Labor Date/Oscar Matters/Dern at AFI/


Good Thursday to All...

I have loaded up on the "Llewyn Davis" soundtrack this week as the 6 copies of the vinyl arrived as did the CD which I have ripped to the various digital platforms I have.  I sort of like the soundtrack...a lot!

Now, on with this week's Telluride Film Festival news items...

LABOR DATE



Jason Reitman's "Labor Day" will get an Oscar qualifying run the lat week of December but won't open wide until January 2014.  The Wrap (with apologies to the earlier spelling error and thanks to Chris Schiller who caught it...color me embarrassed), The Playlist and The Hollywood Reporter filed these stories:
