"It's not going to be a business hub, [and] the downtown economy doesn't provide for high-end retail space," so "we need to promote it and encourage it to grow otherwise." He added, "Our downtown is what it is. It's never going to be a metropolis of high-rises, and because our zoning regulations have allowed office use in residential areas, there's a limited demand for office space downtown." So what else can keep it alive, continued Mr. Pilla, but "what we have there now-specialty shops,... (Brookfield Journal, CT)

Review: 'Extract' - a life derailed by oddballs Sep 5, 2009
Written and directed by "Beavis and Butt-head" creator Mike Judge, "Extract" has a bit more sentimental bounce to it than his last stab at workplace comedy, 1999's slacker-praise song "Office Space" - now beloved by printer-smashing cubicle drones across America. Joel's problem isn't so much professional ennui as a mounting accretion of oddballs: every day, in every way, his life is derailed by eccentrics. (San Francisco Chronicle)
Mike Judge's triumphant return to the office Sep 4, 2009
Judge is also, of course, the creator of TV's "Beavis & Butt-Head" and "King of the Hill," as well as the director of the disappointingly flat 1996 and the beloved cult fave "Office Space" (1999), so his crackpot credentials are pretty well established.

There's about as much "story" here as was featured in Office Space, freeing up the film to be mainly about its characters and their legitimately hilarious exchanges.

Alas, while Office Space and Idiocracy were both funny movies that meandered somewhat messily toward their resolutions, Extract makes those earlier movies look like the very model of well-crafted comedy.
