(TV) OT: Grizzly Man and its' soundtrack

[Russ Van Rooy <russvr@pop.nwnexus.com>]

Dear Televisionarians,
I saw the most amazing documentary last night, "Grizzly Man" directed by Werner Herzog, about the "peaceful eco-warrior", lover of Alaskan brown bears, Timothy Treadwell. This is the fellow who spent 13 summers at Katmai National Park in Alaska filming brown bears ( he calls 'em grizzlys), and who was finally eaten by one of them (along with his girlfriend) . Its an outrageously funny and touching film - and whatever you think about Treadwell and his fate, this movie has a deeply spiritual feel. Also, of fantastic note, the soundtrack is Richard Thompson, who plays some exquisite and deeply felt guitar . Somehow, it left me feeling that the perfect guitar trio would consist of Thompson, Bill Frisell, and Tom Verlaine. Anyway, go see this movie if it plays near you or get the dvd whenever it comes out. You will never look at bears the same way.

- Russ
