Rescue Dawn. I can't wait to see that...looks great.
Correction by nietzschebot	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:48:16 PM
It's Timothy Treadwell, dude, not Timothy Truman. Although I would like to see Jim Carrey eaten by a Grizzly.
Thank you, nietzschebot by Uncapie	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:18:06 PM
It is Treadwell. I tried to get this out as quick as I could on a stomach full of Guiness so it was a small misprint on my behalf. A couple of Tim Treadwell's friends will be there too that were interviewed in the doco, so it should make for a interesting evening. Last night they screened, "Nosferatu" and though Mr. Herzog wasn't scheduled to appear, he did anyway and gave an impromtu talk about the making of his film. Some fascinating info. He had a crew of 16 people and the movie was shot in several locations including Mexico for the opening mummy sequence for $3 million dollars. He talked about how true horror movies should come from the feeling one has inside themselves, rather than the blood and guts in-your-face images that we see today. He talked about had they had to purcahse all these rats for the plague sequence and had them dipped in hair dye(!!!!) to give them the proper look. He was also the "Rat Wrangler" as well because of their limited budget. Great stuff! It was a full house and Mr. Herzog is an amazing orator, so if anyone wants to meet the great man, get there early as they expect to have a sold out show.

Couldn't enjoy AGUIRRE, WRATH OF GOD by Daddylonghead	Mar 23rd, 2007 03:07:13 PM
The whole time they were stuck on the river I kept thinking WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST FLY THE EAGLE!!!!
Herzog is a god among men. by Harry Weinstein	Mar 23rd, 2007 04:26:12 PM
Seriously, if you're within 200 miles of this event, BE THERE. The man is an utter badass (as you'd have to be to survive that many films with the great but totally batshit insane Klaus Kinski), and infinitely quotable. "It was not a significant bullet."
cool by kwisatzhaderach	Mar 23rd, 2007 04:44:54 PM
thanks for posting the culture show kermode piece...been trying to find that on youtube forever!
Aguirre=Awesome by theoneofblood	Mar 23rd, 2007 07:34:29 PM
Just a fantastic film. Herzog is an utterly insane genius. I love how early on he was able to make movies only because he STOLE a 35mm camera from his film school. Plus his accent is really cool.
I love Herzog's work, but... by OfficiousG	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:51:47 PM
if anybody shot at his balls, it's because Herzog hired them to do it.
Argh! Does anyone have an extra Saturday ticket? by DarthCorleone	Mar 23rd, 2007 10:43:43 PM
I waited too long, and it's already sold out. I really want to see Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo, plus I probably can't go Sunday. Please? Email RaistlinBrown@gmail.com if so. Thanks.
ecstatic truth by AllieJamison	Mar 24th, 2007 06:40:15 AM
the lack of Herzog in germany is disturbing. the only possibility remaining is to read books like HERZOG ON HERZOG by paul cronin. (great wonderful interview book) i love how noah segan on the BRICK commentary track says that he thought god sounded like Werner Herzog. I can only agree with him. Aahh...wish I could be there and experience the spirit of Herzog live... he's such a great inspiration for me. especially his relationship with america and his great views on documentary filmmaking, fact and ecstatic truth...wow. I hope someone will report something from this event.
ALL HAIL WRATH OF GOD!!! by Sithlord_999	Mar 25th, 2007 03:32:13 AM
It's not a movie- it's an experience- Hypnotic, powerful, transcendent- HERZOG is a genius- his craft makes most Hollywood directors look not quite like mere retarded children, but more like innocent puppies who cannot and will never grasp the craft of true, pure filmmaking.
Must add to the Herzog love by BannedOnTheRun	Mar 25th, 2007 04:42:39 AM
I'm down with the 'zog.
