The 'Quirky' New Wave

Here's a well-written article on the subject of movies called The 'Quirky' New Wave. Some knowledge required, as director and movie namedropping occur. From the article:

"I, like most other right-minded people, hate the word 'quirky': it seems to lead far too easily to other distasteful terms such as 'wacky', 'zany', or even that most pointless of critical adjectives: 'weird'. So try to imagine my dismay when, time and again, I read reviews that consistently tar some of my favourite new American films with the quirky brush. What exactly does this word mean to these reviewers? And what is it about these films that makes them so quirky?"

Update: I have just been informed in a comment by Adblock creator Wladimir Palant that Adblock Plus also works with flash.
