Seems about right

I watched every Coen brothers movie. - By David Haglund - Slate Magazine

I used to be keen on seeing Coen Brothers movies, but lost interest after Fargo, which despite being a big critical success, indicated to me that people were seeing more in their oeuvre than was actually there.

This article sort of backs that up; I think.

I should still see the True Grit remake. Is it on DVD yet?

True Grit is worth seeing, as is No Country for Old Men. Neither ending is as brilliant as the rest of the film, but it's a shame to watch a film just for the ending. I haven't seen Fargo yet, so don't know what upset you there.

Hi Anne. You haven't commented for a long time, I thought you may have gone.

There is nothing very wrong with Fargo at all. It's just that people seemed to think it was really great, and I just couldn't see why.
