Storyline: Life in the Grid
Organizers of the annual Trash Film Orgy, now in its ninth year, have just announced their 2009 summer schedule for July through August at the Crest Theatre in Downtown Sacramento.
The festival, "bringing you the best in 35mm exploitation and cult cinema," will start on July 11 with the camp classic "Flash Gordon," and follow up with five more mostly-obscure films of the midnight movie variety. The shows will be hosted by the festival's original host, Francois Fly. The screenings will also feature a variety of other activities, including "live bloody stage shows," costume contests and audience participation. These folks go all-in.
What follows is the schedule for the 2009 Trash Film Orgy, complete with exuberant punctuation.

This is the original, pre-Joss Whedon "Buffy" film, with Kristy Swanson and Rutger Hauer. It bears very little relation to the TV show, and is definitely an unsung classic of the early nineties. "Black Belt Jones" is definitely the classic in this run, with "Flash Gordon" as the campy sci-fi hit and "Lady Terminator" in the "amazing trainwreck of awesome badness" category.

Are you kidding this is an AWESOME lineup of movies. Can't wait to see these movies on the big screen! Chopping Mall is hilarious! And you can't get much better blaxploitation than Black Belt Jones.
