You know, an enterprising and entreprenurial mind could probably take lemons and turn them into lemonade by starting up the "Artsy Fartsy Theater" shown late on Saturday nights. In it would be shown artsy films with off-the-wall commentary by the film audience, like with that sci-fi series making fun of B movies. Can't remember what it's called, but it was pretty darned funny.
This concept could actually be fun...and educational too.

I mean, if the idea is to make these films popular, then a lot of people have to see them, nay, look forward to watching them. Think how many of those films there are out there, that many people haven't seen. Let these films stand on their own merits. If it's a bad film, then more off-the-wall commentary is interjected.
This is something the artsy film makers might allow if they had confidence in their films. Many would take offense at critique, their serious films might be made fun of. So permission would have to be granted with full undertanding this might happen. Have to have a thick skin for sure, but if it made people laugh it would be a service to humanity. And it would make the films more widely seen, at least the good ones.
