Hoe! Lee! Shit! Not only is it not possible to do what this guy did, but it's not possible to want to do what he did. But he did it anyway. Winner of Best Documentary for 2018

Incredible film. Beautifully shot. *** light spoilery stuff below *** Nice and charming dude, but definitely one or two screws loose. How bad did that guy's parents fuck him up? The scenes where his climbing and camera buddies were struggling because they didn't want to be complicit in his death were so compelling.

I agree. Kind of incredible that they were able to get the shots they got. Strange guy - eats his food directly from a pan with a big-ass spatula.

Yeah, although saying that a guy who does this sort of stuff for fun is a bit of an odd duck seems kind of unnecessary. Mostly what he seems to be is totally emotion-less, but I suppose that trait is pretty much a prerequisite.
