Grizzly Maze

I watched "Grizzly Man" on Saturday night, it was a hair-raising movie. Lots of interesting footage of bears lumbering around looking like disgraced television wrestlers scrounging for a bite to eat. They remind me of gorillas. I'd recommend it to anyone, director Werner Herzog (in black and white promo photo) always delivers the goods, but it did not make me like bears.

I have had recurring bad dreams about bears for years, I just had one last week. After seeing this film I am convinced that, although many forms of death are equally bad, there is nothing worse than being eaten alive by a bear.

I was glad that the audio recording of wildlife preservationist Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend being mauled to death wasn't played in the movie, and I was glad that Werner Herzog's face was turned away from the camera as he listened to it on headphones.

There is also a lot of entertaining footage of foxes in the film. Like dogs, foxes are also man's best friend, and they seem to provide much more reasonable companionship.
