oooohhh. just remembered another great one is
"So you are just going to quit your job?"
"No, I am just not going to go in anymore."

And the quote is:"We see you've been missing a lot of work Peter"
"I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob."

"accounts payable Nina speaking, jusssst a moment,"
"accounts payable Nina speaking, jusssst a moment,"

Did anyone else notice the box of "E-109" inside Milton's cubicle? Wasn't E-109 the cure for the nasty virus in the movie "Outbreak" with Dustin Hoffman.

You can see it in a shot looking out from Milton's desk. It's written in black marker on a box in his cubicle.

Maybe I'm crazy..

OH, and what computer programmer wouldn't know what PC LOAD LETTER means on an HP Printer/Fax machine?

PC = PAPER CARTRIDGE
PC LOAD LETTER = LOAD LETTER SIZED PAPER INTO THE PAPER CARTRIDGE

The PC Load letter I never really understood. I got it after a while, but wouldnt it be easier to say "out of paper"

besides...the line is damn funny.

Ahh, office space. I remember cutting out of work one afternoon to go see this in the theater (I was working at Nortel at the time). Just seemed sort of fitting, that's all. Still holding out for the SE though. Can't we just get them to cancel King of the Hill so Mike Judge can work on the SE?

I saw an article in the paper this week about this - due to extreme demand, Swingline is actually making a RED stapler now!

Any updates on the SE? I'm hoping I can hold out on buying this... but if it's another year or two I may have to buy the "bare-bones" edition.

Thanks,

Miles

Bear in mind the current version is NOT anamorphic (I wish someone had warned me before I bought it- these days I just assume widescreen= anamorphic)

Although it's not anamorphic, it's not a bad transfer.

Office Space SE

What's happening with the Office Space SE? Any possible release date or news? Last I heard (months ago) it was given the go ahead. I tried to search for past threads but could not locate any.

Bob: Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately.
Peter: I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob.

This was brought up during Peter Staddon's last HTF chat, December 2nd 2002.

. . .any word on progress of the OFFICE SPACE:SE? Many of us are
still waiting and seeing that non-anamorphic version, while affordable, is depressing...

The Office Space SE is held up big time. Agents got involved and it got ugly in a
hurry. I think you will see Office Space 2 before you see the SE - but I haven't given up on it. . .

Maybe this is an example of what Bill Hunt brought up in the Aliens 9 disc forum? (see page 9, perhaps someone wiser than me can post a link?). Did wild speculation by the internet comunity about the features cause the cancelation of the release?

Of course, that same speculation made me NOT buy the current release, as I too am holding out for the SE. (after reading the specs as published on many sights, and I believe by Mike Judge, I just can't bring myself to dish out the cash for the current version! Can anyone chime in on how that current version is, transfer wise?)

Russel, I have the current version, and I must say this. It is non-anamorphic 1.85:1, and honestly, I think that it is a great transfer. Sure, it isn't Lord of the Rings quality, but it is good considering it was made in 1999. I don't have a widescreen/HDTV, so I can't tell you what it looks like on one of those sets. But it looks fine on my 6 or 7 year old (approximately) 32 inch Sony, which has no S-Video input. :b

The transfer is pretty good but it's non-anamorphic...plus there's a full screen version lurking around at some retailers so watch which version you pick up. Overall though I'd say pick it up because it'll be awhile before a special edition.

It's not coming any time soon... just get the regular version. It REALLY isn't as bad as you think it is

I have the regular version, and have watched it in FILL mode on my HDTV. I must say it looks pretty decent, again it would be much sharper and clear with an anamorphic transfer, but for the 15 bucks (Canadian) that they're asking for, I say go for it. It may be a WHILE before the SE comes out.

Dammit, why don't they make one? I know the first one did not make a lot of money, but it was done on a low budget. I can't think of anybody I know that hasn't seen Office Space (all they all love it). I think a sequel would be very profitable for Fox, considering it would likely have a low budget (maybe you would have to ditch Jennifer Aniston) but still....

I bet Office Space 2 would make at least 40 million at the box office and would cost maybe half of that to make.

I don't know about a sequel quality-wise. If Mike Judge was still aboard then he could spin something out but otherwise I think the story should end there.

No, no Office Space 2!

They will just ruin it! (like almost every sequel to a intelligent comedy EVER)

I'd go ahead and buy the first one. For ~$15 you can get a great deal of replay value out of it in the meantime while a "supposed" SE is on the way.

Interesting news and developments on the Office Space SE...

Looks like I will have to pick up this week's Entertainment Weekly....

First up, about the possibility of an Office Space Special Edition (which we have heard much in the last year): Don't hold your breath. Director Mike Judge won't sign on because "the studio wants to stiff him on a deal."


Hmm, it DOES mention however that if the SE does arrive, it will have all of the "Milton" shorts from SNL, and it also mentions this....



Second, Fox studio chief Tom Rothman uses his interview with EW as a strange time to pitch a sequel to Mike Judge. "You should tell him it's a good idea!" the very excited Rothman says. "Please encourage him because we want to do it. Although we'd have to come up with a better title. Ha! Office Space 2: Still Renting!"
