The End (1953 film)[edit]
- ... that at the premiere of The End, audience members shouted at the film and threw their chairs? "Anyway, this night [when The End screened] there was a riot also. Chairs were thrown, and people screamed and carried on; they walked out, came back, and screamed some more: 'Boo!' and 'Take it off the screen!' I just sat there. I remember chairs began disappearing on all sides of me."

New enough; long enough (~6,000 characters total, ~3000 characters of readable prose text [not including markup]); within policy (neutral, well-cited, free of plagiarism); hook is correctly formatted; hook is cited (with the full quote provided here from an offline book source); interesting to a broad audience (it's provocative and gives just enough info to intrigue a casual reader); QPQ completed. Good job!
- Incidentally, I googled part of that quote and came across an SF Weekly story about a 2010 series of screenings at BAMPFA, titled "Alternative Film and Video in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1945–2000", which included The End. I feel like that could merit inclusion in the article, but just a suggestion—you may have come across this bit already yourself. —BLZ · talk 22:08, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
