Or Butt Ugly Old Guys like Woody Allen and Gary Shandling have gorgeous nyphettes throw themselves at them with no apparent explanation. Defies common sense, doesn't it?
There two are excellent - let's call them the "Gump" Rule and the "Jack Nicholson" rule.
Oh, and you also hit it on the head about "High Fidelity." There's no plot, and Cusack just talks to the camera the whole time.
Talking to the camera might be a rule in and of itself, as are narrations (see Moulin Rouge for the most pointless narrator ever) but there are probably more exceptions to these than most of the other rules;
which brings me to something else: sure, of course, there are probably one or two exceptions to each of the rules above, and you're not exactly being clever for pointing them out.
