Sixty Something: Favorite Hamptons Movie and TV Moments

T.J. Clementeby T.J. Clemente
in Community
Home Community

I remember the first time I went to the movies without my parents. I went to see “Babes in Toyland” with Ralph Hershberger. He spirited me away at the ripe age of six years old on a NYC transit bus to a movie theater somewhere on Pelham Parkway in the Bronx. Ralph was eight years old and very worldly at that time because he knew the bus schedule. Imagine parents today allowing an eight-year-old and a six-year-old to go to a movie 15 bus stops away?

 

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that movie again yet I still can hear the songs in my head, “Toyland Toyland let’s take a trip to Toyland.” I remember my amazement in the way the tin soldiers came to life. There is always some magic in seeing a movie on the big screen with a bag of popcorn and perhaps a cup of Coca-Cola. Sadly, due to Covid I haven’t been in a movie theater to see a movie in about two years. Hopefully when all those movies they are holding back because of Covid are released, I will go back. 

 

I just love when I see a movie or TV series that was actually filmed in the Hamptons! I love watching the 1988 movie, “Masquerade,” starring Rob Lowe, Meg Tilly, and Kim Cattrall. The many scenes on Shelter Island, Southampton Village, and Sag Harbor are literally time machines. If you haven’t seen this movie go find it. It used to be at the East Hampton Library, perhaps it still is! 

 

Another favorite is the 2003 classic, “As Good as it Gets,” starring Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Keanu Reeves and Amanda Peet. I love when that one shows up on cable TV late at night, it makes me put down the remote. There are some wonderful totally Hamptons scenes. 

 

One of the worst portrayals of the Hamptons was on the TV series “Castle,” that starred Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic. In one-episode, Fillion who portrays Richard Castle, is supposedly driving on a parkway/highway from NYC to the Hamptons when he stops and gets out of his car on the side of the road. As he makes a call, in the background are snow covered mountains. Not a sight to be seen on Long Island in the summer with the highest elevation on the island being 401 feet above sea level in West Hills. To make matters worse he then says he is going to turn around and drive south back to NYC! Not quite East-West! 

 

Having lived for a few years in Montauk watching the “Affair,” was a trip. I enjoyed that SHOWTIME series and it’s use of the Deep Hollow Ranch, LUNCH, the Montauk Lighthouse etc. Yet it drove me nuts when they were always riding bikes in the wrong direction to go to places in the other direction. However, they really filmed some wonderful shots of Montauk. 

 

For a full decade I covered the Hamptons International Film Festival with full credentials. I actually had a few seconds on screen with the filming, “King of the Hamptons.” I am in a scene of an actual Dan’s Papers editorial meeting back in the old Bridgehampton office. It was fun watching this film get made and then to be sitting in the theater in East Hampton with the paper’s staff watching the first official presentation of the film. 

 

My proudest personal Hamptons TV accomplishment was being the centerpiece on a Plum-TV, (anyone remember Plum TV in the Hamptons?) piece on “Marilyn Monroe in the Hamptons.” It played on local TV a few times a week for about five years. It was amazing with scenes of me sitting on a bench in the Ditch Plains Trailer Camp with the ocean waves breaking behind me. Then while talking into the camera the documentary would show numerous clips of Marilyn Monroe in the Hamptons. Watching never got old. The link was lost when Plum-TV out east closed down. Too bad, it was a great documentary.

  • Hilary Matt Interiors is a residential design firm started and located in New York City with projects spanning across the country, including in the Hamptons and East End.⁠
⁠
Hilary, principal and founder, is known for a bold aesthetic that is comfortable and livable. She always keeps her clients at the forefront so they can express themselves as individuals through their spaces. After starting out in the fashion industry, Hilary felt a call to interior design where she has been bringing her unique approach and style to every space as the brand continues to grow.⁠
⁠
Hilary spoke more about her background, how each HMI project differs from one another, and why the Hamptons is such a special place to her. She also shared her top 5 interior design tips as inspiration.⁠
⁠
Can you discuss your background and how you got started with interior design?⁠
⁠
HM: I studied business and apparel merchandising. After graduating, my first job was at a women’s contemporary showroom in NYC. I had always loved fashion and wanted to be in the industry. After a year, I realized it wasn’t quite what I expected. I had always been interested in interior design, so I took a leap of faith and accepted a job as an assistant to an interior designer. I was initially nervous to leave fashion, but I figured I could always return. I ended up loving it and worked with her for eight years, learning the ins and outs of the business. I also took classes on weekends and evenings to learn computer programs, scaling, and other essential skills. After leaving that position and having my first son, I started my own company, which has snowballed into what we are today.⁠

  • Comedian Des Bishop took the stage at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center this week and delivered laugh after laugh. A native New Yorker, Des moved to Ireland in his teenage years, which ultimately inspired his start in comedy and a successful career that has spanned three decades.⁠
⁠
His comedy is full of observational humor and nostalgia, whether it be about his many cross-cultural experiences, an ever-changing societal landscape, and his own personal stories growing up. Des brings energy and a unique perspective to every show, evident at his Westhampton show, the place he has spent all his summers since the 90s.⁠
⁠
Des spoke more about his background, how his experiences have shaped his approach to comedy, his connection with the East End, and his WHBPAC show.⁠
⁠
Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you first got into comedy?⁠
⁠
DB: Well, my background is a little complicated, but the quick version is I grew up in Queens, flunked out of St. Francis Prep at 14, and ended up going to Ireland to boarding school in 1990. It was a crazy, life-changing experience, but it definitely saved my education and ultimately inspired a comedy career that in the early days focused a lot on being an outsider looking in. It’s hard to know if I ever would have tried stand-up if I hadn’t been in Ireland. I got sober at 19 and it was a comedian I knew from that world that pushed me to try stand up. Once I got on stage that was all she wrote. I was addicted.⁠
