just a nonmendacious like PSA on this wee gem of a flick called CLOCKWATCHERS from '97? Yes I am too lazy to imdb it.Why i love this film:
- toni collete is in it and so is parker posey. need i say more?
- it captures the life of the temp in a way that i could at the time completely relate to and identify with. and if any you ever have that 'which direction' is my life moving in and i'm all depressed and 'agh' about it then you'll totally get this film... the pecking order, office politics and the certain soul sucking moments that it sometimes opens you to. an evil demeaning manager, weirdo office mates, rubberband balls... i find a way to reference this movie in every office i'm ever in... it's that applicable to my life.
- it's especially come into play because of the recent surfacing of a kleptomaniac in the office. the usual suspects and the actual reality.
- it's not a happy go lucky movie but it has a sharp sense of humor and wit and some dare i say it, pointed commentary on the modern work environment.
- cap this movie off with the equally brilliant and more blatantly outrageous: office space...

Saw it, but can't remember it. I see everything with Parker Posey in it.
kurt that is hardly an assenting declaration of your approval. i demand more, or that you will recommit yourself to seeing it.
I totally love this movie and all the actresses therein. Same brain, m, same brain.
I'm trying to think of other work movies, aside from the obvious Office Space. Hmmmmmm.
Well yearrs ago in the dark ages of the 80's, there was the movie 9 to 5. IMDB it.
