Never saw it but I could tell it was horrible by the fact that it was always rented out at the movie store where I worked and all the most awful people in the world would always ask if there was any way I would know when it would be back in or if there was "one in the back" and then further irritate me by insisting…

My friends and I loved Con Air for its awfulness when we first saw it. We quoted it for months and were delighted to no end to find a "Put the Bunny Back in the Box" Streets of Rage-style fighting game on the official web site.

I suspect there are movies like that still being made today, but we're too old to know what dopey teenagers find profound.

Like anything, there's "good" and "bad" suburbs. I moved to the 'Burbs about two years ago, but my 'Burbs is mostly younger tech people, up-and-coming academics and a few retired old school union guys.

Excellent observation. I think "Office Space" works best of the "Guy Stops Giving a Fuck" Trilogy because it manages to avoid coming off as a giant, pretentious dick about it.

My reason for hating is pretty much the inverse of Sam's. I DON'T hate the suburbs, especially the late 90's suburbs which was, in reality, generally the most pleasant place to be in an era of internet boom-driven good feelings.
