instead of the *people* who are actually responsible, or the *people* who profited from that bad behavior. the corporation is a legal scapegoat to protect the actual people who profit from corporate wrongdoing. in the absence of such protections, the only ones able to be held responsible for such things would be the actual people involved.
>the expansion of the rights and powers of the corporation is the issue that has run out of control
the very first such expansion was when the government created them in the first place.
this is way off topic and I’m about to watch some kino. have a nice evening, anon.

there's a 2 part episode of Castle (abc show) that does it. season 3 i believe. from the looks of it, the original eps ran during sweeps, which is why it was a longer story than the usual police procedural.
