Me, I'm glad to know. Especially because what we found is so intriguing. (If the ship wasn't crushed by the ice, why exactly did it sink?)
Same. If what you like is the mystery, it's not like it's been destroyed by the discovery. I like the knowledge and I want to know if we are ever going to learn the rest of the story.
also, your comment about "overall closest to a noir" made me wonder -- have you ever seen Brick?
Yes, in 2010; I just didn't write much about it. Now that I know more about film noir, in memory Brick looks specifically like the hard-boiled detective kind, the Raymond Chandler/Dashiell Hammett school, which I think is not actually the majority. I'm still trying to figure out how it became the default view of the genre, the strongest influence on neo-noir. It can't just be the primacy of The Maltese Falcon (1941) and The Big Sleep (1946), which despite their star power and their undeniably deserved cultural importance have started to look rather atypical to me.
