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.
To list one no one else has mentioned yet: Sorry To Bother You
Horse people?
this, for multiple reasons
Fight Club
I’m not sure I’d put it in this category.
That’s more anti-finance than anti-work.
They run a business making soap, after all.
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.
Salt of the Earth
It’s more pro-labor and unions than anti-work, but is absolutely amazing, and there’s a cool story about production getting banned and the actors in the movie are the actual people from the incident. Totally worth watching.
- Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
- Hackers
This thread doesn’t have enough Office Space so I’m gonna say Office Space
You know what I’d do if I was rich? Two “Office Space” comments at the same time, man
Fuckin” A
One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.
They Live, Office Space, Fight Club, maybe big Lebowski
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.
The bums will always lose!
Modern Times (with Charlie Chaplin)
Soylent Green
