Trash Film Orgy is big enough to attract some assholes. The fratboy type. Fratboys work so hard at looking mallternative these days, so they blend in a bit, but they reveal themselves when they fling beer bottles at movie screens in beautiful vintage theatres. The kind of theatres that you should feel damn lucky to get to watch Hong Kong trash films in. The audience did a univeral low groan and I think the bottle thrower got the hint real quick that this was most uncool. I am confident that the audience policing itself this way will keep things cool for a while. It's a sad cycle though. You created something cool and you get a fun audience built up and you have a good time. Word gets out and more and more people come have fun. Eventualy you hit critical mass and you the assholes come. The lame fucks that are never there in the early days because they don't do something that hasn't been branded cool. They show up, and the fun is gone. Your creation either becomes some lame sold out version of what it used to be getting uglier and uglier or you say, well screw it that was a fun run and then you shut it down.
Like I said, I think the TFO has quite a few qood years to go, but it sucks that you always know the moronic masses are out there lurking waiting to ruin your thing.
