While I was reviewing some movies on my facebook, I had this epiphany: I like geeks! Be them a quirky girl looking for her Mr. Right, a high school misfit befriending other weirdoes or even a glasses-wearing nerd that chops off other people's limbs for a feast, I just love them. People say you like things because you see reflections of yourself or projection of aspirations in them. So deep down I feel like a blood-thirsty unpopular outcast longing for someone as weird as I am. Great. Now I feel so much better about myself. :-D
Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain
This girl has a gnome taken around the world to encourage her dad to leave his prison of home and sadness. She comes up with creative methods helping or punishing other people and falls for a guy who works in a porn shop and enjoys scraping discarded Polaroid photos from under photo booths.
Napolean Dynamite
The one-ton TNT seems to always have 3 seconds' delay in response and his mouth is always open forming a perpetual moronic look. His uncle sells breast enhancement products and his best friend shaves his head because a fever makes him feel hot. And then da bomb dishes out this amazing out-of-date dance that totally blows your mind.
And finally my favorite, Kevin of Sin City
Kevin wears preppy clothes and always has glasses on. His smile is ever-polite while he chops limbs off of living humans for a feast. This taciturn guy never speaks a word. He just indulges in his little hobby and actually seems happy when someone shares his liking by chopping him up. How's that for a change from the puppy-eyed Frodo. Totally altered my impression on Elijah Wood.
