“Fuck you, Peck, you’re a Mormon.. next to you, we all have a drinking problem” 💀

"This is a crucifixion , this is political. and dont tell me its not " - every man with a drinking problem

“This uhhh doesn’t have to be unpleasant” as it gets more and more unpleasant hahahaha

Does anyone else besides me find it difficult, if not impossible, to get through this scene without watching it a least 3-10 times? There's something about Malkovich getting angry that I find beyond hilarious. Actually, the entire movie is comedic genius.

I love the way David Rasche plays his character, like someone who is trying to be a figure that is authoritative in a low-key manner, but actually has no aplomb whatsoever and becomes nervous whenever anything happens at all.

What's great, is that in almost every other scene in this movie he has alcohol in his hand. Reinforcing the fact that he DOES have a drinking problem

Next to you, everyone has a drinking problem! That's a good one.

“And why is OLSON here?“ His contemptuous over-the-shoulder glare at Olson at 1:01 kills me every time. 😂

Malkovich was gonna portray the Vulture in the cancelled Spider-Man 4. Damn I really wanna see him as the Vulture. He’s perfect for the role.

He really pulls off wearing that bow-tie

“WHOSE! ASS! DIDNT! I KISS?!?!” 😂

I love how uncomfortable Cox makes his boss

I always wondered why Olsen was there.

The Cohen brothers write some bloody good material. Actors must love the opportunity of being in their movies. Every scene JM is in, he steals the show. My top 10 most re-watched movies.

“This. Is an. Assault.” Best reaction for the workplace

seriously I can't get enough of this scene, I keep watching it over and over. John Malkovich performance is hilarious in this scene

"Palmer, with all due respect: What. The *fuck*. Are you talking about?" Best moment of the clip that I am surprised no one else is mentioning. The way Malkovich is rubbing his face and squints his eyes before delivering this line. 😂 This line bubbles up in my mind whenever someone I am supposed to respect is making no sense at all, haha. I wish I had the courage to deploy it more often! Such a Coen Brothers line: "wtf are you talking about?" They use it a lot in The Big Lebowski too.

"You think that's a Schwinn?!"

I was hanging the laundry out to dry a few days back, and this scene suddenly popped into my mind. Gotta love when Malkovich is angry, such raw emotion.

1:55 has the best damn delivery lmao

This doesn't have to be unpleasant

As a mormon I can confirm he has a drinking problem

Every word, every expression, every movement, of Malkovich here is 100% absolute perfection as an Actor.

Classic scene. Everytime Mormon is heard by me this pops up in my head

This introduction scene made me laugh a lot regarding Osborne's drinking problem. John Malcovich's acting is really good here. He's awesome. That's the reason I saw this movie again.

No one is funnier pissed off than Malkovich

Btw, the "we're having the discussion now" argument was absolute horseshit, because in a discussion, he would've gotten at least SOME sort of defense, but they're just telling him what's already been decided. So all the power to Malkovich being mad, there

John Malkovich is such a great actor. He was very good in Being john Malkovich.

The scene on its own is easy to appreciate, but it gets so much more appreciable as the movie goes on because: 1. As others have said, Ozzie is almost never NOT drinking throughout the entire rest of the movie. 2. It becomes clear Olson does surveillance, so it's understandable Ozzie would be kind of startled him being there. 3. After a clearly long career of being an analyst and thinking he does "great fucking work", his clearance level is a whopping "3, no biggie". Dude clearly was not doing great work, lol. 4. If you put two and two together at the end, you realize it's Olson that shot Ozzie. This movie is a hidden masterpiece.

That look on the guy's face after Cox left. Priceless

That eyebrow raise at the end by Olson, just perfect to round the scene off.

This is how I felt after watching the latest Star Wars.

1:57 Me when my boss wants to shift blame on me for everything

This is what I thought of when my boss took me off of an important project and there was no previous discussion. My boss took me off the project in an email. My boss said that certain people didn't want me involved. I know who those certain people are, but there are still others I don't know yet. He said I wasn't important to this project. I'm back on the project thanks to my mechanical department's boss, but not the operations manager who is the head of the organization.

John Malkovich, never leave us ❤️

Hahahha look Olson's face at the last few seconds 🤣🤣🤣

You have a drinking problem, Mr. Anderson

1:55

A part of John Malkovich lives inside me. He’s an actual part of my personality that people do not expect to come out when backed into a corner. Lol

I just noticed a continuity error. When the camera is behind Malkovich, the desk chair is in front of him. When the camera is aimed from Palmer's pov, the chair is behind.

Cut short, next scene is him being alcohol at the store.

That stare at 1:19😂 Such great camera angles they used in this scene lol.

this is a crucifixion *t-poses*

Every single day at work I think of this scene even though I’ve been sober a long time now.

Palmer's "uuh" "um" is comedy gold for me

But seriously, how do you even demote a CIA officer without actually killing him?

Remember this guy in SledgeHammer (80s tv series)

Funny this is, despite Peck being a Mormon, they were right about his drinking problem.

If he only managed to maintain the T-pose for longer, I'm sure they'd reverse their decision.

Why is olson here?

2:17 that eye shrug at the end always gets me

The look on Olsen's face at the end really sells it

Lol that guys face at the end. Oh well!

B.F.R.I.M.H: Best Freaking Rant In Movie History. John Malkovich is such a boss in this 2008 masterpiece.

Hilarious scene, John Malkovich is superb in every role he plays. Does anyone know him as Grigor, the Russian oligarch on Showtime's series Billions?

1:55 me after watching Matrix Resurrections last night 😒

Malkovich at his crazy best

His ramp up to anger is as good as it gets

Something I love about the writing is how abundantly people swear when they’re upset or frustrated. Idk how else to put it, but it feels really realistic in a goofy way.

The eyebrow raise Olsen does at the end gets me everytime.

With the last interview Tim Burton gave regarding Batman Forever about his dark side being replaced by the colorful side and nipples of Batman's costume, I see this scene as I come to imagine Tim Burton's proposal and response where he confronted the producers (who were Bob Daly and Terry Semel) when they turned down his offer to make a third Batman movie in the same vein as Batman Returns and wanted to take on Joel Schumacher to make the movie more family-friendly, and Tim Burton who eventually told them to fuck off because the producers are angry with him for being too dark and weird with Batman who is himself dark ^^ I even imagine the small cast of this moment via this scene for fun: Tim Burton as Osbourne Cox Bob Daly (WB producer) as Palmer Smith Terry Semel (WB producer) as Peck Joel Schumacher as Olson

It's the bow tie, always the f*cking bow tie.

Похоже, герой Джона Малковича единственный человек, который меня понимает...

One of my favourite scenes of all time

I miss John Malko

I love the office in this scene. Just perfect.

This is how I feel about Marvel, Star Wars and Laou2

This is what good casting does. Too many movies focus on the leads and forget that even minor roles matter. Worlbuilding is not just about landscapes but also people. They give the minor parts to third rates. Here all the parts are chosen with an eye towards believability.

"Exerts Dominince with a T Pose" The Scene

well we're having the discussion ... now .... ROFL!

1:55 me after watching JOSSTICE LEAGUE, Fan4stic, Rise of Skywalker, Last Jedi, Birds of Prey, John Henry (the one movie with Ludacris in it lol) & Artemis Fowl

Speaking as someone that has been laid off, the line "we've having the discussion now" is brilliant. Basically, we had the discussion yesterday afternoon without you and we are now including you... but your input is irrelevant.

This reminds me of a scene where a nervous and intimed character stands up for hismelf

One of the greatest opening's of all time ,,What the f... is this?!"

This film was so fitting to start the day 😆 🤣 😂

this doesn't have to be unpleasant

I love this movie. I've watched it many times and am a stickler for continuity but never noticed the big mistake in this scene. Cox walks in and stands in front of the chair, then as he's introduced to Olson, the over the shoulder shot shows him behind the chair. Back to the frontal shot and he's back in front of the chair. The devil's in the details, but the Cohen Brothers managed to get away with that one.

I know this WHOLE SCENE BY HEART! 😂❤️

What a great piece of acting by Malkovich

Шикарная сцена)

The *look* after "you have a drinking problem" ...

1:45 the pronunciation of this kills me

I love this movie, and this scene is just peachy!

When the boss says: We are having the discussion now. I would say give me my severance and pay me for my holidays. Then just walk out. When he has been paid, come back with blackmail against all three of them and grind them into the concrete.

(1:55) Me after watching Halloween Ends (2022)

his delivery on "this is an assault" KILLS me 😂

The very next scene is Ozzy frantically mixing a drink 😂

“We’ll we’re having the discussion *now* “

What a great scene

The guy sounded like Chris Hansen, “have set.”

This gives me life

I have a drinking problem? But i have no problem drink

Agent Smith straight came out the matrix and told that man he has a drinking problem.

This is how most corporate meetings would go if we spoke our minds... "who's ass didn't I kiss? 😂😂😂

0:32 Sledge Hammer

It just perfectly sums up my latest fire from the company

When he found out that spider-man 4 got cancelled

“Whose ass didn’t I kiss?” Me at work whenever I get something shitty thrown at me 💀

Dudes Eye Brows lol 🤣 Carmine Canadian agreement

Malkovich is a great actor!
