movie madness

Werner Herzog, a German movie producer showed his movie Rescue Dawn to the second audience ever in the world while in McMurdo’s galley at the beginning of the season. The movie was also shown at the Toronto Film Festival. Mr. Herzog was in Antarctica with us, working on his first documentary since Grizzly Man in October and November. With a truly fascinating character, we are all anxious to see what Herzog's two man crew (including himself) down here, in Antarctica, will do with our lives and times here in McMurdo! Look for me in the Thanksgiving dinner footage.

I recently watch another movie The Incident at Loch Ness, featuring Herzog himself. After watching and briefly speaking with this director and producer, I laughed over this documentary/farce of a drama as the characters search for “Nessy.” Many of Herzog’s indosyncracies came to light in the movie that he illustrated in person when he was on The Ice.
