Catfish's Cone of Silence

Don’t read about it. Don’t even think about it. Talk about it, God forbid, and you’re the biggest asshole on the planet.

Sorry, the marketing campaign for the film “Catfish” is pissing us off. We just got this press release for a Cinefamily screening next month:

The filmmakers of Catfish — the most buzzed about film at Sundance this year — urge you not to say what the film’s about, and we agree. In fact, we urge you to resist Googling it, resist looking it up on Yahoo — don’t even ask Jeeves! Catfish is a film that people can ruin for you, either by “spoilers,” or more importantly, the strength of their opinions — part of the fun of the film is putting together your own point of view.
