a question about the "Knocking" director
by MegaDude ini get email announcing new dates for the film "knocking" which i haven't seen but understand is a positive portrayal of what jehovah's witnesses are all about.. the official email states it was directed by joel p. engardio.. i researched this man on google and it seems very likely that he is gay, which has been discussed on this board before.
i understand his mother is a jw.. now, why would a gay man make a positive film about a gay-hating religion?
mother issues anybody?

Film: Grizzly Man
by MegaDude inwhat a whacked out character timothy treadwell was.. this documentary and story, told mostly through treadwell's own video, is about a man who wanted to be a friend of grizzly bears and perhaps maybe be a grizzly bear.
he took off for alaska where for long stretches of time he would "commune" with these huge killer bears and film them.
he seemed to think he had nothing to fear because he was operating at a higher level of spirituality and that the bears sensed it.

Diving with the squid
by MegaDude insimple sally's shark post reminded of another deadly creature in the ocean, the big and ferocious humboldt squid.
these creatures are intelligent, strong, aggressive and can easily overwhelm a diver who is unprepared.
they will attack sharks and sea creatures much larger than themselves.
