Maybe the person meant "terrible" in a positive way? As in "it inspires terror?"
I know, probably not. You'd think with things like Pulp Fiction around, the old snobbery about entertaining art not necessarily being good art would go away. Maybe this means your work is the noir of the 2030s?
I'm going down a bit of a fantasy route here, though, because I can't even imagine why Silk would be called "trashy." It's not like it's a string of action, sex, and torrid romance. I can only imagine the person finds something trashy about nuanced characterisation and mood.
I finally saw The Proposition, by the way. You were absolutely right about it--I wrote about it in my LJ. The setting was like a more oppressive version of the places in Leone films. I, too, wished it had more of John Hurt.
