What is with Hollywood's fascination with strange people? By some weird twist of fate I recently watched four movies (almost in a row) where the main character(s) were abnormal, namely:

Punch Drunk Love
About Schmidt
American Psycho
Secretary

I guess this might indicate something about what they expect us to like. You know, keep the easily-distracted (blame TV, right?) audience on their toes! Expect the unexpected. But even that gets tired ...

If you take the violence out of American Psycho it was actually funny ... I just liked how you couldn't tell if the main character was being sarcastic or serious thoughout the movie. It just cracked me up. But the gore definitely puts a damper on that in a hurry.
