I came closer on Being John Malkovich than Adaptation or Sunshine.

The abstract quirkiness of Being John Malkovich is at least challenging in a surreal imaginative way. I've never seen Human Nature, so I have no opinion on it, but I'm of the opinion that a film HAS to have characters that I care about in order to hold my interest, regardless of whether they're heroic or villainous. You are correct that it isn't an either/or situation; that's not exactly what I meant by "an acquired taste which some folks will NEVER acquire." I do assess films on a case by case basis, but my negative appraisal of Charlie Kaufman's writing skill is indicative of the general direction he seems headed, if we are to assume that he, as an developing screenwriter, is gravitating toward a certain style. In essence, his style appearsd to be moving farther and farther away from my particular tastes.

Of course there are many filmgoers raving about Kaufman's writing. Lots of folks like what he's doing and I respect those differing opinions.
