[Elana ] * Toronto Sun Articles [Fredsteve@aol.com] * Jewel Special on ABC 5 (Philippines) MONDAY [DE LEON JOE Subject: * Me and Jewel at the movies... Hi everyone, I got tickets to go to the North American premier of "Ride With the Devil" At the Toronto International Film Festival and I went yesterday to see the movie. I don’t want to ruin the movie for the rest of you so I won’t tell you what happens or anything, but I’ll tell you about the whole experience. Sorry it’s really long, editing isn’t one of my strong points!!! =) I got really dressed up cause I thought it would be fun!!! I went with my dad and we got there early so that we'd get good seats!!! They wouldn't let people in for awhile and then I had to wait for like 20 minutes inside, then we went to our seats, center balcony 2nd row!!! I got a program that had an article about the movie and a pic!!! Then we sat there for a long time it seemed like forever, I was starting to regret coming!!! There was a microphone set up on the stage in front of the screen, my dad said that maybe someone like the director of the film was going to say something, but I told him that nobody from the film was coming!!! =) Well, the lights dimmed and someone walked onto the stage and said a few words about the film and then the producer and Ang Lee the director came out, I thought it was nice of them to come!!! Then Ang said he’d like some of the cast members to come out!!! So, I’m thinking oh that’s nice maybe Skeet Ulrich or Tobey Maguire came... So Ang goes... Skeet Ulrich... [and there is a pause and then out walks Skeet and everyone claps] Tobey Maguire... [and there is a pause and then out walks Tobey and everyone claps] And I’m thinking oh that’s nice of them to come, cause I’ve enjoyed them in there previous films and I just saw Skeet on The View with his bad hair cut, anyways...] Then Ang goes... Jewel... [and it’s seems like the longest pause and I think they’re mistaken cause Jewel’s not here and...] Jewel walks out and everyone claps!!! =O Oh my god I didn’t know she was coming, I thought Jewel was only going to the hollywood premier!!! I couldn’t believe it there was Jewel... of coarse I couldn’t see her too well cause I was up in the balcony... but there was Jewel!!! For anyone who was wondering what she was wearing: She was wearing a light blue almost periwinkle colored evening dress with a shall or something around her shoulders,the dress was about to her knee, I think and the neckline was cut low!!! She looked nice!!! Well... anyways they all left the stage and the movie began!!! I felt so special me and Jewel at the movies, did you know we watch movies together now!!! =) hee, hee... Well, I was wondering where they were going to sit so I kept looking down from the balcony but I couldn’t see them!!! Oh, this is suppose to be about some movie right, oh ya "Ride With The Devil" There is a lot of violence, and as you all know it is about the civil war!!! Jewel isn’t in the movie for like the fist half an hour but she did show up later!!! You know what was weird, it’s suppose to be a serious movie and all, or at least that’s what I expected, and it was but it was also quite funny!!! Not all of it but just certain parts mostly the parts including Jewel!!! I think things were funnier because it was unexpected!!! But don’t get me wrong by no means is this a comedy!!! I would give you examples but I don’t want to ruin it for you!!! Jewel was great, she can act, I thought she did a really great job as did the other actors!!! My dad said Tobey seemed kinda weak at the beginning but he got much better as the movie progressed!!! The guys looked very rugged in it, but at the end Tobey looked very boyish!!! And Jewel did ride a mule, and there was something funny about that but I won’t tell you!!! =) I thought it was going to be a really long and boring violent movie, and I only went to see it cause Jewel was in it!!! I think I tried to convince myself it would be long and boring so that when it wasn’t I would think it was great!!! =) But it wasn’t boring, it was long though (like 2hr. 15mins.) and had a lot of violence but I wasn’t bored at all, I really enjoyed it!!! I didn’t think they really went into the emotions of the characters enough but that just might have been because of the time it took place in!!! And I thought that Jewel’s baby in the film was from her husband that died but it wasn’t!!! I also thought that her husband would die in the film but he didn’t he died before!!! It was also weird seeing Jewel play a character, I think I could see a little of Jewel in her character, and it was weird seeing her with a baby, I don’t know how motherly she seemed, but that might have been cause I wasn’t used to her having a baby!!! My dad actually caught some errors in the movie like someone buried with a blanket and then later in the movie the same blanket shows up again, stuff like that, I didn’t catch it but my dad’s good at that!!! Well, so Jewel was good the movie was good and I enjoyed it!!! At the end of the movie "What’s Simple Is True" came on!!! So, we started walking out and we wanted to go out a certain way but they stopped us and said we couldn’t go that way, but people were leaving that way so why couldn’t we? So, we asked and they said that they had to get the (I forget the real word) important people out first, so we said like who? They said the director, producer... Then Jewel came out with rest of the important people, so I was like no fair she’s right there, but she was in a crowd and not very close, she went down the way I couldn’t go, to the limos waiting for them!!! That is so cool Jewel was sitting right up in the balcony with me and I didn’t even know it, I thought she’d be sitting downstairs but no she was sitting up in the balcony with me!!! So, my dad said that maybe if you ask nicely they’ll let you by... So, I went up to one of the people not letting people by and asked "Can I please go down that way?" and they said "Oh, were you suppose to meet them down stairs?" "Ah, yes, yes I’m suppose to meet them down stairs" =) So they let me by!!! They thought I was part of the group of important people!!! =) Isn’t that funny, I’m really glad I got dressed up, cause if I had just worn jeans they wouldn’t have let me by!!! My dad gave me a pen and I had my program!!! So we passed them and went down stairs and I don’t see the group any more or Jewel, and I have no clue where I’m going!!! So then I see a door leading out side and I’m thinking aww I missed them!!! =) So I go out side and there’s a bunch of limos and a group of people and I’m looking for Jewel, and I couldn’t see her, wait there she is!!! =0 She is standing out side talking to people (I assume people from the movie, she knows them all) and they are all talking and different people are coming up to her and congratulating her and giving her huggs!!! And my dad says to go say hi, but suddenly I was so frightened I couldn’t do it, I was like oh my god she’s right there!!! It’s not like in concert where she’s on a different level she’s right there on the same level as me I freaked out!!! I didn’t expect to be "star struck" I know she’s just a normal person but for some reason I was!!! =) I wasn’t going to go over and ask her for her autograph I didn’t think that would be right, I just wanted to talk to her and thank her... So, I walked over to her and she was talking to people so I didn’t want to be rude and interrupt so I waited, I was standing right behind her, I was going to tap her on the shoulder but this was Jewel I couldn’t do that!!! Then she started talking to someone else and I was standing right beside Jewel as she talked to some guy I had no clue what they were talking about because my mind wasn’t working very well!!! I’m standing right beside Jewel and weirdly enough we’re like the exact same height cause I’m wearing really high heel boots!!! =) So, I wait till she finishes talking and then… "Hi ah Jewel" I started talking to her and I had no clue what I was saying. I told her I thought she did a really great job in the movie, and it was a really great movie, and she’s you know like saying thank you n’ stuff. She sees I’m holding a pen and she asks if I wanted her to sign something? So, I say "Ah ya, sure" and she sighs the back of my program (the pen didn’t work too well, remember to always test the pen on your hand first) Cause my autograph says: ewel cause you can barely see the J I think that’s so wrong to ask someone if they want your autograph, I know she was just being nice, but in general I think it’s wrong if it wasn’t Jewel it would have been wrong!!! =) I wasn’t going to ask her for an autograph, it wasn’t the place for it, I mean of coarse I’m glad I got it but you know what I mean, wait insulting Jewel comes next!!! =) So I thank her for the autograph and I start telling her that I watched hours of video on the civil war so that I’d understand the movie. And that I just saw her in concert in Buffalo and here (Toronto) and that she was great, and that she signed my book. She’s like you know saying really, ya, and stuff. I said "I just wanted to say I thought you did a really great job in the movie, and that it was *actually* a good movie!!!" So she’s like "*actually*, oh it was actually a good movie" [in a sarcastic tone] so she says thank you and I walk away!!! =( I didn’t mean to insult her, I don’t think she was really upset or anything but I felt so bad. Of all the things to say how about your such an inspiration for me or at least say something intelligent!!! ;[ So, I felt really bad about it after but I was so glad I got to meet her, I couldn’t believe it I was standing with Jewel that’s so cool, isn’t it? She was right there, I couldn’t have gotten any closer, not on tv, not on a stage right there in front of me!!! Oh, some fans that couldn’t get too where I was were yelling "I love you Jewel" and she yelled "I love you too" back and she stayed there for a couple more minutes after I left and then she got into a limo and left!!! This would have been the perfect opportunity to get to actually talk to her but I did the best I could well still in shock!!! =) I still don’t understand why I was so nervous!!! I didn’t realize Skeet and Tobey were standing there also, I would have liked to see them and say hi, I saw Ang Lee the director but I didn’t go up to him, I should have but I wasn’t thinking!!! =) So that’s my story, I figure practice makes perfect and by about the 5th time I meet Jewel I’ll get it right!!! =) But I was really lucky and I will always remember what a cool night it was!!! =) Well, if anyone has any questions about the movie I’d be glad to answer them, I just didn’t want to ruin it for the rest of you that hadn’t seen it yet!!! =) Well, I just wanted to share my story with you!!! Sorry, this was so long!!! :' always, elana === "We compromised our pride, sacrificed our health We must demand more, not of each other, but more from ourselves." - Jewel ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 10:06:37 EDT From: Fredsteve@aol.com Subject: * Toronto Sun Articles Here are links to a couple of articles that appeared in the Toronto Sun today.
