I enjoyed it. The dude was like a real life version of Dale Gribble from King of the Hill so it was fun to get to hear his deranged ranting on the tapes followed by the director cutting to the guy he was talking about who said "I... don't remember ever really having a conversation with Marvin."

Yes.

SA didn't come up with the name, we just appropriated it for the real-life spiritual successor of that movie.

Of course I'm sure Netflix could have bought the Killdozer name off of whoever holds it now if they wanted to, I doubt it's particularly in demand.

Here's my fun Killdozer story: years ago when I worked in a gallery in Colorado a young lady came in one day and I struck up a conversation with her, as was my job. Turns out she was from Granby, and I, being an ever-so-charming goon, immediately said "oh wow were you there for Killdozer?" Smooth, right? Really professional, young BFM.

As it turned out yes, she was there for that event, and her family knew Marvin Heemeyer, and she was really profoundly sad that I had referred to him by that name, it was like I had kicked her dog or something. She talked to me for 20 incredibly awkward minutes about how sad his story really was, how she still felt really bad for him, that the town didn't deserve being known just for one mentally unstable person's drawn-out disastrous suicide and she was tired of people thinking it was funny or cool in any way because it wasn't. She left, deflated and sad, and I still to this day feel like a total prick for ruining her nice Saturday afternoon looking at paintings by being crass about a local tragedy. True story!

There was a thread probably 15 years ago where a goon from there made a little rc killdozer replica. I don't really remember the point of the thread, but it may have been like he was trying to do some sort of respectful tribute on an anniversary. I definitely remember he said that it was basically that town's 9/11 and everyone knows where they were when it was going down and talking about it is a type of trauma. He said he had to be really careful filming footage with that replica, since it'd likely really upset anyone he came across.

You may think it's incredibly ghoulish and evil to hold up a proto magachud attempting to commit mass murder over perceived aggreivances as some kind of folk hero but I'll have you know that he was mildly inconvenienced by the fact that he wasn't allowed to just dump sewage on the ground so really who can say.

the dude was a landowner and a small business owner who was more well off than like 95% of the people in this country who was just furious at the thought that he might have to get a job and live in an apartment like the rest of the proles, the fact that his years of impotent sputtering into a tape recorder about how he was going to rain vengeance on the planet because people wouldn't let him dump his turds and pee into an open ditch culminated in the only death being his own is something to be thankful for but does not in any way lessen what a stupid and evil man he was

this is pretty much all correct. in a way it's sort of the like anti-mcdonalds hot coffee lawsuit of internet heard-down-the-grapevine tale whose story blew up becoming a projection of an exculpatory narrative; whereas she was in the right and perceived wrong and hes in the wrong but perceived right because it makes for a funnier story.

It's a pro-watch because the shittiness/pettiness of this guy outweighes the awesomeness of the killdozer and that's quite an achievement.
