I was just baffled because the plot was building, and building, and building and I figured something HUGE was going to happen, and it didn't, and I was like...wtf?!

I would suggest revisiting it. There's something ineffable about Coen brothers movies where they get better on repeat viewing.
Luckily the first Coen Bros movie I saw was Raising Arizona, so I enjoyed it from the get go. But, and there a sense of shame when I say this, I was quite disappointed the first time I watch The Big Lebowski. But a few months later I gave it a second chance, and now it's one of my all time favorites.
There's something about how they create an off-kilter world, and the first time you watch, it's all you can do to follow the plot. But as you become more familiar, the small 'beats' and touches come through and the experience becomes more and more enjoyable.
