Have I ever told you about my dislike for tacked-on "this is where they are now" story endings? J.D. Rowling committed arguably the worst atrocity in this vein, though most of the time it's just printed words superimposed at the end of a movie.
(The Animal House ending is an exception because I take it to be a send-up of American Graffiti.)
Some endings are better left ambiguous, and even for those that aren't, there are some absurdly gratuitous levels of detail out there.
