Serenity's second weekend at the box officeYes, the second weekend will tell all, as we've always known. I'm not here to push you guys -- you push yourselves way harder than I could anyway. I'm just trying to figure out how to get the message out to the guys that aren't you, that don't know any of you, and that don't run into someone who saw the film. I'll be hounding the extremely patient Uni execs on that very subject. Like the lady said, "People have to know".
It's not that there HAS to be a sequel. It's just that I've got so many IDEAS..."

sjkadkj Please, for the love of God.. for the love of ME.. for the love of your pet dog, whoever, I don't care... PLEASE go see this movie this weekend. And then see it again. Take everyone you know; take a friend, take your mom, take your grandpa, take the guy who always makes your coffee extra nice from Starbucks... I mean, I saw the movie again yesterday and a majority of the people there were old folks - old people love Serenity!
If you love the sci-fi genre, you should go see this movie. I think we all know that sci-fi and fantasy movies get a shitty rep.. often they're poorly made or poorly reviewed and make very little money. They're hardly ever taken seriously. If you love sci-fi, you should support this movie.
If you have ever loved a tv series, only to have it cancelled, you should see this movie. How many times have you held a tv show dear, only to have it taken away from you? FarScape. Futurama. Playmakers. Angel. My So-Called Life. Sports Night. Dead Like Me. Wonderfalls. Freaks and Geeks. Odyssey 5. Joan of Arcadia. Tru Calling. Roswell. ... And these are all just off the top of my head. Serenity is based off of a cancelled tv show (you don't have to have seen Firefly to see Serenity, though), proving that sometimes fans and persistance really can make a difference (hey, Family Guy came back). If you have ever loved a tv show that was cancelled, you should support this movie.
You should see this movie if you love good characters, good plot, humor, action, drama, love, family, standing up for what you believe in, fighting for a cause, spaceships, guns, space cowboys, swearing in Chinese, that idea that a movie does not need over-popular Hollywood actors to do good, more guns,
The year is drawing to a close; so much has happened over the past twelve months in my life, and in some respects I’m still trying to make sense of it all! DeviantArt has played a major part in my life over the past year – it has shaped me as a person more than University ever has – and I have all of you to thank for that.
During high school my father handed me a leather bag – I didn’t know what the contents were. When I opened it up I found to my delight an old Pentax 35mm with an assortment of lenses. I was thrilled. I had never tried my hand at photography before but immediately went out to the nearest store, picked up some film and joined the school newspaper. A week later I got my first rolls of film back – all underexposed and ruined. I had failed miserably and put the camera away in my closet.
In early 2003 I took a trip to Quebec City for the Winter Carnival – and I took the camera with me. In April of that year a good friend from High School introduced me to DeviantArt. I submitted some of my photos from the trip (that were not underexposed – hurrah!) and a handful of pencil drawings of Totoro. It didn’t take long for me to become hooked and soon I was taking pictures again and learning from other photographers. That summer I bought my first digital camera, and I haven’t looked back since.
As of this moment I have been taking on small commercial jobs, doing commission work and creating a portfolio that I will take to local galleries in early 2005. I have started to sell prints both online and offline, and I have started to think of photography as a serious profession down the road. Perhaps it will be as a photojournalist, perhaps as a researcher – maybe simply as an artist trying to capture the beauty around me. In the course of just over a year photography has become my one true passion – I can’t put the camera down, and I can’t stop flipping through books, magazine articles, collections etc. It truly is addictive, and it changes the way I view the world around me.
I owe this tremendous change in my life to all of you. Since the very beginning you guys have been incredibly supportive, and incredibly inspirational. The amount of constructive feedback that I have received is overwhelming to say the very least. The other rich aspect of this community is the ability to see what others see – I have enjoyed viewing your work since joining – there have been some very moving / thought provoking / gorgeous imagery produced. This artistic community is a blessing for those starting out as an artist, or for those who simply want to share or observe work.
I don’t want this community experience to end anytime soon – I hope to remain an active member of the site and play as much of a part in your lives as you have played in mine. Sometimes I do get busy with school etc, but don’t ever feel that I’m ignoring you! Leave a message; kick me from time to time (even a slap to the face will do). I say this from time to time, but I’ll say it again here – if you ever want feedback on your work just let me know – I really don’t mind stopping by to comment / offer input! It is always nice to see what other people are using their imagination and creativity to produce.
Regardless of what your background is, I hope that you find the time over the next couple of weeks to relax and sneak away from the hectic pace of life - enjoy the company of family & friends! All the best to you in 2005
Cheers,
Evan
