Timothy Treadwell, who didn't, was hailed as "the bear man'.
And I wish it was satire, but it isn't.
They receeded into clouds of dope smoke, and enslaved entire nations by rejecting the flag, the military and this nations classic values. You may credit the millions of dead in Cambodia to them, the millions imprisoned and executed in post-war Vietnam, as well. The political prisons in North Korea, the executions of journalists on Cuban beaches, the slaughters and slavery in the Sudan -- it has all been part of the same package, the result of the same stupidity which was not invented but rather inflated by the sixties."
If some thoughtless hunter had shot that bear... and that bear therefore hadn't been around to eat that waste of lunch, and the rocket scientist chick with him...
... then the movie would have doubtlessly been even longer, and even more pathetic. Bear hunters of the world... stop and think of what critical function that bear you are about to shoot might serve.
There is still, for instance, college professors, lawyers, and Michael Moore.
More suitable for post number 30.
"Why is making a movie about a guy celebrating him?
He's a nut. That doesn't mean he's not facinating. "
I shared your opinion, until I watched the movie. The movie was made by his nutty sympathizers, and he seems to be a vain self absorbed nut, for whom the bears were just another prop in his journey for self-aggrandizement.
He spent his life, trying to show the world how gentle Grizzly Bears really are.
He succeeded.
For those that have seen Grizzly Man in its entirety, this parody is pretty funny.

You rang? Now, c'mere and gimme a kiss!
It sounds like the plot of a Dick Shawn movie.
They lost me where it said he wasn't gay so he went to Alaska. There's so many women up there?
The Bear looked at the guy and saw either something to Fight, Fu%^ or eat.
That guy was a maniac...I don't know what kind of dope he was smoking, but I can assure you that it was pretty good. I can't believe he made it that long. There is a stuffed Grizzly or Kodiak in the Anchorage airport that is mounted standing on it's back legs and the thing is over 10 feet tall. It is basically a friendly reminder to visitors that they shouldn't wander off in the fields without being aware of their surroundings. I lived in Anchorage as a kid and my dad always brought the 300 Weatherby when we went out for a picnic. One day I asked him why he always brought the gun. Well, the timing was impeccable, because at that moment, a huge Grizzly was lumbering along the treeline on the opposite side of the clearing. All my dad had to do was point in that direction and say,"That's why." I will never forget that.
True.
We want # 44 back !
The Forest Service has issued a BEAR WARNING in the national forests for this summer. They're urging everyone to protect themselves by wearing bells and carrying pepper spray. Campers should be alert for signs of fresh bear activity, and they should be able to tell the difference between Black Bear dung and Grizzly Bear dung. Black Bear dung is small, round and sometimes has seeds or squirrel fur in it. Grizzly Bear dung has bells in it, and smells like pepper spray.
Zappa fan? That's one of the funniest songs I've heard outside of Monty Python.
It looks like one already did.
Hie thee to a place where hippies are treated abusively, and cannot lay their blankets of socialist love over the children in the schools.
That's not too many places these days. Libs have taken over the schools. Gotta do it yerself these days.
