Lancelot Link: Labor Day

Lancelot Link Monday! There is a low budget horror flick named after almost every holiday, and Eli Roth managed to even do a silly trailer in the movie GRINDHOUSE called THANKSGIVING DAY which has killer Pilgrims. But where is the LABOR DAY horror film?

Though Labor Day is the unofficial end of "Hollywood Summer" it is actually a day where we honor hard working people... and it's a Federal Holiday which *used to mean* that nobody worked on Labor Day, and Labor had a day off. They could take a break that lasted longer than 10 minutes. But now, Labor Day is all about Labor Day Sales, which means the day we set aside to honor those people who work hard... ends up being the day those people have to *work harder* because of those sales. This makes no sense! Federal Holidays used to mean *EVERYTHING IS CLOSED* and now it means *EVERYTHING IS OPEN LONGER HOURS*.

I would vote for a Presidential Candidate who said they would make sure the CEO of any company who had stores open on Labor Day would be arrested and jailed. It ain't Management Day, buddy! While you're thinking about that, here are this week's links to some great screenwriting and film articles, plus some fun stuff that may be of interest to you. Brought to you by that suave and sophisticated secret agent...
