Grizzly Man

By the way, anyone see Step Into Liquid and Riding Giants? Stupendous docs that just make you feel exhilerated. I now wanna be a surfer! (OK, maybe just body surfer.)

I admittedly did not see the headphone scene. It may indeed be enough to convey the essence for many of us. There still must be a difference from hearing the tape yourself. I guess it would be like watching someone listen to music with headphones.

If you like Herzog's documentary work you should see the doc he produced of the making of his film, 'Fitzcarraldo'...seeing the footage of a paddle-wheeler being hauled over a mountain was pretty overwhelming.

"Every spring here in the Sonoran desert [AZ], some yahoo thinks that he's the "Crock Hunter" and ends up getting bitten while trying to handle a rattlesnake! The rattlers come out after a winter's hibernation...so do the two-legged idiots! Sometimes, they are even running a camcorder, documenting their stupidity!"

You don't suppose they're trying out for "America's Funniest Home Videos," do you?

A friend of mine told me that someone in Africa was inspired by the likes of Jane Goodall and the other woman who lived with primates, except that this person thought he'd try it with LIONS. He was smart enough to have had a vehicle nearby, and is said to have beaten a "hasty retreat" at least once. Unreal.
