They used to tank cod from Alaska all the way to China. They’d keep them in vats in the ship. By the time the codfish reached China, the flesh was mush and tasteless. So this guy came up with the idea that if you put these cods in these big vats, put some catfish in with them and the catfish will keep the cod agile. And there are those people who are catfish in life. And they keep you on your toes. They keep you guessing, they keep you thinking, they keep you fresh. And I thank god for the catfish because we would be droll, boring and dull if we didn’t have somebody nipping at our fin.

We just got done watching the movie “Catfish.” I can’t say anything about it because it would ruin it for you, but I can say that you should definitely watch it.

Big blockbuster movies are always exciting, but I’ve never seen anything that was as genuine as this film. It felt really real (probably because it is). It’s not often that I feel really truly connected to the story and characters in a movie. This almost never happens, actually. So this movie was kind of a breath of fresh air.

It really felt like I knew these guys making this movie, and it was awesome.
