You would think that cults form around something truly exceptional. But sometimes they embrace something exceptionally unexceptional. I first heard about Office Space while reading some geek blog. It just mentioned the title, it didn’t comment on it at all. But out of curiosity, I thought I would check out the movie and I liked it.

Office Space describes the plight of three software engineers working for A Big Faceless Corporation. While indeed there aren’t a lot of movies about coders, it’s curious how popular this one has become. Maybe it’s just because it is so plain and simple that people love it. Office workers everywhere seem to identify themselves with it.

Of course, it’s no surprise to see frequent references on thedailywtf.com, but now ThinkGeek is selling a Swingline stapler.

Heads up: Jennifer Aniston is her annoying self, but she has a small part and doesn’t ruin the movie.
