Perhaps quirky is the closest cishet comes to queer.
Mulaney can be read as the penetration of the WASP mainstream by quirk.
Also Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Kristen Wiig. Somehow I overlooked that whole crowd.

Who is Kusturica? In this vein of things?

well if i had to comment i'd say that the french look at "quirk" as something so un-French it becomes fascinating for them. Benny Hill is famously massive in France, for example.
Rivette, Godard, Rohmer are not quirky in the slightest. They're as French as can be.

Cisgender Heterosexual.

As opposed to transgender. Cis means something like "not having crossed a threshold" whereas trans means across some threshold.

Transpontine: on that side of the bridge.

A semantically solid set of terms, which I certainly can't always say about social justice.

probably despised by some Dissensus members, Balkan quirky
brass instruments, poultry, mud, Roma, nutters, psychics, Borat stole the music from the first here

it's a more psychotic and less confused/confusing incarnation of @constant escape

I've been waiting to give this answer.

Oh yes, I've seen Underground. I think @IdleRich made a thread about eastern european films and mentioned him, said how he always found a way to shoehorn his grating music into his films.probably despised by some Dissensus members, Balkan quirky. Brass instruments, poultry, mud, Roma, nutters, psychics, Borat stole the music from the first here
That said, I enjoyed Underground.

are you aware of the Oulipian use of the term clinamen, stan?
Clinamen. Lucretius' Latin for the Greek klesis, "a bending".
Empedocles (c.490-430 B.C.) uses the term to designate the spontaneous deviation that allows atoms falling in otherwise parallel lines to encounter one another and thus create matter; Lucretius extended the meaning of the word to include free choice. For Oulipians, the clinamen is a deviation from the strict consequences of a restriction. It is often justified on aesthetic grounds: resorting to it improves the results. But there is a binding condition for its use: the exceptional freedom afforded by a clinamen can only be taken on the condition that following the initial rule is still possible. In other words, the clinamen can only be used if it isn't needed.
[...] The clinamen was brought to the attention of Pataphysicians and Oulipians alike through the agency of Alfred Jarry, who rescued this obscure principle of classical philosophy and made it a central tenet of his "science of exceptions", 'Pataphysics.

I would say Edgar Wright qualifies as quirky, especially in technique. I've been meaning to rewatch some of his.

Interesting, no I didn't. Also haven;'t heard of Empedocles. Thought it was maybe Democritus by way of Lucretius.
But yeah I haven't given due diligence to Oulipo, but thats a great conception of clinamen, that deviation is only deviation so long as the rule is still an option.
