X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE has a new title that I want to like, but I'm not sure that I do...
Hey folks, Harry here... The new X-FILES movie has a brand spankin' new title. It won't be called X-FILES 2. Oh no. They've got a wholly new title that will sear into your memory like ERNEST GOES TO CAMP. No, it isn't FOX & SCULLY MAKE A PORNO... It's X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE. Ok. Yeah. So - here's my question. After seasons of seeing crazy ass shit... who exactly doesn't believe? Who is the "I" in the title? Is that Scully? Cuz seriously, if she has some how reverted back to being a "Are you serious Mulder?" Scully, I'm gonna scream. And if Fox has lost his noodle and doesn't believe - then screw it all. Maybe the "I" is Skinner... but I'm pretty sure he believes. Who is left to convince? Us? Man... I've been believing since that guy got eaten by the escalator. And the sewer monster and the cult kids and dude... COWS ARE ALIENS! Maybe the title means... X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE IT WILL KICKASS LIKE IT USED TO. Cuz that's the hope and the thing that I want to believe... how about you? The story broke at CNN

i'll see it regardless, but pretty lame title
-
Without a trace of doubt in my mind.
-
What is this? 1998?
-
Electric Bugaloo? X-Files 2: Assignment Miami Beach?
-
Still like el grade rojo though.
-
Can you imaging gravelly voice over man announcing at the end of the trailer the film is called X-Files- I want to believe? He would sound like an utter twat. No wonder Chris Carter said 20th Century Fox weren't keen on the title...
-
To be followed by X Files 3: The Journey Home
-
Chris Carter said that he was having an argument with the studio over the title. He wanted it to be one thing and the studio wanted it to be another. So what was the other title? And is this one Carter's choice or the studio's?

Seriously, isn't it like 5 years too late for a second movie? Are there any fans left? Judging by the poor guys creating multiple accounts and refreshing their IP to vote multiple times on the CS.net polls (and rank it third or fourth most awaited movie of 2008)... there are.

I think about it every night and day.

...that this is cool news. But is it?

and his email
-
no a cheeseburger, I want a hot dog, I want a milkshake YOU'LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT!!!
-
But that irrelevant. If Skinner isn't in it he definitely wont. But " I want to believe" can mean a lot of things. Not just the existence of alien life or the paranormal.
-
This is almost as bad as "Punisher: Welcome Back Frank."
-
There will be a James Bond type opening sequence with X-File girls covered in body paint floating around the screen while David Duchovny dances around to the song "I Believe" by the Buzzcocks.
-
I called it first fuckers!!!

it could work if they had Jack Nicholson cameo

At least 007's "Quantum of Solace" has a certain poetry to it. I've always got the vibe that Chris Carter is an airhead who got lucky when FOX hired him to develop The X-Files. (It was FOX network executives who had the idea for "law enforcement who investigate the paranormal" and Carter was hired to expand upon that.)
-
Here it goes:
X-Files: I Want to Believe I'll watch this shit, but we needed a long and innovative title. But since "And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull" was used, I guess this will do! -

"I want to believe" is seriously a terrible title. Fight the Future wasn't so hot either, wasn't that the first one's tag/title. Jesus. In all seriousness, it should be something related to the story and not some general statement. Cus right now it might as well be "X-Files 2: Fans 0"

Who thought this one up? I wonder if it's the idea Fox was forcing on Chris Carter, or Carter's idea. Either way, it stinks....they would have genuinely been better off with X-Files 2. Can they not tell the reaction is 99% negative?
-
..thiniking of someone else for a change? You're selfish, man. You've changed.
-
The marketing department has been heavily trying to imply that this movie will have something to do with the mytharc and aliens--which we know from other sources is bogus--so this is the logical next step: use a title that invokes the Conspiracy Myth. Then have it refer to something maybe-important in the movie but which doesn't have anything to do with the oncoming invasion.

Now that I think about it, what with all the schmucks doing their "title spamming" routine, I bet Ain't It Cool is getting more hits than they've ever had. Well played, Harry, well played. -
& Yes Duh. "I Want To Beleive" is the poster in his office. How do I know this? A, I watched the show. And B, it was on the movie trivia game I play at the bar I slippery fisted at.

-
No - seriously.
Since this is a standalone story and not an alien conspiracy yarn, I assume the subtitle has some sort of relevance to the plot beyond referencing Mulder's poster (didn't Doggett grab it from the X-Files office in the final episode?). I don't care - I will be there opening day, however lame sounding a title they decide to slap on it. With any luck, there will be another movie for 2010, then one final flick for 2012, the year when "Colonization" is supposed to happen. And a Scully love doll so that I can have a date opening night. . . just kidding, Erin!
heh, heh -
That post had me blowing coffee out my nose. Good game man, good game.

-
And start the colonization!!!
-
sounds better than "X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE" anything with "I Want to" in the title sounds like a train wreck..
-
It's good enough for me.
-
...sounds like me when I first learned there was no Santa or Jesus or God. Now I don't want to believe and the title just blows. I hope the movie is decent. I watched every episode of the series and te movie too.
-
But I don't. I wonder if this is the title that Carter fought for, or he lost the fight to Fox's marketing. 'Fight the Future' was a crappy title as well. I actually wouldn't mind "X-Files: Enigma." I like the one word titles. Kinda like a lot of the episodes. 'Enigma' doesn't really do it, but a lot of the episode titles had Latin words or simple ones like 'Home' that were very relevant to the story being told. Whereas 'I Want to Believe' is generic, kinda meaningless except for it being a shout out to the show. And it sounds like a marketing guy wrote it, not a screen writer. I wonder if they'll ever do a movie titled, "The X-Files: The Truth is Out There." That's even more on the nose. On another note, there are really nice interviews with Duchovny and Anderson over at IGN, where they hint that maybe a third film will return to the mythology. But otherwise some good insights into how the two actors approach the movie without giving anything away.

Some interesting things that Chris Carter has to say about the film (Stand-a-lone, throwback to S1-3 eps?)plus some tiny wicked hints too (wolfie pic really REAL?).
Anyway, I was working on a film with Todd Masters just before he and his crew from Masters F/X went to work on this film and that gets me excited for the practical effects - this title certainly does not.
Quint - when are you going to do your set visit?
-
"I want to Believe" I'm willing to bet this LAME, LAAaaaaME title was Chris Carter's idea. I want to know what the studio's proposal was. Man, Chris Carter disappoints yet again.
-
Scully's a maniac, maaaaaaniac...
-
...Mulder also clearly speaks the words in the movie, per the trailer. Therefore, it must have some sort of new meaning. In that respect, I'll give it a chance to become a good title, but - at the moment - yeah, it is not good.
-
Is it too late for them to change "I want to believe" to some other title? Like, any other title...
-
but I think they should have just called it X-FILES.
-
This is what happens when you ask George Lucas for suggestions
-
the first movie was called "The X-Files" (the Fight the Future thing was a tag line that became an unofficial title, apparently)... but then again, the people from "The Fast and the Furious" are releasing a sequel named "Fast and the Furious", so why not?

Like everything else in life, the title spamming will die. It is inevitable, and simply a matter of time. It is you, sir, that I suggest just accept it.

So Harry is this the 'studio' title or the one Chris Carter
by half vader
wanted but wasn't sure he'd get.
As for who are they talking about?: "It's a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science. `I Want to Believe.' It really does suggest Mulder's struggle with his faith" says Carter.
What exactly don't you understand, Harry? Or maybe you didn't see that.
Poetic, it's obviously not for you "I'm __ years old! WHY should I have to know/care about that?" preschoolers. The audience is out there. One of these days you'll actually say something worth listening to on the TBs. Or maybe not. Go back to calling things names. -
From acclaimed cult director McG.
-
now thats a movie i want to believe in.
-
you know it makes sense
-
after last week's TBs, I have faith in you
-
you closet Al fan, you
-
Read the article. Chris Carter said it's about Mulder trying to reconcile his own personal faith. And the story apparently is about the battle of faith and science, which is the main crux of the show to begin with. I think it's a natural fit and a great callback to the series, but whatever, go wank about Hellboy some more.
-
Your Oily Black Goo
-
never really watched x-Files, but when i did i loved that poster he had in his office - the one with crap U.F.O and 'I Want To Believe' strap (i'm teaching grandmothers to suck eggs here, forgive me). I was young at the time and not paying attention, but the simplicity of the sentence and the earnest and intrepid nature of the guy in front of the poster really hit me. Simple and universal i think...so i like the title. I need to believe
-
I enjoy the TB title games
-
I agree, workout monster Harry. The title "X-Files: I Want To Believe" sounds hokey as hell. It smacks of a syrupy inner city children's drama about a girl who has talent but not enough money to make it happen, but then a nice white teacher/playwrite/benefactor steps in and allows her to believe.
How about "X-Files: The Truth is Out There"? Something like that? Because everyone I know who gives a shit about the X-Files already believes. -
Cars and Fast and Furious. I usually leave the titles to you "experts" tho.
-
IN 3-D! That one's for gotham night
-
Sounds like a straight to DVD title. Consider me unimpressed. Not too late to change it Mr Carter!
-
hardy har, gotham_night and Mr. McPoops. I wish I could join in the fun with you gentlemen again, like last week, but alas I must leave for the day.

It's like Carter wanted to make a title that snarky film reviewers could incorporate into their negative reviews. A good title for this would have been more descriptive and maybe a little mysterious. There is nothing descriptive about "I want to believe." There is nothing about that that makes you want to see the movie. If they were going to go generic like that, they could have done something like X Files: The Wanton Moment, or X Files: The Broken Mind, or X Files: Emergence. Especially surprising that they chose something like this when they had such awesome titles for their episodes.
-
IT SHOULD HAVE!!! I BLAME THE UFO CONSPIRACY!!!
-
That this movie will not end it like: "Everything that happened to now is totally pointless, since we'll all get beaten by an alien-invasion"
I mean, what sick shithead wrote this dumb ending of X-Files:TheMovie?
Well, normally, I'm trying to be polite, but having watched X-Files for years, getting such an Ending in the first Movie, made me think, that they(not me) totally wasted quite a bit of my lifespan.
As it goes for the second Movie, I'm actually hoping to see the Ending on youtube, before I'll even consider paying for that, 'cause i want an Ending, that satisfies me, like having them make countermeasures that work, to actually defend the earth, before or after the public notices the invasion. -
or the one that FOX wanted them to use. It seems like the one Carter would want. I think it's a great title. It gets back to the basics of the show, which seems to be what this movie is all about.
-
Mulder's back! Your perfect obtainable hunky nerd you wanted to marry but never will is back! Time to curl up with a box of chocolates and lose yourself in his self-satisfied smirk. Don't cry, you'll find love. Or, you know, whatever passes for it. Eventually you'll just grab whatever slab of meet that can hold a job is left and deal. How romantic! Settling. The nesting instinct. Slow suicide.... ITS A UFO CONSPIRACY!!! WOOOOT!!!
-
...Then gets in trouble all over town and we have to figure it out.
-
Its the old "shaggy dog" trick. A really, really long winded, but ultimately empty and over-self-important shaggy dog trick. It shoulda been a 6 episode miniseries, tops. Its also profoundly silly and inane.

Oh wait, that's what they were calling it when Tom Cruise was going to star.

Son of Sculder

This time, with pyro n shit

With Duchovny in a dual role, it 'Dreamland' all over again as Mulder gets to live the life of Hank Moody, bang tons of sluty skanks, while Moody works his best Eddie Van Bludndt on fire crotch.

... by a mutant Native American, vomited back out into a Mulder-shaped hole in the ground and reformed back into Mulder... he'd effin' BELIEVE already!
-
Someone had to say it.
-
all those "new" titles were incredibly lame
-
actually watched the show. If he did, maybe he'll understand the title more! Poser
-
scully's gotta!
-
the movie all starts out with "Guess what? It was all fake! Now here's something the FBI really does..." while Mulder and Scully try and make a standard drug/arms bust about mutant aliens. I'd watch that.
-
They're just X-Files with any word or phrase stuck on the end. I mean come on, I could understand if you were making a pun on the actual title or saying something fuuny but stuff like "X-Files: Jar-Jar Binks" - what the fuck? It means nothing, it just makes you look like retards with nothin to actually do with your day. The only good ones are the ones that try (The Don't Stop Believin' Sopranos nod was good - because it was a play on the actual title), the rest of you sound like you're posting them because you feel you have to.
-
GIVE IT A REST.

The article says this was Carter's choice Carter said he settled on "I Want to Believe" from the time he and co-writer Frank Spotnitz started on the screenplay. It took so long to go public with it because studio executives wanted to make sure it was a marketable title, he said.It may be thematic but I can see why Fox had a problem with it. It's too long and not at all catchy, it sounds straight-to-video and, being a catchphrase of the show, might out off casual viewers thinking it's just aimed at the fans. It's such a shame, the trailer (which should just be released propery) is good, the poster's really good, this title feels like a misstep that might take from the good work so far. I wish Fox had got their wish, the important thing is getting people in the screens if we want the franchise to continue.

Starring Martin Lawrence as Scully's half-brother from another mother.

by aethyrr
..like, instead of seeing it all the time, if we only saw it once or twice, then we could be saying something like "oh yeeeeeah, like that poster Mulder had in his *whatever*"--you understand? Agh my english bad
-
Would have been a better title!!! I Want To Believe? Ugh.
-
How cool does that sound?
-
The had extendable claws that slashed people up and they grew using humans as hosts. The bees were a way of spreading the virus to the human population, thus creating a new race of aliens to colonize the planet.
-
You are correct on all counts. The titles are not witty, funny, creative, or otherwise.
I'm still trying to figure out if the people posting them actually THINK they're being witty, funny, or creative. My guess is that they DO, in fact, think they are actually providing amusing posts for us to read. I weep for humanity if this is the case. -

you realize you just marked yourself for death with your own post, right?

really were worth a read compared to these...which may not be saying much, but...

I will admit a few of the Cars ones made me chuckle.
-
a hetrosexual but all the gay banter between him and the other ass-bandits,suggests he's not.
-
...and this one is that some of those are Car puns. That's what works. Even if they're awful puns (not all were, some were pretty funny) at least they're not just random phrases stuck on the end of the title. Well some were, but that's because some people completely lack the ability to determine what's funny and what's just acting like an ADD-afflicted twat.

you are so fucking stupid. All your posts look like they were written by a retard. Go fuck yourself you unoriginal, uninspiring piece of shit...OWNED

Braffed, take notes.

XFiles is just lame. Its not as fun. Although that episode with the inbred backwoods cretins was great.
-

Let the fans deal with saying "the first one" or "the second one". It's been long enough that I though just leaving it X-Files was actually kinda cool. Not at all sure about the new title. It's so... first persony. Weird.

X-FILES 2: I WANT TO BELIEVE FRANK SPOTNITZ DOESN'T WRITE FECAL
by shineboxgreen
Remember when Scully asked Mulder for his sperm so that she could have a child? Or when Mulder went on trial for his life and then CSM was living in a Native American adobe?
Yeah... Frank Spotnitz. One of the worst writers alive and I hate him. I hate him. -
IGN has a link to a photo of Mulder in his office with a newspaper clipping on his bulletin board. Squint hard: it says "FBI Arrests Alleged Werewolf ------"
-
I hope that time is not glossed over, and that we don't go too far back to the old dynamic of skeptic/believer while ignoring the series finale. I also hope that Scully got some a few times in the last few years. Carter & Spotnitz rarely impressed me as great character writers, but I've enjoyed Carter's direction.
-
I can't remember the specific episode, but it was the formulaic: Scully "No scientific evidence, blah, blah, blah" and Mulder simply asked her, "How many times have I been wrong?" Kinda a self-referencial, doubly ironic moment for the series (given Scully continued the same, tired, thought process in the following episodes). Hopefully, if this film is made for fans, Scully has learned that unexplainable shit exists, and the writers won't pretend that Scully is back in season one.
-
...that Scully's nethers smell of Irish Spring and taste like the most perfectly sweet and delicious peach pie god serves in heaven after his perfect boogeyboard steak special. The movie? Eeeehhhh, not so sure. Loved when Mulder choked that dude out who snatched Scully and took her to ski mountain though. Those episodes were the shit.
-
I AM A HUMAN BEING!!!!!
-
It's been publicized that the title has to do with Mulder's internal faith struggle, much like what Scully went through during the series. I think this title is great - plus it's meant to re-introduce the series to a new generation of fans. Give it a chance...

Has anybody picked up on the fact that this is the title for the Cai Guo-Qiang exhibit at the Guggenheim in NY? What probably happened is that marketing exec at Fox got shit-faced at the Nim's Island premiere, passed by the museum on the way home, and thought "Gee, what a bright idea!"
-
Seriously, the title is pure cringe worthy, terrible.
-
Just listen to the rythym of my heart.
-
I want to feel you from the inside.
-
And didnt really care that much 10 years again when people were blind to how shite the tv show actually was.
-
Yes, you!
-
...was a horrible title, too. But neither title is as bad when you look at them as X-Files TV episode titles as opposed to movie titles, which I think is what they are going more for.
