  Hey,
  I rented a movie recentlly about a guy who was supposedly
  making a bear proof suit. The movie drags on and on with
  the same things being repeated over and and over. He improves his suit
  several times because the early models don't seem rugged enough.

  He finally gets this improable contraption built that weighs about
  a hundred pounds. And then finally, finally!!! he's in Alaska, and
  they put the suit on.

  He can't walk. The idiot didn't design it so you could walk in a field.
  At this point you're hoping he'll get eaten. I don't want to watch
  yours so see if it's worse than mine.

  But I bet it is.

    the guy had seriously been mauled by a grizzly. That was the whole point of his pursuit (pun intended)... to face his demon again on somewhat equal footing.
    I thought it was a great portrait of obssession.
    Don't let it stop you from watching Grizzly Man: very different films. Completely.

      Hi,
      Outside did a big article on the guy. Let me say it again, after waiting for an hour to get this guy into Alska, he gets there.

      He's in his suit, takes one step and keels over. At least the guy in your movie has the decency to get eaten ;)

        obsessions ever recorded on film. Kind of a shaggy bear story.

  ...and while I wouldn't rate it as one of the year's best - as the "consensus of 40 critics" has - it was fascinating because this was an actual person - not Andy Dick - who lived among the grizzleys for 13 summers in Alaska before they finally tired of him and had him for dinner.

  Fascinating, especially for Werner Herzog's narration. And some great Alaska wilderness scenery. Overall quirky, but I'd give it a C+.

  I thought Grizzly Man great. How Herzog could approach this subject/topic in such an understanding and compassionate way is very impressive. Treadwell was obviously a troubled and unusual person and seemed like no one I'd care to know or really even know of. By the end of the film though, I was glad I'd experienced the incredible footage Treadwell had shot and the perspective Herzog presented on this truly weird guy. For that - presenting a documentary on a subject I'm unfamiliar with and making it interesting and "enjoyable" - I give Herzog high praise.
  That's a successful documentary. Maybe it helps I'm a fan of Herzog and most all his films.

  The documentary on the making of the music for Grizzly Man included in the documentary DVD Grizzly Man is fantastic too.

  Have you seen Incident at Loch Ness? THAT"S a hell of a documentary...

    What is Loch Ness? It can't be about Nessie. Or is it about the fake report of Nessie now exposed as a hoax?

      an obsessive thing to do by an obsessed individual, but it does beg the question: Where would mankind be without this special type of madness?
      The Wrath of God is another great Hertzog/Kinski collaboration, an equally flawed mission and doomed hero...

  I think I'll wait for it to show up on HBO and catch the last 15 minutes.
