"Troubled Water

Diving into the myths of the Gowanus Canal

CATFISH WITH THREE EYES lived in the Gowanus Canal. I can say this with confidence because I have seen the evidence.

The catfish was shiny and pitch-dark. After a fisherman hooked it and reeled it out of the brackish water, it lay splatted on the Brooklyn sidewalk next to what appeared to be a discarded slice of pizza. This scene was captured on video and sent to a local news site from an anonymous aol.com email address."

The 1990 Total Recall is one of my favorite movies, and I didn't know David Cronenberg was the original director for it and created the character of Kuato and all the mutants (although it makes perfect sense). The puppet itself was created by Rob Bottin.
