  2. Well it's been quite a while since I saw it but I seem to remember liking what the guy was doing at first and then he kind of slowly devolved as the movie went on. He was clearly insane though.

    His heart was in the right place but I can't say I approve of his methods. I think he not only put himself in danger but the bears as well. It can't be good to get that close to wild animals, for either party. The human puts his or her life at stake and also risks habituating the wild animal to contact with humans, which may put the animal in danger.

    Let me be the first to admit I am by no means an expert on wild animals. But I have to say Treadwell reminded me a great deal about Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin. I didn't like his methods too well either.

    The movie was very captivating tho. A good documentary IMO.

  3. I've seen Grizzly Man, it was fascinating. I'm a huge animal lover but that guy was a little bit nuts. I'll go with a few movie notes I have off the top of my head.

    A little? The guy was a frikken nutcase. A walking disaster waiting to happen.

  4. I don't remember the last time I went here, so sorry if I've posted this before.

    Tuesday last week I recorded a very interesting documentary on a Swedish channel, and another interesting one yesterday. I wonder if they have a theme on wacky people or something cause it can't be a coincidence they're showing these docs one after the other. ;)

    The first one was Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man, about Tim Treadwell who spent 13 summers in Alaska interacting with bears. In 2003 he and his girlfriend were killed and partially eaten by a bear.

    The other one was The King of Kong. This is about two people competing for the Donkey Kong high score. Billy Mitchell set a world record in 1982, now Steve Wiebe is trying to break that record. A fierce and bitter fight ensues. A must-see for gaming freaks and psychology majors everywhere.

    Two different but in its own right very interesting documentaries that I would strongly recommend.
