The subduction of the thigh, the hairy boobs, the waist movement, the way the fabric ,or wtvr, folds underneath the right thigh. The diaper butt. None of this stuff looks like an animal to me. It all looks like a suit.
What Kinda of suit.
1 Body piece suit 2 piece body suit? seriously which way is it that you see it?

Re: the Patterson Gimlin film: the only LEGIT Bigfoot film?
I agree Stankape, but when you make claims regarding certainty and scepticism and the scientific method - as I do - then you have to be consistent and apply those things to your own opinion.
Unless you are a qualified primatologist with years of experience and have worked with a team of relevant experts researching the subject, then your estimate makes no sense.
In the same way that we have to evaluate how many bigfoot sightings can be considered credible - ruling out conformation bias and mispercption - we have to do the the same when it comes to sceptisim.
A true sceptic (and I don't mean this in the sense of a 'no true Scotsman') should be scptical about their scepticism.

That being said ,unless somebody bags a squatch (and it matches patty) or comes up with the suit. This entire debate is kinda moot as there is probably no resolution to be had.
that being said, i was kinda wasted when i posted that last night. i tend to err on the side of hyperbole when I've been out for rounds with the boys!
i should probably lock my computer up when I leave the house sometimes............
And now the excuse of being drunk and online and posting
Really ??

Stankape,
I've probably been playing too much of the devil's advocate, but I fully understand where you are coming from.
If we were discussing Nessie I could see myself taking a similar position.
All I'm really trying to say is that if you are a secptic, then the default position means neither believing nor disbelieving. If frustration gets the better of you (I'm thinking of M K Davis) I think it's best to bite your lip and concentrate on how we can falsify any evidence that comes forward....that is after all the scientific method.

But, seriously, you must admit you sound awfuly eager to rationalize every silly bit of video or evidence that comes along as "possible". anything is possible to an extent, that doesn't mean we should all be waiting around for it to happen...
Your jumping to conclusions that I have not made or put forth.
I have not jumped at every bit of video or Picture. As far as Rationalizing we all do that. Since Rationlizing means to make it real in what it could or couldn't be.

Re: the Patterson Gimlin film: the only LEGIT Bigfoot film?
Yes, Stankape, that clarifies things (to a degree).
Your overall position on BF makes sense, but I can't share your view of PGF (despite my scepticism) without supporting evidence.
Maybe you could PM me with details of how to access the footage you are talking about? I've got nothing to lose and don't mind treading on a few toes.

Re: the Patterson Gimlin film: the only LEGIT Bigfoot film?
Scientists that reviewed a film by patterson back in the 60s have said the film they were shown is different to the one now known as the PGF.
Hoax.
Hoax.

I will admit I do not know the who history of this footage but this is curious to me. The original film that was studied is different than the film studied today? What was the conclusion of the original study? When did the version of the film switch? How is it different?

Re: the Patterson Gimlin film: the only LEGIT Bigfoot film?
the original is missing I think. And most of the tapes today are copies of copies. But it doesnt matter.
We have guys here saying "its a guy in a suit" then they have no real evidence to back it up other than to be contrary.
NOW we have a guy, who JUST passed a Lie detector test, ADMINISTERED by a recognized EXPERT, who says the thing going
through my mind right before he pulled the trigger killing a REAL bigfoot, was "That it LOOKS LIKE A GUY IN A SUIT"
So if we allow that Justin is telling the truth then the argument that the PGF was "A GUY IN A SUIT" is not valid.
Not only that, but we have a recognized FILM expert who says the technology wasnt available to make THAT GOOD of a costume
in the late 60's. THEN we have the Planet of the APES a high budget HOLLYWOOD film with laughable monkey suits and masks
that was produced for our conversation in the SAME time period, showing at least to me, that HOLLYWOOD INDEED did NOT have
the technology to make a suit of that quality. ON TOP OF THAT, we have a guy recently who is another expert in costumes MAKE
a suit to PROVE PGF was a fake FAIL Miserably in this century. HIS suit did not have NEARLY the quality that Patty had in movement
and naturalness only further showing making a costume in that day in age was likely IMPOSSIBLE.
The copy of a copy is just a distraction from the fact that no one has come forward with anything like what Patty was in the late 60's.
No one has MADE a costume of that quality EVEN TODAY 45 years later. Then a guy who says he Killed a BigFoot NEAR the area Patty
was seen years ago, who PASSES a lie detector test with a criminal pathology artist drawing what Justin Saw that afternoon that LOOKs
not only like Patty but could be a relative of the creature.
So you can come here and say that you dont believe the PGF is real, and that you dont like the circumstances of the making of the film,
but the proof is more in favor that it IS real than it isnt. What I have done here is lay out an argument on why it COULD be real.
There hasnt been ONE GOOD argument that it is NOT. All we have is people coming in here and name calling if you think its real or
if you even believe in God. Well that stuff is just poorly presented.
So Pinkerton use your own mind and common sense on the PGF film and dont be distracted by arguments that deter you from that basic
path of thinking.

Re: the Patterson Gimlin film: the only LEGIT Bigfoot film?
I watching-again-the NG special on Bigfoot last night-I think it was called Paranormal and it focused on the P/G footage. Bill Munns was at Ms. Patterson's home with the first copy of the original because all others just are blurry and are copies of copies. There was no mention of the original but I do remember seeing a special a few years ago that had the original. This copy was able to show all the muscle movement in its back, back legs, butt, lower back, and a few others. Anyone want to elaborate further on that special and what you think of it?

That would depend ...if that primatologist is a legitimate expert on the subject [and we're talking Bigfoot here] ...and there should be a consensus among legitimate experts in the subject matter that is under discussion.
So-called Bigfoot experts shouldn't be biased or prejudiced; it weakens their arguments.
Belief and inquiry is good though, it can lead to a body of evidence, your field evidence. Evidence that isn't pre-fit to fit one's conclusions. The Skookum cast and midtarsal break comes to mind.
The scientific community is convinced by evidence, not by authority; evidence counts more than authority.

Everybody would like to know of this special that had a copy of the original. Are you thinking MK Davis stuff?

Re: the Patterson Gimlin film: the only LEGIT Bigfoot film?
Huckster, are you talking about the guy who wore the suit? Supposedly? the suit he displayed goes back to what I said before.
It looks like a poor imitation. I mean a REAL poor imitation. Given that the suit he poses with looks NOTHING like what patty did,
you can see her lips move, and the mask he has goes back to my point about Planet of the Apes. The mask he had was just crude
compared to even the laughable Planet of the Apes movie.
He doesnt seem credible. I dont know the specifics of it like I know the specifics of the Smeja's story.
So what I think is you have a little fat guy with a piss poor imitation suit (by the way I have a friend who has a suit
JUST like that in Bobs photo with the BF feet shoes and it looks HORRIBLY fake when he walks and NOTHING like Patty)
who really isnt of the same quality. Over all just a very poor example when comparing to the PGF. If you want to base
your belief on that kind of evidence go ahead. I dont buy it at all. I think Bob is a Huckster.

And look that conflicts with the supposed person who wore the suit.
Seriously I love how the people who believe it was a Hoax make up as many excuses as people who believe in it.
As I said earlier, all of the details of how the suit was made and the specifics of it's construction are material for the documentary. I can tell you now the suit has three main parts: head, torso, legs.

You seem to get all cranky about the modification part; why Heironimus describes a different three part suit. That's fine, you don't have to believe it. We just have a case of some crazy guy riding around Yakima in 1967 with a bigfoot suit in his mother's car trunk, that's all.

But in the big foot forums the man who says he has the suit or knows about the suit describes the body part as a 1 piece while the man who took a lie detector test named Heironimus described the body part as a 2 piece upper and lower then feet, hands and head. Seems the people who call it a costume can not get their story together.
And how come we can't see pictures of this supposed costume more stories just like people accuse footers of creating.

Even if you prove that bob heironimous wasnt in the suit, you do know that does not therefore prove the PGF is real? You do know that right?
