Grizzly Man

I know -- I'm a bit late to the show. But there's no fucking way this guy was up for ANY role on Cheers. I think that claim was right up there with his claim to be Australian and his claim to be protecting the bears

Everything about Timothy Treadwell was false, including his name. He was Timothy Dexter of Lawn Guyland. He wasn't Australian or a Californian. He wasn't protecting bears; he was harassing them. His Grizzly People "Foundation " was nothing more than a vacation fund to pay for summers filming himself in Alaska. He wasn't a naturalist, he wasn't an ecologist. He wasn't an actor. He was a failed reality show wannabe. People feel sorry for his supposed girlfriend, but I don't. You deserve to be eaten by a bear if you follow your idiotic, bear-pestering "boyfriend" into a bear maze when you are afraid of bears.
He even tasted a little off!

He committed suicide by bear. He purposefully put his tent right where bears would be walking so a confrontational one would discover him and finish him and his girlfriend off. I watched the documentary Herzog made of his life. They mentioned part of the attack was filmed. I wish it was leaked onto the internet.
Even his heterosexuality was a put-on. He was as gay as a goose--the "girlfriends" were just faghags.
Don't know why you're so cynical about the Cheers casting, OP. His loss was Shelley Long's gain.
I think there was a sound recording of the attack, but no video. Herzog, the old drama queen, moaned in dramatic tones how awful it was (he listened to it) and that it was too awful to include in the movie.
I remember that the audio was played in the movie.

R7, the filmed Herzog listening to it with headphones while Timothy's friend sat nearby. She inherited a lot of his stuff, including the tapes, but Herzog advised her to destroy the tapes 'cause it was just too awful. Don't know if she did.
That coroner was one hell of a drama queen

I've never in my life met a straight man who talked, dressed and coiffed himself like that. What kind of woman would seriously pursue him? Notice there's almost nothing known about the girlfriend. No parents or siblings or coworkers comment on her. It seems like she was already half dead
Herzog's "Incident at Loch Ness" won the New American Cinema Award at the Seattle Film Festival in 2004. It was presented as a straight documentary, but without photogenic proof of the Loch Ness monster, nobody took it seriously. "Grizzly Man" premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. It has been broadcast on The Discovery Channel and Animal Planet. With delightful high-definition photographs of grizzly bears roaming the Alaskan wilderness, we enthrall to the story of the fey naturalist with a love of bears who gets eaten by one. Is it a coincidence that we have no photographs of the last supper?

IMDB lists "Timothy Dexter" as the birth name of Timothy Treadwell, who is credited as part of the Camera and Electrical Department for "Grizzly Man." The DVD release omits a clip from David Letterman's show, when Treadwell was promoting his "Grizzly People" non-profit and Dave joked that he would be eaten by a bear.

Great documentary and scary at the same time.
I considered him to be mentally ill. I think bears for the most part just want to eat and be left alone. If they see you they will pretty much ignore you but he had to have bear "friends" He did pick a terrible place to camp and broke the rules he had talked about earlier. There was a very old slightly sick bear hanging around and those are the types that will eat anything, even people because they can't get food any other way. I think he should have received a Darwin Award for dying before he reproduced, his gf too. I did like his fox friends though I hate to admit it.

r4 That Jewel chick from the movie was way too proud about being his (ex-) "girlfriend". She was trying hard to be noble when talking about Amy (the dead girlfriend), but you just know she was jealous of her. I think she trolls the Imdb board (as "bearpeople") constantly defending Timothy.

I don't blame him for wanting to run away from society. Didn't he describe some humilitating job where he had to wear a uniform or something. Yeah, he was a bit nutty, but I don't blame him for wanting something different.
[quote]People feel sorry for his supposed girlfriend, but I don't. You deserve to be eaten by a bear if you follow your idiotic, bear-pestering "boyfriend" into a bear maze when you are afraid of bears. The craziest thing about that is that she was literally "out of the woods". She and Tim were at the airport on their way out of Alaska. Tim screwed up the airline reservations and got into an argument with an "obese" employee. He then threw a hissy-fit and decided to return to the dangerous forest area to spend one more night with the bears, instead of waiting at the airport overnight for the next plane. Of course, the dumb girlfriend went back with him.

Having a stupid boyfriend has been the death of many a woman.

It was a disturbing documentary, because he treated the bears like they were his kids. As the previous poster said, never get close to a sick Bear, because he will eat you alive.

Werner Herzog looks thrilled to be with Jewel Ex-GF
I think Treadwell used a lot of that Grizzly People Foundation money for lots of plastic surgery. If you look at pictures of him through the years, he had work done. He even had a dimple put in his chin.
