Yeah, I'm such a friggin liar.

He got eaten. I've seen portions of the movie. I didn't say it showed his dumb ass getting eaten in the movie- hell I dunno what happened in the end- it was stupid.

That movie was so farking dumb, that it defied logic. If the events weren't certifiably documented proof, I would have said that "nobody is this friggin stupid" in the same way that a teenager goes down into a dark basement alone in a horror movie.

Confabulat
I had the misfortune of seeing Grizzly Man for the first time yesterday, and I too laughed my ass off when they said he gotten eaten by a grizzly. His dedication to the grizzlies was remarkable, but the guy was nuttier than peanut brittle. When you play with the grizzlies, sometimes the grizzlies play back.

/Countless times thought to myself, "and here comes the BEAR TO THE FACE"

Rent or buy "Grizzly Man." Fascinating flick. Discovery had commercials like every two minutes! The follow-up program was pretty interesting. Anyone know if that's on the DVD?

(Takes a while to "get" Treadwell. He looks, moves, and sounds like Carson Kressley's lost twin brother.)

Am I the only one that giggled at the name Kermode?

Confabulat: Is it a late night macho internet thing?

lest we forget, this IS fark.

the guy needed help, was not up to the park service to provide it, only use him as an example of what not to do perhaps...

standing on the shore of a river playing with bear poo bragging about how it was just inside her and then or prior to being in the lake trying to touch the/a bear as it swats you away with claws that make jason look like a wimp, and continuing to do so day in and day out over a period of years.... Well, the guy needed help..

Confabulat: I was just wondering, is all. Is it a late night macho internet thing?


I'm wondering the same thing about you. He never claimed the movie showed anyone being eaten. He made a relatively innocuous comment and you're all up in his face over it.

Anyone who is quick to accuse others of lying is a liar themself.

I was shot in the arse with an air rifle once, when I was a kid. Hurt like hell but it didn't penetrate the skin.

I don't know why Lord Summerisle feels the need to lie about being shot with an air rifle. Its so obvious too, everyone knows that the pellet is just insignificant.

\i keed i keed
\\couldn't help but kick it with the parody

Werner Herzog once walked on foot from Munich to Paris to visit an ailing friend.

It could lodge under the skin and cause a nasty infection.

um... grizzly man was facinating and all, but herzog's ouvre has far better films to identify him by. i have no doubt that anybody who worked as consistantly as he did with whackjob klaus kinski would have a similar steely resolve. "you shot me? i had to direct kinski at gunpoint so that he wouldn't kill everyone on set. bring it."

When I was a kid I got shot in the hand by a high power air rifle (720FPS IIRC), it didn't hurt at first so I squeezed the wound like a pimple and popped the pellet out and put a band aid on it. Hurt like a motherfarker about 1/2 a second later though!

"It was not a significant bullet. I am not afraid."

That's hella German.

I Wish I Could Quit You

Even better is his rationale behind "[walking] on foot from Munich to Paris to visit an ailing friend". He believed that she wouldn't dare die before he had visited her, and the she would live the few extra weeks/months that it took for him to get there.

She ended up living 10 more years or so.

I'm not going to join the people accusing others of lying, but I'm noticing a really weird trend among the posts of people saying they didn't like the movie. Their logic seems to go something like this:

Timothy Treadwell's actions = stupid

Therefore, Movie about Timothy Treadwell's actions = stupid.

The point of the movie (in my opinion) was to point out that people do odd and admittedly stupid things in the pursuit of happiness. In that regard, I thought the movie did extremely well.

Just my two cents.

If you cut of Werner Herzog's left arm, he just shrugs and grows a new one.

I love Werner Herzog. The man is simply amazing. He drug a steamship over a mountain, threatened Klaus Kinski with murder/suicide when he threatened to quit working on Aquirre, seriously planned to firebomb Kinski's house, ate his shoe because he bet Errol Morris that he would never finish Gates of Heaven, threw himself into a cactus patch for the cast of Even Dwarfs Started Small...

It just goes on and on. Herzog is a god.

Watched Grizzly Man last night on Discovery Channel

JustinCase: Any links to the BBC interview video?



It was on 'The Culture Show' on BBC 2 last week.

I saw it, and thought it was maybe a plant by Herzog at first - not realising until later that he actually had been shot when they were on location interviewing.

It was only afterwards inside, and near the end of the interview inside that Herzog showed his wound.

It was not just a little bruise either, it was bleeding and actually looked serious. The pellet hit the fleshy part of the crotch - below and to the right of his belly button...a good few inches from his family jewels.

He still kinda dismissed it though.


Das ist mutterfarking hardtkore, ya!!

Werner Herzog > Chuck Norris

But < Bill Brasky.

peachpicker: Herzog once dragged a steamship overland through a South American jungle for one of his films. He's an amazing character.






I've been dying to see than movie ever since I heard about it.

/might have to join Netflix again just for that

Hey, a real Hollywood tough guy!

Because I think Herzog is a mad genius and should rule a small country somewhere in the jungle, populated by dwarfes...


Here's Mark Kermode talking about his experience during that interview.

There's a review of the film, Grizzzly Man at 26 minutes in, and the Werner Herzog incident at 9 mins.

Werner Herzog's poop is considered currency in Argentina.

His foreskin is used to cover Yankee stadium when it rains.

Werner Herzog is the German version of Chuck Norris.

tHeCoNmAn2k5:

To Bill Brasky! A ten foot tall, two ton son of a biatch who could eat a hammer and take a shotgun blast standing!

I think there should be a "BADASS" or "HARDCORE" tag. "COOL" just doesn't do it justice and "HERO" is sometimes a bit much.

DO YOU WANT FILM-MAKING?!

Werner Herzog once drank a full glass of liquid LSD with his eggs. Then he slept for 8 months straight. When he woke he rubbed his eyes and said, 'All in all, I prefer gin.'

/last rip off

"He's a BIG BEAR! Such a big bear!"

I started to watch Grizzly Man last night but couldn't stay up - looked good though. Do they play the audio of the mauling?

Herzog ist mein Held.

Well, it's not so heroic. I mean, it was a freaking BB gun. I've been shot with BB guns before, and while it smarts, it's not exactly gunshot trauma.

I'd be more interested in the asshat who thought it would be funny to shoot an elderly man.

Priapulid: Werner Herzog is the German version of Chuck Norris.

Actually, I think it's German for Chuck Norris. It's gotta be.

Everyone knows about the bear that ate Timothy Treadwell. What people don't know is that shortly after making "Grizzly Man," Werner Herzog ate the bear that ate Timothy Treadwell.

Ishkur

YES! That game is t3h pwnz0rz!!11!one

IMPORTANT NOTICE MANY OF WERNER HERZOG'S MOVIES:

WATCH THEM IN ENGLISH.

Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre: Wrath of God were filmed entirely in English and later dubbed in German.

Crazytree
And it seems as though the DVDs are made to play the German dub by default.

It's funny, I just bought the Herzog/Kinski box set yesterday. Watched "Fitzcarraldo" last night. Getting ready to watch "Aguirre" today. I've seen them all before, but I wanted to own them.

Herzog is a genius and 'My Best Fiend' is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen.

OralB: Do they play the audio of the mauling?


No, they don't, but I'd love to hear it if it ever leaks to the public..that is if Treadwell's friend didn't destroy it.

How on earth do you "quietly bleed" in your boxer shorts? That's not an area that quietly and bleeding go together.

You couldn't even break the skin with that, Mr. Grizzle...

from wikipedia:
in the audio, Treadwell can be heard fighting the bear, while Huguenard yells at him to play dead (a known defense against bear attacks), and later to fight back. Treadwell can then be heard telling Huguenard to hit the bear and the audio stops shortly afterwards.

Wow. I think maybe he was a retard but that still sucks hard.
