I've seen the trailer for Punch-Drunk Love a few times in the theater (at Road to Perdition and One Hour Photo), and while I find it charming and intriguing, I'm not sure how theatergoers will react if they're expecting the preview to a typical Adam Sandler comedy: it's too low-key and strange for that, and the audiences I've seen it with have seemed more confused than anything else. For some reason, too, the sound is awfully muted whenever I've seen the trailer in an auditorium.

That said, I love the song "He Needs Me," featured at the end of the trailer, as performed by Shelley Duvall in the movie Popeye. I haven't been able to find it online, but if any of you Kazaa-wired types could track down an MP3 for me, I'd be forever grateful.
