Gonna avoid it like the plague.

Would you have liked The Godfather if Al Pacino had been killed offscreeen?

Would you have liked Unforgiven if it had ended with Clint Eastwood getting sideswiped off his horse by an out-of-control wagon?

Would you have liked Seven if the box hadn't been delivered because the delivery truck broke down?

**** THAT ENDING.

Ending make brain hurt!!
Hulk SMASH!!!

The ending was perfect.

I'll explain. The entire point was:

Spoiler!

Frazod 11-22-2008 05:58 PM

Art my ass. I get tired of people trying to put a pretty bow on a steaming turd and call it "art," and then poo-poo the people who "don't get it."

I got it. I understand the point.

AND THAT DIDN'T STOP THE ENDING FROM SUCKING ASS.

Thank you.

What I found annoying was the fact that he was crammed down your throat for you to sympathize with. He was so pure and so good, almost like the conscience of the Man. It was annoying that even at the end of the book, despite this world being a truly horrible place and full of horrible people, that he was still being so naive.

1. At least show Brolin getting killed. Too major of a character to get greased offscreen. And to get popped by people who were barely part of the story?

2. Skip the wreck. Pointless and annoying.

I don't care that the bad guy won. That's fine. But the whole story is leading you to a confrontation, and then when it should happen they just shove shit in your face and call it art. If I'm somehow lame for wanting the storyline resolved, well, sue me. If I want to see a bunch of disjointed random shit I'll look out the window.

You're lame and don't get it.

Shouldn't you be sipping espresso in Greenwich Village right now?

Sigh:shake:

THere is a reason this film was up for many Oscars (and won many Oscars)...CAUSE ITS BRILLANT!!!

Seriously, if you hated the ending then if I were you I would rewatch it or something cause the ending is the best part. It is deep and touching. Tommy Lee Jones' monologue really hits home.

As far as showing Brolin getting killed goes...why??? The Coens were doing something less conventional and it worked out perfectly. Brolin was offed just like that and that was a great move.

Of course, I dont expect a number of you "simpletons" to understand this film or book. That would be asking too much.:shake:

Everybody who loved this movie - meet your new friend. LMAO
