Gruesome "Grizzly Man"
"The bears only left him alive so long prob'ly 'cause they thought that there wasn't somepin' right wi' him...like he was mentally retarded or somepin'"
-Quote from a park ranger
For a big gulp of bizzareness, watch Grizzly Man. It's about a guy so obsessed with grizzly bears that he begins to think that he's a bear, too, realizing his mistake only when he gets munched. Eeek. You don't see that--thank goodness! But the director tells the story of Timothy Treadwell through the footage that Timothy took while he was out in the wild, and through interviews with his odd, hippy friends (and a creepy smiling coroner). It sounds like a grim story, but Timothy's egocentric but dynamic personality draws you into the story, and there are very funny (albeit dark) moments of humor in it. It ends with a helicopter pilot singing along with a song "Coyotes," the chorus of which is "PoooYip, pooYip, poooo, pududooYip, poooYip poooo."
