From the "wouldn't you just know it" file...our friend Angie "Moneyballs" Jolie-Pitt just gets ready to show off the life of her good friend Louis Zamperini in "Unbroken" and she gets, the chicken pox. I wanted to wish her well and tell her that even with the pox, she still looks amazing. I know, because I am one of those kind of guys that life throws curveballs at all the time, like Louis, that he would think this would be hilarious..so don't worry Angie...Moneyballs stepped in just like he was supposed to and did all the stuff that Christopher would do for me if he had to.
I will accept your apology for Louis knowing that he would tell you to feel better and saying, "it's just another obstacle in an already crazy life", in between laughing and telling you that there are much worse things. Muah from Louis.
Before I get to something else, can I just tell you...mommy's girl "shut it down" last night...looking like mom...this was the cutest Jolie Pitt at the premiere last night. She's absolutely adorable Angie and Dad. The boys didn't look to shabby last night either, except that tall one with the kids...just playing Bradley.
This is what you dress like when you are an Academy Award winning executive producer's kid and the director's daughter...a suit. This one is going to be all business. I think I'd work with Shiloh Pitt-Jolie on any project if she keeps taking this premiere stuff so seriously and dresses like a champ! Clearly this one said, "Mom's at home with the chicken pox, I'll take over". We have a few of these running around our house these days.
Now as to this whole Sony mishap, a small word of advice that I know Jeffrey wouldn't like but may agree with. First of all, you and I both know that people say things in emails that are just simply rubbish...blah, blah, blah. I don't even answer my cellphone anymore because I don't want to hear any more police threats or bs from those that would detract from this project of love and hope. As for the movie being stolen, you know we've dealt with this out here now for many years...plenty was stolen from Jeff's home and we damn well know whom was behind it. My advice to you, Angie, in this situation only is this. You've told a story about a beautiful man that you call friend...his inspiration could change the lives of millions or just one. Being the guy that has an incredible story of love and hope in our situation, I want to tell you what Louis would think...he'd be happy to know that more people would see his story because of this theft than concerned about the theft itself...sometimes a story transpires box office. I know you are trying to do well for his family, but remember, Louis is more than a movie, he's hope. There is nothing worse for a person like me than to think that someone that would have been inspired to greater heights won't be because they can't afford to see it. Maybe now they will...your happiness and joy should come from telling it for him, don't let anything take away from what you gave to his soul, his family and his spirit. Especially knowing what it did for you already...Louis is free...let your conscience be at peace..." Love ya, Kevin. I can only pray that I can have someone tell my story with Christopher as beautifully as you did for him!
Chicken soup for chicken pox and all our love.
(You do know you have to get the shingles shot now too right? You don't want that to happen before a premiere or any other time, trust me!!!)
See Christopher, this is what you have to do for me when I can't make it someplace and Jeffrey gets mad at me...the look on Moneyball's face is, "...see Jeffrey, I'm here on time!"
