Well, don't you think that being paralysed would become extremely boring very quickly?
Isn't the very point of the continued camera/eye angle to show just how little he can perceive and partake in the world whilst all along thinking, thinking.
And as for saying all the women are gorgeous... is this not the very thing Hollywood is continually criticised for, but in that unreal, botox and silicon manner combined with a starvation diet and 12 hour a day gym workouts that makes some actresses so repellent to look at?
At least these women look like women.
