Mike Judge’s Office Space is a hysterically brilliant piece on the soul-sucking nature of certain sorts of employment. The scene where they smash the fax machine is one of the most inspiring moments in American cinema ever.

The Cyberpunk Hex of Corporate Goth

The Cyberpunk Hex of Corporate Goth

- by in Blue Blood

Corporate Goth is a familiar expression in East Coast cities where people tend to separate their playtime from their workdays.
