I watched 'A Perfect Storm' for the sheer fact that alot of my family used
to do deep sea fishing. Lost a grandfather to a car ship, a cousin to the
waters of Alaska, an uncle to the pacific.

My dad told me that if I ever got into the job of deep sea fishing...he'd
disown me, than kick the living daylights out of me.  I never got into deep
sea fishing.  Used to hear stories about storms etc on the water.  Never
really saw it till I watched that movie.
