Overheard at Troma's Toxic Avenger 21st Birthday Party Last Night
"No, the girls attack him, then make out. The zombies."
- Lloyd Kaufman, founder of Troma and director of Zombie Girls Gone Wild, which he shot at the party.
It's been almost 2 1/2 years since I worked at Troma, and although I badmouth my time there to anyone who will listen, the fact is that the people who work there are a fun bunch (or at least they are when they're out of the office, getting drunk and stoned). And Lloyd really is a genius... he manages to maintain an unlimited supply of naive women (er, girls) who are more than willing to make out with each other and take off their clothes for the sake of "art," all believing that so long as they sign a release form, their name will be listed in the credits of a "major motion picture." It still boggles my mind that the company could last 30 days, let alone 30 years, but at this point I'll simply give credit where credit is due and wish Toxie a very happy birthday.
