        They work only to bring chaos… “it was beautiful, we were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them”. Tyler works in a restaurant to piss in the soup. Works in a cinema so that kids see single slices of hardcore porn. The narrator bleeds all over himself to blackmail his boss into paying him to ‘work’ from home and do nothing.

        They didn’t just shun work they were actively trying to destroy it.

    I’ll give you three guesses why Disney has never greenlit a sequel to A BUG’S LIFE, and the first two guesses don’t count.

      Joe Vs. The Volcano is among my favorite movies ever made.

        Mr Waturi is the unsung hero of that film. As a supporting actor, he nailed the tone of the film by personifying the rank stupidity of corporate thinking.

        He can definitely do the job.

      They Live is about manipulating the masses to consume and be silent. Work is just a small side topic.

      Fight Club is about personal power over people. Domination.

      Big Lebowski is your typical loser story. A fairy tale.
