So, it's happened: Serenity has made it's debut. The first weekend is over. I dragged nearly everyone I knew to it and made them sit through it, no bathroom breaks allowed—they might miss important plot points and sweet fight sequences! And some of them even went to see it again, and again, and then again (and no, I'm not counting my parents, here, because they're already asking me for their own personal copy of the DVD and poster and role playing book—I REALLY hope my Dad doesn't want to play Inara). Yes, my family and my friends are devoted and very proud of even the silliest of things that I do, but I knew by their slightly sheepish faces on being caught with not one, not two, but THREE Serenity movie passes in their wallets on only the third day of it opening that they loved this movie.
I am so pleased by this. I've always vowed to never get too close to a project and to never, ever fall in love with it, but I did that with Firefly, and I did it again with Serenity. I couldn't help it. It's special to me. It stands out. And to know that it stands out for other people too, people that love it because it's intelligent and funny and so original, it makes me happier than anything. Joss is right when he says that none of the usual industry rules apply to this movie, because they really don't. There's no predicting what will happen. We don't know what's coming, and we don't know what our ultimate fate will be. It's virtually impossible to know. We are different. We always have been. It's just what makes us even more special.
Above all else, we opened this weekend to the tune of 10.1 million dollars, and we're the number one "new" movie in the country. That says a ton. I know my theatre was packed to the brim with browncoats, and when I see it again this weekend coming up, I know it will be the same, because you don't give up. We have something that bikini-clad treasure-hunting Paul Walker-kissing peeps don't, and that's the most dedicated, most wonderful fan base in the world. (know how good that feels?)
It's of course, far from over. The second weekend means even more than the first. We need this film to stay in theatres for as long as possible to give ourselves the opportunity to make some cash so we can keep going, keep flying, and keep making movies. And those people saying shitty things, saying that you don't matter and that it's over? They don't get it. No big deal. Ignore that kind of stuff. There are NO RULES here. No accurate predictions. Anything is possible. Just know that everything you do, every ten bucks you spend on a ticket, every friend you bring to the theatre with you, all of it helps. Lets show them how mighty we can be.
I am so proud.
Jewel
PS If you're reading this Dad, I was just kidding. You can play Inara. Just not Kaylee, k?

Zajrzałam sobie do Jewel, prawie nic nie pisze, ale w kwietniu wysmażyła jedną dłuższą notkę, a tam:
[...] But, work wasn't all that was on my mind, of course. LA is one of my favorite places to eat out, to go out, to see the people I never get to see anymore, so a lot of it was just more vacationing. Funny how I manage to work a vacation into everything I do. We ate at Hamasaku, that sushi place I'm always raving about, and on their new menu is a new roll named after yours truly! It's called something like the Great Canadian Jewel, which sounds like a cruise ship, but whatever. I love cruises, and the roll is awesome. We also saw Alan Tudyk for a night out, who always manages to give me the worst hangover of my life the next day but I love him, and we saved Santa Monica (life guard tower was on fire, we called 911, we're heroes). We had a great lunch with Gina Torres and gossiped over pinot and omelettes at the Chateau Marmont, which was my second home last year any time I was in town promoting Serenity—they have great fries. And we saw Morena (Baccarin) several times, once for a wine tasting and an amazing Italian dinner in Los Feliz, once for steaks at Taylor's in Korea town (AWESOME cheeseburgers), and once she even cooked us dinner and baked a cake, and it was actually edible and we didn't die from it. Anyway, it was really nice to see everybody who was in town, but now I kind of miss them all over again.
On to the work side of things: I've signed on to do a movie called The Tribe, and how they're pitching it is Lost meets Predator. Kind of weird, I know, but the script is great, and I get to do lots of action sequences and fun stuff like getting chased by scary things in the jungle (won't tell you what scary things). It's going to be probably the most demanding thing I've ever done; I'm in literally every scene except a couple, which I haven't done yet, and there's a ton of stunts and running for my life... but I'm always up for an adventure, so it should be a lot of fun. The next time I write will probably be from my hotel in Costa Rica, where the film will be shot, and I'm sure I'll have all kinds of stories to tell you by then. Hopefully not about snakes in my toilet or anything. Not so wild about the snakes.
