Re:Last Flag Flying..yuk

What a stupid choice for opening night. Those intellectuals....Kent Jones, the artis=ic director of the festival is an idiot.

Why show a =ordy depressing film on a "party" night. Simon went home. I did go to the =fter party to tell the director and Bryan Cranston how brilliant they are.=That's all they want to be told anyway.

As soon as t=e apartment walls are up and the moldings are done and the new bathroom an= kitchen...and new fireplace are in...you MUST come for a viewing and I ca= show you all the fabrics and photos of the furniture....3 weeks.

It's going to be a bit like a Paris apartment...NOT mod=rn beige, like a hotel room...but fabulous euro interesting. Like a jewel.=It's not really big enough for this of-so-chic attention...but I travel so=much...it's really a pied a tier. If I get hit by a truck tomorrow, Mattie=can sell it in a second.

What I really need is a bal=room and a bedroom...if this renovation is great, I might flip this and lo=k for the ballroom. But...my=maintenance is so low, it's practically free....which gives me the ability=to travel anyplace anytime. =br>

My friend is a very smar= British director Simon Curtis, who just did "Goodbye Christopher Robbins"=about the writing of "Winnie the Pooh". Film just opened in London to grea= reviews. It will not do as well here...it's very sweet. His past films ar= "Women in Gold" about Nazi stolen Klempts that now hang in Ronald Lauder'= museum on Fifth and "My Week with Marilyn" about Monroe filming in Englan=. He is married to Elizabeth McGovern, semi-talented and very nice. <=iv style="width: 100%; font-size: initial; font-family: Calibri, 'Slate =ro', sans-serif, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); text-align: initial;=background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

See the Churchill film, "The Darkest Hour" with Gary Oldman=playing Winston. He will win the Oscar. Also "Call Me By Your Name". "Lady=Bird", "Three Billboards", "I,Tonya", "The Shape of Water will send mo=e. These titles are all great.

I am going to =malia and Adam Lindemann's for dinner tomorrow night. Spending the weekend at the film festival and hav= screenings we are giving all next week. Also giving a dinner Tues, Oct. 3=d for Lord and Lady Astor at La Grenouille for 10 swells. xoxo Peggy
