Binx's philosophy of life

I think that Binx searches for his own personal meaning in life, through the lives of others. He goes to the movies to detach himself, but also to continue his search in an artificial world, in one that is essentially not real. He seems to recognize the fact that his physical place in the world has nothing to do with any outcome of his search, and he even seems to somewhat recognize the fact that his compulsive romantic relationships are not the answer either. However, he cannot break the cycle of his own monotony, which he is ultimately seeking to do. I think that while Binx seems like an interesting, eccentric character, he's simply a human being, and we feel different from him because we cannot see our own thoughts written down in a novel. Perhaps if we could we would recognize that Binx's search is every human being's search; that going to the movies is his alternative searching medium, while for some it's drugs or alcohol or food or relationships or shopping or being obsessed with finding some ultimate truth, etc.
