Oh yes. I've been itching. Because nothing says, "I hope people disagree with me" like watching a movie again and stating that it's still an enjoyable flick.
Wrong again. People trashed you because you couldn't tell anyone WHY you disliked the ending. You sputtered around and didn't have anything beyond, "I didn't like it." Again, refer to my earlier comment about being unable to articulate yourself properly.
Uh, what evidence do you have that we're taking it personally? As I said before, anyone is free to tell me they don't like NCfOM, if they can provide some sort of rationale for why they feel that way.
Just a thought... if I were to boil this movie down to it's most basic elements, it's a movie about a drug war and a homicidal maniac indiscriminately slaying people who stand in his path. Several of the main characters die, and the "good guy" gives up trying to hunt the "bad guy".
What part, exactly, did you hope to feel happy or uplifted by?
You're awfully defensive for accusing people of caring too much about a movie.
Why are you telling a movie what it should and should not be, now? The Coen brothers don't care about your personal situation. They made a movie to tell a story. What a movie "should" do in your opinion is completely irrelevant.
Have you ever considered that maybe that's exactly what the Coen brothers wanted you to feel? It wasn't meant to be a feel good film. The ending is not supposed to be happy or comforting -- at most, you feel catharsis for the life the Sheriff has lived, who he is, and what has become of him through the progression of the movie, because we've all been in situations where we feel exactly the way he is feeling, or close to it... helpless to do anything about the tempest that's swirling around him.
