It was all about Sex and the City 2 this morning.
In an effort for the movie industry to make more money on the Sex and the City brand and to get more parents to bring their 13-year-old daughters to theaters to watch soft core porn, movie makers opened up shot at Coopers Beach in Southampton to film Sex and City 2.
I got a call that they were going to be shooting some of the movie down at Coopers Beach in Southampton and headed down there. I was pretty excited, but all that happened was a bunch of extras showed up on a bus. There was some other press there, and we learned pretty quickly that they were shooting the main characters in a private residence. Oddly there was a flat bed truck at Coopers with a few Mercedes Benz cars piled in the back. Car chase scene on the beach? Doubtful. Nobody was saying anything, not even the truck driver, as to which house was filming. Movie people are so secretive. Don’t they get that everybody is a celebrity in the Hamptons! We’re not impressed!

Renne Zellweger was on Letterman last week promoting her movie and talked about the restaurant her and Jon Bon Jovi revived, The Blue Parrot in East Hampton. Very cool to get an East Hampton shout out. Renne looked like she was in unbelievable shape.
I had Dos Equis at the Blue Parrot last week and felt like the world’s most interesting man. A lot have speculated that the restaurant is not the same. But you can still get a burrito there and a beer for under twenty bucks and the decor is EXACTLY the same. Also, almost everybody that works there is a local, so I don’t get why so many are sad that ownership has changed. It’s a blessing that it is still there in East Hampton to go out to eat in a relaxed place that is tex mex.
ANYWAY. Here is the clip where she talks about the restaurant in East Hampton to the whole world. My guess is that business will go up after that!

The Windmill Movie is a movie about the life of Richard P. Rogers a filmaker and teacher at Harvard University and Director Of The Harvard University Film Studies Center. Mr. Rogers dedicated over twenty years of his life filming a documentary about himself, his emotions and viewpoints, including his experiences of summers in the Hamptons. He shot countless hours of film, but never completed the movie and died of cancer in 2001. One of his students Alexander Olch helped finish it and filled in the pieces to bring the movie to life. The shots of old footage of Hamptons parties is incredible in the trailer. It won “The Official Selection at the New York Film Festival”
It will be showing at the Sag Harbor Movie Theater over the weekend of June 19th/20th.

Lymelife, a new film starring East Hampton resident Alec Baldwin is getting some momentum. The story has greater meaning than the actual plot synopisis, which on paper doesn’t seem all that interesting, a family on Long Island is having some problems. Martin Scorsese is producing it, which means its going to be pretty damn interesting though. The tag line for the movie “The American Dream sucks.” What’s that all about? Think movies that make you think about life, we’re thinking “Little Miss Sunshine” genre.
The film follows around Scott Barlett (Rory Culkin, yes like Maculy Culkin), a teenager who is trying to keep his sanity to survive high school, while at the same time dealing with his parents, who are completely bananas. There is a hint of lyme’s disease in the trailer.
Are you excited?

When Henry Uihlein in Montauk speaks, people listen. The owner of Uihlein’s Marina in Montauk is one of the most respected residents of the community, and according to him, the Cricket II, Frank Mundus’s famed shark fishing boat based inspiring the movie “Jaws”, should be left in Montauk as a memorial. And he’s gonna put up his own money to make it all happen.
When the famous shark hunter died last year, his boat was left in Uihlein’s yard, and an auction for it ensued. The minimum bid was $100,000, but nobody bit. This week, somebody bid $40,000. Henry Uihlein has proposed that the town board gives him a loan to buy the boat, which he personally promises to pay back for a Mundus Memorial. After all, he was only the greatest and most infamous shark fisherman on the planet.
Whether or not this will work out and keep the boat in Montauk doesn’t not seem to be clear. Either way however, Henry Uihlein has made it clear that he will not sit around and not have a memorial for Frank Mundus. If the boat gets sold at the lower price or not, he is going to do something about it.
Perhaps a big shark tank?
Watch a bio of Frank Mundus Below.
