Michael's Telluride Film Blog : Invitation/New Master Date/Best of the Week/Trouble with the Curve

Good Saturday Everyone!

INVITATION

To the Second "Guide to the Ride, Flow of the Show" at 5PM on Friday, Aug. 31 at The River Club (550 Depot) in Telluride. We'll talk about the festival and film and have a refreshment or two!

NEW MASTER DATE

Late news from yesterday is that The Weinstein Company has moved the limited release date of Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" to Sept. 14th. That essentially means that if it is going to play ANY festival that Telluride is now probably the most likely...

I have linked multiple posts:
