On a day when Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin was killed, I figured it would be appropriate to evaulate the documentary The Grizzly Man. A tragic comedy it is. Basically, this guy (I forgot his name) lived with grizzly bears up in Alaska for something like 11 or 12 years (over the course of each summer). The guy had names for them (Mr. Chocolate, for instance) and was convinced that he and the bears could co-exist with each other. How he did for such a long period of time, I don't know? The man who flew the helicopter to retrieve his body said it was because the bears were confused as to why he was living with them and "thought he was retarded." The documentary is set-up pretty good, with the Grizzly Man's video running parallel along reflections from everyone who dropped off supples to him to the coroner who had to cut the bear open to pull the Grizzly Man and his girl friend's bodies out.

Submitted by OlyCop on Wed, 09/06/2006 - 5:28am.Yeah, the Grizzly man had said he would never do anything to harm the Grizzlys, and made reference to a perverted desire to be eaten by his Northern friends. I wonder if he changed his mind about that part when we was being eaten?
Too bad about Irwin he did put on a good show, and it sucks for his kids.
