Could they be prepping us for...GASP!!!.....A Grizzly Man Special Edition DVD?

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Just checked the Discovery website and it says that this show will replayed as follows:

Great. Thanks for the information. I missed it when it aired on Discovery and would look to see the excised footage as well as the doc.

No such footage exists or ever has existed. Are you referring to the audio?

Herzog said he never had any intention to include the audio of the killing. He said he didn't want to make a snuff film. I'm glad he didn't While there is a bit of morbid curiousity, I'm sure it would have left me feeling awful. Treadwell was kinda wackos though.

maybe im the only one, but i pretty much hated the movie and what this guy stood for.......

he claimed to be some kind of naturalist who cared about the bears. any true naturalist wouldnt have interfered or made his presence so readily known to any grizzly bears. not only is it dangerous for him (obviously), but its dangerous for the bears as it conditions them to human contact. there is a show on MTV called the Wild Boys, it also has dumb crazy people doung dumb things with animals........

But are you confusing the subject with the movie? I hate Hitler, but that doesn't mean I'm going to hate any movie a well done documentary done about him. Herzog points out many of the contradictions in this guy's life, the foolish decisions he made and how he recklessly endangered someone else's life.

I don't know why so many people think Herzog was glorifying Treadwell. If you were halfway paying attention, it was very obvious it wasn't the case.

Most of the negative reviews of Grizzly Man are due the fact that they (the reviewers) liked or didn't like Treadwell. What's amazing, though, is that you see both sides. Some people say they hate the movie because it made Treadwell look bad and others say because it glorified him. Just the idea that people can go into the same movie and come out with polar opposite opinions of the intentions behind the film is fascinating.

Can anyone confirm this? I'm not seeing that at all.

I don't think the film was made to glorify what he did. Even at the very begining Herzog said that where Treadwell was playing around was federally protected land so it made no sense for him to claiming to be "protecting" the animals. Even so of the interviewees said the guy was an idiot and got what was coming to him. Just an interesting tale, I guess.

If it seems like the interview subjects are acting: Keep in mind that they have probably been asked the questions many many times before. The coroner...on the other hand...well he really must have been enjoying his 15 min of fame.


By the way, as to the audio, after I saw the film last summer, I searched on Rottentomatoes.com reviews, and read some of the negative ones. Some claim that there are people who listened to the tape, and in fact Treadwell doesn't tell his girlfriend to run, but rather to stay and try and help him. Don't really know the veracity of these claims.

Anchorage Daily News
Although the article also says:
So from the way the article relates it, it sounds like Treadwell first tried to get Amie to leave, but when she stayed he suggested methods of attack.

No it doesn't. "Get out here" is not the same as "get out of here". In fact, it's quite the opposite.

I heard from my father (who happens to be a bear hunter living in Alaska) that she was in the tent asleep when the attack happened.

So "Get out here" sounds like it may be right.

You're right, I misread it.

Nope. Complete bullshit. Thanks for getting my hopes up though. :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

Just caught this on the dvr the other night from Discovery Channel and it showed the letterman scene. Maybe he only asked it be removed from the dvd. :shrug:

Anyway, still have about 30 mins to watch, but thought it was an interesting look into the human mind and what seclusion and living with/wanting to be a bear will do to the human mind.
