and finally, they ate him.

Reg and I watched Grizzly Man last night, Herzog's documentary about the life and death of Timmy Treadwell, the man who spent 13 summers with grizzlies on Kodiak Island. I kept thinking he looked like Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber, and kinda acted like him too. Although while Harry acted nuts b/c of stupidity, Timmy acted nuts because of brain chemistry problems. There were some pretty obvious clues referred to by his friends, and in several of the takes he's clearly feeling manic (and depressed in some). Anyway it got me feeling a bit maudlin and anxious, not least because they talk in a semi-gruesome way about the death itself. O well, we have The Great Gatsby and more Jeeves and Wooster on the queue.
