David Letterman: Weāre not going to open a newspaper one day and read about you being eaten by a bear, are we?
Sam Egli (bush pilot): I think the only reason that Treadwell lasted as long in the game as he did, was that the bears probably thought there was something wrong with him, like he was mentally retarded or something.
American Murder: Gabby Petito might make a grisly third.

I read that the edit of Grizzly Man that aired on The Discovery Channel included the Letterman interview. What I saw on Kanopy did not (and I read that the DVD release also omitted that). I saw a clip on YouTube of Letterman asking him that question, though.
Ah. Letterman was at the top of the IMDB quotes section, found while looking up the pilot quote. 
Watched The Edge (written by Mamet with Hopkins and Baldwin) several times. 
Oh, yeah. I like Mametās stuff, too. Ronin is one of my favorites, even though he didnāt direct and was credited under a pseudonym.

John Muir & Teddy Roosevelt dominate the first two. They are good for what ails me.
Ninety minutes., B&W. May seem interminable if you donāt like Bobby D.
Or slice of life.
Iām not sure why YouTube suggested this to me, but it sorta seems to fit here:
Buffet. 
Godās proxy contriving another āconflict.ā Roach are my brother. 
Remember this scene from Men In Black?
Tommy Lee Jones was Al Goreās college roommate. Will Smith slaps brothers who insult his wife and never went to college. Welcome to the monkey house.
Kurt Vonnegutās brother was a genius level scientist. He loved his sister muchly and she died young and he was much distraught. He experienced fire bombing first hand on the ground in WWII. His son suffered from schizophrenia and wrote a book about it.
His daughter married Geraldo Rivera.
He got married and divorced a lot.
He may have had regrets.
I donāt know.
Have you ever read it? Itās excellent. I remember borrowing and reading it a long time ago and being impressed by how similar his writing style was to his fatherās. Years later, I bought a newer copy that had additional material in the updated edition (I think maybe an extra chapter) where he mentioned that his diagnosis these days would more likely be bipolar mania with psychosis (and I think thatās accurate, if memory serves). I donāt know if heās still in practice or not, but I recall reading that he became a pediatrician in the Boston area.
I did! I liked it and remember the tone of his psychotic breaks and that he was deficient in a B vitamin or maybe the whole complex and providing that plus generally better nutrition pulled him out of the spin.
Did I get it right?
His dad and uncle both worked at GE. His uncle won the Nobel Prize or something like that. His dad wrote Player Piano.
Thatās what I recall, yeah, that he was spending time in a commune on the west coast and mega-dosing vitamins as part of the treatment while trying to understand what was happening with his brain. Itās been a number of years since Iāve read the book (and I havenāt yet read any of his others), but I thought he was eventually stabilized with medication and then continued his education and became a physician after that.
I like a lot of the books his dad wrote. He was one of my literary heroes when I used to imagine myself with writing talent.
Imagine thereās an EMP and all our storage is cleared and paper docs too faded to read. All weād have is what we (mis)remember share and compare with each other ā not a wholly unpleasant new life. 
(Brother Vonnegut won the Nobel Prize for speculating convincingly that a sufficiently large EMP would fade to blank every book and paper document on earth. Look it up. 
)
I tried but didnāt find it. 
You need to stop putting your head in the Microwave oven.
Good effort. 
Aw, weād have fun sharing and comparing, doncha think?
We could build a boiler (you) find a boat (me & you) and sail to China (us) see what we can see. If they look weak, we can conquer them (you) and become emperor (me). Sound good? 
War in Reverse. Excerpt from Slaughterhouse Five by the late Kurt Vonnegut. From an audio reading by Vonnegut and video from Archive.org - mostly the Prelinger collection.
The World War II phase of the career of controversial American general George S. Patton. Co-written by Coppola (1970)
This is a very short film of poor frog under great electromagnetic stress (simulated) yet
ā¦I know but still somehow it is. Gallows humor.
