I'm just suprised it took 13 years for the bears to get sick of him.

Saw "Grizzly Man" tonight, did you?
I caught it during its premiere on Discovery. I think the movie itself is a masterful piece of work by a great director (Werner Herzog).
I think Treadwell is ultimately a study of a liberal mindset dooming someone. Treadwell put a Disney-fied Bambi face on wild nature. He saw himself as a heroic, unconventional underdog fighting to protect the bears, whom he saw as wonderful innocent creatures in a paradise-like nature oasis. He paid the ultimate price.

Darwin Ahkbar. Do not mess with a predator that can reasonably regard you as a meal.

It's kind of like "The Blair Witch Project", but with bears.

I haven't seen the movie, but from what I've heard about the guy, he was on a noble mission, but was too naive about the critters to survive.
I'm all for protecting bears...but I ain't nuts enough to think they'll accept me as one of their own. And I'm about the size of a small grizzly.

I think he convinced himself he was an expert. He might have been except for that one time.

We rented the DVD a couple weeks ago. We have spent a lot of time in the wilderness and frequently camp and hike where bears are present. That guy was a nutcase who violated many of the rules of the National Parks and many of the known ways to conduct yourself around wild animals, including bear. There are few things more enjoyable than watching a grizzly fish for salmon in Alaska.

I think he's, like, dead or something.
But then, I'm no doctor.

What's your take on Timothy Treadwell.

I thought I was watching "Queer Eye for the Grizzly Guy". He seemed as if he wanted to have nature conform to his ideas about it.
