I'm sitting here watching "Grizzly Man", which was on my Netflix list til tonight, when the Discovery Channel obligingly showed it.
I will have more to say about this later, I guess, but so far I have mumbled "oh my god, I HATE you" at my screen several times, and the movie's not half over. If ever there was a human being who needed to be eaten by a bear, I can think of no one better than this stupid, clueless, blithering, self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing, babbling arrogant fuckwit. In fact, I feel sorry for the bear who ate this guy--they shot the bear, basically as a punishment, and I think the bear got the rough end of the deal....to say nothing of the girl who died with him.
Watching this movie is enough to make me want to become a Republican--if this is what the world sees of progressives and environmentalists and such, it's no wonder they hate us. After watching this movie, _I_ even hate us.
well, tell us how you REALLY feel!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to see this film. Herzog has a way of portraying people in a pretty harsh light. He doesn't pull any punches. So I guess I'm not surprised at your reaction.
ReplyDeleteI COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.
ReplyDeletecompletely agree. In my mind, any idot who runs around messing with wild animals gets what htey deserve. I feel horrible for the girl and the bear, but ths guy? Moron. Plain and simple. You can be an activist without being a crazy.
ReplyDeleteA saw this one a few months back and it just boggled my mind.
ReplyDeleteThat guy truly deserved to be eaten.
But further than that he was a very disturbed individual.
I can't say that I neccesarily liked the movie, but it was interesting to say the least.
