mohancraig It's amazing how these useless people in our society who most likely smoke weed everyday claim to be somehow superior to those of us who just hold jobs (doing actual work) making money by earning it rather than extortion.. I never pay for parking unless it's a meter; paying for for parking is like paying to take a s**t!

preston-western I am hoping that I missed something by not watching the entire film. I can only hear people refer to themselves as 'over-educated' and not 'under-employed' so many times. These people are no more well read than half of our prison population, and I don't mean that as an insult; prisoners have a lot of time to read. Although these characters are somewhat appealing at first, they lose that appeal when they mock the 'privileged' client whom they believe they are exploiting. Spoiler alert! Not for the viewers, but for the characters. The owner is a savvy salesman who recognized your dissidence and arrogance combined with your resume populated with a lack of practical knowledge. He then gave you and your cohorts a place to hang-out and 'stick it to the man' for minimum wage.

radioheadrcm The Parking Lot Movie covers a group of intellectual social misfits that love the comfort of working in an environment that they can shape to their will, but hate dealing with the society that comes and goes through their business. Watching their interactions with the college surroundings is classic. On one side, you have parking lot employee with a PhD in anthropology, passionately working for minimum wage, and on the other is a drunk sorority girl driving a luxury SUV (assumed to be paid for by her parents), and she's trying to skip out on her four dollar parking fee. Although the entire film essentially takes place in a parking lot, it manages to create quite a bit of social commentary, and really works as a fun and thought provoking film.I picture The Parking Lot Movie working as a brilliant double bill with The Social Network. If one shows how intelligent outcasts can outclass society by working hard and becoming a powerful billionaire in just six years, the other shows how other intelligent outcasts can be just as happy removing themselves from the equation entirely, shielding themselves in apathy, and outclassing society in an entirely different way. The difference is really just between a Type A and B personalities. As the parking lot owner says: "I really like to hire Type B personalities." Overall, the content the film ends up being much more engaging than you'd expect. The parking lot itself almost seems like a last bastion of creativity and normalcy in an invading world of mindless consumption. The employees really make it out to be an amusing struggle, and you can't help but root for them. Personally, I can't remember ever feeling closer to a group of people on film, and I'm already recommending this to like-minded thinkers.

closesquarters Most of us have had unappreciated jobs... and so, can easily relate to the feelings of the attendants."The Parking Lot Movie" is not only a film about a parking lot, but also a metaphor to easily express the extremes of human nature towards one-another. Everyone has a dark and a good side. Funny how both faces come out in the most seemingly simplest of situations. Not only do we get to watch actual footage of these interactions, but the attendants (all well educated) explain their feelings to a fine point.It was also interesting to watch how the attendants spent their "down time," when the parking lot was slow. Games, painting slogans on the gate arm. "Idle Hands" are the parking attendant's workshop.Nicely done.
