Film: Grizzly Man
by MegaDude inwhat a whacked out character timothy treadwell was.. this documentary and story, told mostly through treadwell's own video, is about a man who wanted to be a friend of grizzly bears and perhaps maybe be a grizzly bear.
he took off for alaska where for long stretches of time he would "commune" with these huge killer bears and film them.
he seemed to think he had nothing to fear because he was operating at a higher level of spirituality and that the bears sensed it.

I really enjoyed "Polar Girl." Although the story was weak, the cinematography was excellent. I felt the film was fair to the girl's view and the bear's view and let the viewer decide.

Yes, a very interesting story.
If you liked "Grizzly Man" you might like the book "Into the Wild." It is the true story of a young man from a well-to-do upper middle class family who set out to find himself. He disappeared into the Alaskan wilderness with 50 pound bag of rice and a rifle to live off the land. He never made it back because he lost too much weight, was slowly starving and weak, and then apparently ate some seeds that were poisonous thus crippling his chances of making it out of the forest alive. Before he died, he took pictures of himself waving goodbye, smiling, holding his goodbye letter in his hand. His story reminded me of Treadwell's. You should never underestimate Mother Nature.
Jon Krakauer's excellent magazine version of the story is here:

Hey Mega! Went great. I am so proud of Joy! She rode 100 miles the first day. She is not used to the hills here in the Pacific NW, but she made her way to the top of every one of them! We finally rolled across the finish line Sunday at about 5:30 after two long days of riding.
You women are phenomenal. A 200 mile bike ride!
Did Steve meet you every 20 miles with a fresh Starbucks? lol.
congrats, ladies, on your accomplishment.
