    Office Space

    Does anyone notice an improvement in the video quality of the movie on the new disk?? I own the original that was released years ago. I find many of the early scenes to not be that great in video quality (granted I am blowing the movie up to 125 inches). I don't care for 'extras' on a dvd...

    Why would you name your son a sexually suggestive name?

    My first name is 'BJ'. Thanks Mom and Dad! I've had the scorn of that name since about the 6th grade when I found out what a "BJ" was. I got in fights with kids about it until about 8th grade when I realized it might be alright. Sure, I get the laughs or the smirks when I introduce myself...
