GWCGWC 83 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Grizzly Man. NF 3 star. I think I remember some posters here recommending this documentary. I enjoy a lot of documentaries and this one was just mildly interesting. The producer should have played the audio of him and his girlfriend being eaten. The documentary would have been much more powerful and it would have driven home the reality that this dude was eaten alive by the thing he claimed to love the most. Then again, I'm kind of glad they didn't since I would have found it pretty disturbing. On deck: Bolt and The Watchmen Link to post Share on other sites

frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Grizzly Man. NF 3 star. I think I remember some posters here recommending this documentary.I'm one of those people! Grizzly Man felt like art to me--like the film became about more than the subject matter. I remember feeling really uncomfortable when I saw it for the first time--first, because of how close Treadwell got to the bears. There's something visceral about watching that footage, knowing that everything on the screen is real. That's a real bear, and that's a real guy, with a sketchy hold on reality, feeling like he has a kinship with a wild animal.Watching Treadwell's hold on reality made me feel uncomfortable too, particularly the scene where he's directly addressing his former boss. To me, it was watching someone have a mental breakdown. It felt vulnerable and intimate, as though I shouldn't have been watching these moments. (Also, this has some of my favorite of Herzog's voiceover, "And here we see Timothy, crossing a line we will not cross. I have seen this kind of madness before, usually on a film set..." Shit. If that's not the funniest thing ever, I don't know what is. All I want from this day on, is Herzog narrating my life.)I also loved the scenery. I saw this in the theater, and in the scene in the airplane, with the pilot talking about Timothy, and then singing along--I felt like I was floating. Gorgeous. The relationships between Treadwell and his friends and exgirlfriends reminded me of the book Into the Wild. Treadwell was a weird guy who made odd choices, but he went up into interior Alaska, and surrounded himself with other people who had made odd choices, so he didn't really stand out until the very end.An aside--another documentary I loved was Man on Wire. It won the Oscar last year, and is fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I just watched Wolverine Origin. Thankfully I paid nothing for this confusing piece of shit. For all the money they spend on special effects, can't they spend like a week longer writing the script and have a plot that at least makes sense? Link to post Share on other sites

The dialog could have been directly copied from comic book speech bubbles, which is awesome. The special effects were amazing. The story was about a bad ass comic book anti-hero.

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'm watching face/off. I have such a ridiculous soft spot for this movie. I think Travolta's best acting performance pretty much ever is after the face/off, when he's doing a nick cage impression. It cracks me up. And the action scenes are suburb..See, this is the sort of bad action movie I like... over the top absurdity. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I love the cheesy action movies also. Face/Off is awesome.Also enjoy The Rock and True Lies. All the Die Hard movies. There are a ton of them that are great.Broken Arrow also came to mind. Travolta is a great villain. He was also really good in Swordfish. Link to post Share on other sites
