Some enterprising souls have started up Trash Palace, billing itself as "Toronto's classiest cinema." :)

They will be showing 16mm versions of some classic B cinema.

The one that caught my eye is Macon County Line, which will screen on Nov. 9 (the theatre's location is a closely guarded secret. You find out when you buy the ticket).

Max Baer Jr. (Jethro of The Beverly Hillbillies TV show fame) wrote, produced and starred in this 1974 tale of a nasty southern sheriff who mistakes some road trippers for murderous thugs.

One reason I remember this is because Baer suffered some reversals of financial fortune in the period before the film. This quote from one interview stuck with me: "I'm gonna make so much fuckin' money, they'll never be able to take it away from me!"

One should note that Macon County Line came on the heels of 1973's Walking Tall, starring Joe Don Baker. The two of them inspired a succession of southern hell movies. One would think Walking Tall should be coming to the Trash Palace at some future point. And what about Billy Jack?!?!

Another that caught my eye is Leslie Nielsen starring as a kung fu assassin in the 1978 film Project: Kill ("this is not a comedy," the flyer warns).

Do with this information what you will.
