Do You WANT TO BELIEVE This Plot Description For The New X-FILES Movie??

That's right....I said Yawn

Mulder and Scully should just fuck and get it over with. by Knuckleduster	Apr 18th, 2008 09:31:04 AM
I'd actually pay for two hours of that.
So.. by GORGUTS	Apr 18th, 2008 09:32:22 AM
Its basically an episode but they spend a good 45 minutes showing what theyve been doing and them getting together for the first time in years, solve the case and done...

hence the baby. I miss Krycek. This sounds doofy. And what the hell does this have to do with werewolves?
a tidy little plot synopsis by kafka07	Apr 18th, 2008 09:35:41 AM
cannot replace the film itself. We'll see it soon enough.
GA should guest on Californication... by Abin Sur	Apr 18th, 2008 09:36:28 AM
That would be an AWESOME episode. She's still hotter than most every other woman in genre tv today.
I missed X-Files back on its original run. by DerLanghaarige	Apr 18th, 2008 09:41:54 AM
I watched the movie, mostly because my buddy wanted to watch it and Chris Carter said that even viewers, who never saw an episode of the show would get it (Well...he lied.). Now it's on Pay TV again and I'm trying to watch it. I don't wanna say that it sucks, because it doesn't, but IMO it's kinda dated and nothing I would buy on DVD. (At least today. Probably if I would be a fan from the beginning, I would)
Goddammit! by ChestBumpingFatKids	Apr 18th, 2008 09:44:33 AM
I did the thing that I hate: I mixed up "its" with "it's." Goddammit. I feel... dirty. In a bad way.

which makes you wonder if this movie: fails.
I thought they did - hence William (Scully's kid) by Yeti	Apr 18th, 2008 09:58:38 AM
And people bitch about lightswitches in Smallville....
Urgh, I can't belive that they're going to revisit this by Sepulchrave	Apr 18th, 2008 09:59:10 AM
It's so dated now. And Gillian Anderson has completely outgrown the character. Check out the difference between dumpy ginger Skully and her part in the recent BBC Bleak House. She looks amazing now. Move on people.
Sounds fine to me by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 10:00:30 AM
Like a good horror plot out of S3. The haters on the AICN forums amaze me. And XF S1-7 are better than anything on TV today, minus Dexter, Lost, and BSG.
Believe it, Sepulchrave by slone13	Apr 18th, 2008 10:05:18 AM
I shall not move on, either.
Oh shit, rural Virginia. This might be fun. (At least for me.) by Shermdawg	Apr 18th, 2008 10:07:55 AM
The Bruce Campbell episode was set in my area, and were as close to rural as you're gonna get in the state, so it should be quite a experience checking out the midnight showing with the locals.
BORING by BringingSexyBack	Apr 18th, 2008 10:11:15 AM
That's it?! I can watch a Law and Order SVU episode and get a better plot. Where's the alien invasion? Where's Michael Chertoff's head morphing into an alien and FEMA taking dominion over the nation? Crap!
"It's so dated now." by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 10:12:27 AM
Yeah XF is pretty dated. I remember back when XF was still airing... way back in a post-9/11 era where 24 was on FOX, and Bush II was President. Yeah.. waaaaay back in the day.
Ashok0... by Kid Z	Apr 18th, 2008 10:20:28 AM
...Yeah, but thanks to Pres'dint Dumbf***, the past 7 years have aged the USA by at least a half a century or so. Christ, went to tank up today and gas was $3.50 a gallon... can we impeach YET?!!? Yeah, I know... sorry for the politics...
A casualty of the 90's. by Sithtastic	Apr 18th, 2008 10:21:37 AM
I haven't read this TB, so pls pardon me if any of this is repetitive. The X-Files is largely a casualty of overblown black helicopter paranoia from the 1990's. It's dried up and it shows. As an aside, I really like the actors involved and always wanted to see them break out of their respective television cliches, but it seems neither has had that much luck.
I'd see this no matter what it was about by PotSmokinAlien	Apr 18th, 2008 10:21:51 AM
Seriously, I'm not one to get all amped about nostalgic shit, but I watched the show because I liked Mulder and Scully. If the story that week was good, well, so much the better, but even the dumbest Scully/Mulder era episodes were usually pretty enjoyable. (maybe not that one where Scully is possessed by the tattoo...) The plot of this second movie is a real distant second to the fact that the motherfuckers are back in action at all.
Come on, guys!!! by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 10:24:30 AM
Seriously, how can ANYONE say that "Jose Chung's From Outer Space", "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose", or "Bad Blood", or "Home" is dated 90s stuff or cliche. It was flat out KILLER writing!
I will see this but.. by Beezbo	Apr 18th, 2008 10:25:44 AM
I have a feeling that it will get buried this Summer. Too many bigger movies and it has been too long since the last film. I think this should have come out in the Spring, as an alternative to crap like "Prom Night."
hell yeah Ashok by spidercoz	Apr 18th, 2008 10:30:34 AM
Jose Chung was one of the best eps of anything ever.
So, X-Files is dated, but cartoons from the 80's are not? by hank henshaw	Apr 18th, 2008 10:31:26 AM
Besides, if the X-Files is so dated why are there so many current tv shows (Lost, Heroes, Supernatural, etc.) that undoubtedly have TXF as inspiration? The problem with the X-Files has always been Chris Carter, the man had a good idea, but after a certain point he didn't know what to do with it anymore. I hope he delivers with this movie
SO by Series7	Apr 18th, 2008 10:31:49 AM
Xzibit got a part and Billy Connolly got a part. But the lead singer of Filter's brother could not get a part? Was he killed off before the show ended? I mean T-1000 is in more movies then he is not in.
OmG. Another X -Flop movie? by F U Popeaphile	Apr 18th, 2008 10:39:33 AM
Weren't the shows bad enough?
This movie has to take on TDK's 2nd weekend right? by Robots In Das Guys	Apr 18th, 2008 10:49:50 AM
Yikes. TDK has the potential to be pretty big. I hope this movie makes enough money for a 3rd one. Regarding the plot: It sounds like it is going to be a basic movie, no big visual effects or action set pieces. So, I suppose it's going to be more of a character driven movie...
First movie was excellent...and this actually sounds good! by SketchaMPM	Apr 18th, 2008 10:49:53 AM
The first movie was awesome, that cannot be denied. This plot summary actually gave me a tiny sigh of relief. It sounds promising.
Sweet, back to monster of the week. by Brunomac	Apr 18th, 2008 10:51:34 AM

And, only a little bit of appearance by Lone Gunmen.. by Brunomac	Apr 18th, 2008 10:53:34 AM
..please. I like them, but it's no good when they get too much focus. Refer to the horrible spin-off they got.
Lost, Heroes, Supernatural are all X-File ripoffs by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 10:53:48 AM
Granted, I like LOST alot better than X-Files, brotha... but I agree with hank, XF is the grandfather of pretty much every modern scifi/horror genre series. If LOST and BSG are David Fincher, then X-Files is Hitchcock.
Btw, before this was a MOTW, AICNers where whining about aliens. by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 10:55:19 AM
I seem to recall all the AICN elite whining about how dated all the conspiracy/alien/UFO stuff was. Now that it's a confirmed MOTW, people are still whining. What gives?
that may or may not be by stamper	Apr 18th, 2008 11:02:55 AM
Yawn kill the series.
Californication movie with Gillian Anderson by stamper	Apr 18th, 2008 11:06:15 AM
Now, I would pay to see that, not that tired x files crap (unless Mulder & Scully are captured and sent to NY which have become a maximum security prison to rescue the president).
Ashok0 - have you never heard by filmcoyote	Apr 18th, 2008 11:15:47 AM
of The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits? To suggest X-Files is Hitchcock to Lost's Fincher is nuts. Twilight Zone and Outer Limits are Hitchcock to X-Files' Fincher (90s rise). Lost would be Gregory Hoblit!
X-Files is classic by MattmanReturns	Apr 18th, 2008 11:16:55 AM
Get out of here with that "dated" shit. Star Trek: TOS is dated too, but it's still classic and fun to watch. I hate people that only like "new" stuff.
(((sigh))) by Toxxi87	Apr 18th, 2008 11:18:25 AM
'the x files is soooo dated' What utter shite. The first three seasons look very much of it's time,I'll grant you, but after that? Nope,hasn't aged a day.Why? Because it was ahead of it's time,it set the bar for shows today, it's blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain cell. Oh and by the way I'm not a 'nostalgic viewer',I'm 19 and I know plenty of people of the same age who love and enjoy the show.So please...Go.Away.
nice one by mrbong	Apr 18th, 2008 11:29:09 AM
very few TV shows maintained the level of interest that X Files did. things like Lost and Heroes are just utter shit and forgettable. when the two of them end on a dismal note, and there is no way that they can end any other way, i shall be proved right. at least X Files exploited a then non-mainstream idea.
How can it be a wild goose chase... by aversiontherapy2	Apr 18th, 2008 11:40:56 AM
if it lead them somewhere?
filmcoyote by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 12:05:35 PM
I see your point, but I was trying to correlate serialized shows. X-Files and LOST are serialized, hence I correlated them. Twilight Zone and Outer Limits were both anthology series.
And mrbong by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 12:06:51 PM
1. I am a huge XF fan. 2. I find it bizarre that you would trash Lost because you don't think it will end well. I mean, LOST S4 had been great and the show has a fixed end date. And XF S9 was utter trash. Anyone who enjoyed XF S9 was clearly not a true fan.
if the X-Files is sooo dated... by Gabba-UK	Apr 18th, 2008 12:07:02 PM
then I'm fucked. All I have to say about that... dated! Honestly, I dispair at times.
Awesome by LT	Apr 18th, 2008 12:19:12 PM
I'll watch it several times, if only to enjoy the hotness that is Gillian. To say that X-Files is dated is to be divorced from reality.
Underwhelmed by Parabolic	Apr 18th, 2008 12:25:17 PM

Baywatch Nights: I Want To Believe by Gozu	Apr 18th, 2008 12:33:40 PM
David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson reprise the roles that made them famous. They might have closed the beach years ago, but when a series of unexplained kidnappings occur in rural Virginia, Mitch Buchannon and C.J. Parker come out of retirement and are on the case.

the first poster got it right by toxicbuddha	Apr 18th, 2008 12:40:27 PM
This movie is the biggest So Fucking What of the year. The show consistently failed to ever have any sort of pay off (anyone else remember the two hour season premier where they FINALLY find unequivocal proof of aliens in the form of the space ship, then never again mention said ship for the rest of the series? The first movie from A DECADE ago was a waste of two hours. I'll save you all eleven bucks: He saves her ass w/o expressing his love, they foil the plot of the Men In the Shadows yet any actual proof of a hidden agenda is either non existent or destroyed, and the closing shot is a pan of some huge alien influenced complex full of three headed embryos while creepy piano music plays.
toxicbuddha by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 01:00:27 PM
1. The first poster is a troll. 2. "The show consistently failed to ever have any sort of pay off" Wrong. The show did PAY OFF. The "Full Disclosure" episodes in Season 6 *FREAKING EXPLAINED THE ENTIRE PLOT* The problem with X-Files is that after the Full Disclosure eps (Two Fathers/One Son), there was virtually no reason to leave the show on the air. It would be like the LOST writers getting everyone OFF the island, then explaining the numbers and Smokey and Jacob but renewing LOST for 3 more years. 3. "the two hour season premier where they FINALLY find unequivocal proof of aliens in the form of the space ship" Huh? They do find a UFO in the Biogenesis episodes. And Krycek later goes UFO hunting later in the series in Requiem. It might help if you watch the show. 4. "they foil the plot of the Men In the Shadows " The new movie is a MOTW, so again. No.

I was too young to have enjoyed the X-Files... by ccchhhrrriiisssm	Apr 18th, 2008 01:21:04 PM
...during its initial run. I tried watching a few episodes during the final season, but I just felt like I was lost. However, the film incarnation was GREAT! I enjoyed the first film immensely, and I hope that this one might rekindle some of that feeling. This sounds corny, but I WANT TO BELIEVE that this film will perform well at the Box Office. ;-)
Btw, can anyone honestly say that "Triangle" is "dated"? by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 01:22:43 PM
Because my God, if "Triangle" isn't one of the most well directed and gorgeously filmed episodes of a recent television series.

Agreed,'triangle..' by Toxxi87	Apr 18th, 2008 01:52:14 PM
Is a wonderful episode.My personal favourite from the sixth season.(standalone wise,anyway)Absoloutely lush.I think it was one of the first episodes I ever saw,pretty late at night too,unfortunately. On a side note, to those of you posting about how much you don't care about xf2, would you be so kind as to go off and not care somewhere else?

USELESS story by BetaSword	Apr 18th, 2008 03:15:42 PM
err, so basically, we get(storywise) an Regular X-Files movie? And what about the Invasion? If they're not to find a weapon( which i doubt, that they find one), the whole movie is just saying USELESS to me, since everything, that actually happens doesn't really matter, when we face extinction from an upcoming Invasion. If this Story is going to get used, then I wouldn't either visit a Theatre nor I'm wasting my Money on a DVD(purchase/rental). Man i wouldn't even download it, if it were free, having such a useless Story.
Frank Spotnitz can lick my ballsack. by SHINEBOXgreen	Apr 18th, 2008 03:27:59 PM
Like I posted on the other XFiles thread, Frank Spotnitz is the reason this movie is going to kinda-almost-suck. I mean, the first movie was OK, despite the whole aliens bursting out of chests cliche'. But after ending the show with Mulder on trial for his life (ala Seinfeld) and then CSM, with his long hair and Indian chick, gets blown up in a Mexican adobe, and then Mulder and Scully run off to Canada... Really? You think you just jump back into it like nothing sucked before?

I love it when people judge a movie from its subtitle or its rea by CeltMonkey	Apr 18th, 2008 03:52:49 PM
Freakin' sad. I've rewatched the show over the past year and am totally in love again. Seasons 1 and 9 are the weakest I think - there are a couple of great episodes (more of them in 1 than 9), but the rest feel like filler. Seasons 4-6 = some of the best television EVER.

It was only a few months ago by Larry Sellers	Apr 18th, 2008 04:05:56 PM
when everyone was excited about Carter revealing the plot to be a return to the less complicated stories of the earlier episodes. Now every other poster is complaining "So it's just a 2 hr episode???? No aliens???" Fickle fuckers.
Thank you mr_sinister7381 by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 04:31:47 PM
I don't know what's up with the negativity. Seriously, I don't know what the heck is wrong with S1-7... fantastic TV if you ask me. If you're going to complain, go flame a series that really does suck, like Cavemen, or Cashmere Mafia, or Lipstick Jungle, or something.
Btw I hope this movie does REALLY good so... by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 04:32:19 PM
...maybe Carter will make us a Millennium movie with John Locke and Bishop!!!
Larry Sellers by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 04:34:30 PM
If the synopsis was mythology oriented, every other poster would be saying: "What??? No classic horror vampires/werewolves/creepy inbred killers? Meh."

I'm afraid in the middle of this bombastic by skimn	Apr 18th, 2008 05:43:54 PM
budget heavy summer, this will make a sound like a pindrop. This sounds more like a mood piece that should be held till September. PS Does Mulder run around in a bear costume, beating people up?..Sorry saw Wicker a couple of weeks ago, and that image is seared in my brain dammit.
Can't Wait by DefyThis	Apr 18th, 2008 06:04:54 PM
Watched from Squeeze in season one - didn't miss an episode until the end. A standalone movie rather than mythology makes sense at this point, although hopefully it leads to a final movie/mini-series, or a Next Gen series about whatever powers William has. Btw seasons 8 and 9 are seriously under-rated as is Robert Patrick. I know a large portion of the net fanbase had a never-ending hardon for DD (I was back on the Delphi forums before FOX had anything worthwhile, so the image of whiny shippers and noromos is still fresh in my mind), and rightfully so - Mulder/Scully made the series - but compare the final two years to the X-Files Comedy Year that was Season 7 (when the writers started believing TV Guide when it said the show was better at being funny than most comedies and David Duchovney started mailing in his performances). It's night and day - in season eight the show got scary again. I've been watching seasons 6- 9 on DVD (just started 9) for the first time since back in the day and damn they hold up well outside of the second half of season 7. Kathy Griffin on The X-Files. Someone abduct me and take that memory away! Rant over. Bring us a decent movie, and a follow-up/proper close to the show... or a NextGen concept.

No Gillian Anderson side-boob? by Dr Lisa Cuddy	Apr 18th, 2008 06:23:06 PM

Season 7 still had some great episodes by performingmonkey	Apr 18th, 2008 06:31:41 PM
Yes, the overall story pretty much went to shit after season 6, but 7 had plenty to offer regardless. I like The Amazing Maleeni, even moreso since Ricky Jay, the real-life magician who played Maleeni, was in The Prestige (he was also a consultant on the tricks in the movie). The reason this is so cool is that the impossible trick in The Amazing Maleeni involved him having a twin, just like Christian Bale's character in The Prestige. OK, there were also stupid episodes like X-Cops (shot like a COPS show) and Hollywood A.D. (a movie is made based on the X-Files).
Squeeze by skimn	Apr 18th, 2008 06:33:23 PM
was the episode that hooked me also. Would be nice for the fans if they could find cameo roles for folk like Doug Hutchison, Zeljko Ivanek, and some of the other memorable guest actors.
Scully and Mulder - Reluctant? I got the solution! by Revolution_Now	Apr 18th, 2008 06:38:18 PM
The reluctance of Mulder and Scully to come out of the FBI doghouse can only be solved by throwing bags of money at actors David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. Too bad no one will care enough to WANT to believe in this crap.
I don't mind a stand-alone story, BUT... by ScoobySnack	Apr 18th, 2008 06:57:47 PM
... this doesn't sound all that interesting. Crazy religious people are killers? Yawn. Come up with something more interesting, please. If it's going to be a stand-alone story, it has to be something seriously fucked-up like "Home" or feature a guy like Cancer Man. Otherwise, it's just a run-of-the-mill Ashley Judd thriller, except with Mulder and Scully. Oh, and I'm not diggin' Scully's long-hair, either. Makes her look haggard.
dated? by ScaryJim	Apr 18th, 2008 07:04:21 PM
I recently bought the complete set, I was sure I'd find it dated having not watched it since it aired. It surprised me in the fact that it's better than 95% of tv shows around nowadays. How anyone can profess to like Supernatural after having watched the Xfiles is beyond me, even the worst episodes from seasons 8+9 contain more originality than that show. Up until that point X files had the amazing ability to be dark, quirky, funny and even pack an emotional punch at times. I love Galactica, I loved Carnivale and I loved Firefly but they don't tick ALL the boxes that the Xfiles did - They're not worse shows for it they just don't contain the variety which I think made up the best of the Xfiles.
I agree with you ScaryJim!!! by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 07:13:45 PM
XF got pretty weak right at teh VERY end but 90% of it holds up very well next to "modern" TV. That is, if TV shows from 2002 are considered "ancient".

In all honesty, after six years of hiding. by DarkJediStoops	Apr 18th, 2008 07:48:59 PM
Surely, Mulder & Scully wouldn't give a fuck about random mysteries.
DarkJediStoops by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 07:57:41 PM
UH... actually considering that between fighting to save the world from aliens on a daily basis, they still had time to investigate sea monsters and zombies for the FBI... yeah, I'm pretty sure they would care.
Come on, Ashok0 by DarkJediStoops	Apr 18th, 2008 08:07:01 PM
They've just discovered Aliens are coming to take over the planet. Mulder has been sentenced to death. And now after six years of hiding away from all that - they decide to come back for a random case? - What's next?.. they're still calling each other Mulder & Scully.

X Files 2 should of been by DarkJediStoops	Apr 18th, 2008 08:16:03 PM

I watched 3 eps of Supernatural and stopped by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 09:01:24 PM
It was a teeny bopper joke fest. So did it ever improve, Sherm?

I agree about The Amazing Maleeni - great episode. In fact the first half of season seven was just fine. Hungry (from the monster's point of view), Maleeni, The Goldberg Variation. But then came X-Cops, Hollywood AD, Fight Club, etc. I know a lot of people loved Hollywood AD but I found it tiresome and cliche. Mind you I also find my meatloaf shallow and pedantic. DarkJediStoops - that's actually a pretty cool idea, and could still be viable as a prequel of sorts if they do it before the stars get too much older.
S7: Brand X, En Ami, Je Souhaite, and Requiem rocked by Ashok0	Apr 18th, 2008 09:22:46 PM
Actually Reqiuem is one of my all time favorite episodes of X-Files.

Season three... (Heeeat of the moment.) ...has been... (Heeeeat of the moment.) ...FANTASTIC. (Heeeeat of the moment.)
But yeah, it's still is heavy on the humor at times. by Shermdawg	Apr 18th, 2008 09:35:37 PM
But that's alright... (Heeeeat of the moment.) ...because some of the best X-files episodes were... (Heeeat of the moment.) ...the funny ones. (Heeeeat of the moment.)
Season 7 was worse than season 9... by hank henshaw	Apr 18th, 2008 10:01:32 PM
...but not by much. Mainly because season 7 had First Person Shooter and Fight Club. 2 Horrible episodes (worst in the entire run of the show in my opinion). Chimera, Sein und Zeit, Closure, Signs and Wonders, Goldberg Variation and Amor Fati weren't that good either. There's also the problem that Duchovny made Mulder very unlikable with his phoned-in performance. The problem with the last season is that most episodes were just tired.
Only thing dated about the X-Files by samsquanch	Apr 18th, 2008 10:41:49 PM
Are the size of Scully's shoulder pads in the first season, and the giant cell phones. Other than that, I'd rather watch the worst Mulder and Scully episodes than almost anything on primetime today, with the exception of Lost, Dexter, BSg, and maybe one or two others.
Supernatural has a certain redneck charm... by samsquanch	Apr 18th, 2008 10:42:46 PM
Love the music. I haven't bothered to watch any recent episodes, however...

Why is it always a PRIEST? by uss cygnus	Apr 18th, 2008 11:00:00 PM
No Rabbi's have ever gone bad? No Mullahs? I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'. Not all priests are pedophiles, not all mullahs are terrorists. Cheap plot writing.
Is the priest a pedophile? by samsquanch	Apr 18th, 2008 11:03:17 PM
There are other ways for a holy man to be disgraced. I know it's old-fashioned, but maybe he's just a drunk. Don't jump to conclusions, Cygnus! That's so unlike you!
So, the thing about the priest... by Ravetin	Apr 19th, 2008 12:37:03 AM
...is what happens after the first 90 minutes explaining how the fuck M&S would be back in the employ of the government after the events in the series finale...right?

of course by ScaryJim	Apr 19th, 2008 06:55:55 AM
They should have done the future Invasion - theres not a whole lot of point in this being stand alone, I don't think it will win any new fans. Perhaps they didn't have enough money , perhaps Carter thinks if this does well they can come back and do the invasion... No way is season 9 better than season 7. Hollywood AD was ace. I never liked the funny episodes first time round, always thought they were a waste. Watching the series the second time round the mythology became a lot more coherent too.
Looks like David and Carter need some cash. by Yoda's Ball Sack	Apr 19th, 2008 10:57:10 AM
Let the X files die already. The dream is over.
So it's a 2 hour high production episode. cool by messi	Apr 19th, 2008 12:50:23 PM
i don't mind. detective case etc.
Ashok0 by mrbong	Apr 19th, 2008 02:07:17 PM
off hand, i do not recall S9 of XF mate. i remember some lame episodes, so yeah, that was probably that. as for Lost, it was sold to me as a "masterpiece", but i gave up after a couple of episodes of S2 - it is directionless and meaningless, yet seems to have convinced normal, intelligent people that it is brilliant and they all seem to think they know what they are doing. they don't - like Prison Break, for instance, it was a 1 season gig that got so popular they expanded it, and boy does law of diminishing returns spring to mind. that said, each to their own, playa, dig what you dig.
mrbong by Ashok0	Apr 19th, 2008 07:48:58 PM
1. XF Season 9 was a disaster. After David left the show, it was clear that Chris Carter had no idea what the heck he was doing. And killing the Lone Gunmen and Scully giving away William = LAME. 2. LOST S2 was "directionless" at the very beginning. But, unlike shows like Prison Break that spiral out of control, the LOST writers pulled the show together brilliantly towards the latter half of Season 2. And LOST S3 and S4 have been friggin' amazing. And to top it off, LOST has been mapped out to its very end. There are exactly 40 episodes left until the very end, and the entire show it already moving towards its endgame.
Anyone know if any other X-regulars will appear? by kevred	Apr 19th, 2008 09:27:45 PM
I know we've got those insipid-looking new agents (tell me, if new characters aren't played be people who will draw a new audience, why not use the old actors?), but does anyone have CONFIRMATION of whether any more of the old crew will appear? I see Pileggi in the cast list on IMDB, but I thought there was some debate about whether he was actually involved. Watching just Mulder and Scully for 2 hours would be perfectly fine entertainment, but after all this time, it's a natural fan reaction to want the plot to thicken and start drawing more of the old cast out of retirement.
gotham_night, I like that take on it. by kevred	Apr 19th, 2008 09:33:10 PM
Hopefully they'll make it as fun and fan-indulging as a sweeps episode would be. Though I wonder--how will the movie resolve? Even though it's a "standalone" story, detached from all the mythology, what will it take for the story to leave us all satisfied at the end, and not left hanging in a bad way? That may be a tall task.
Emma Watson turned 18 this past week by zacdilone	Apr 20th, 2008 12:58:50 AM
So you fanboys can breathe a sigh of relief.
Ashok0 by mrbong	Apr 20th, 2008 01:22:47 AM
1. oh, that was that series, was it? yeah, i think everyone kind of saw that as bad. i wasn't as against the T1000 being in XF as most seem to be, but much like Timothy Dalton as Bond, if they don't get decent stuff to work with, they are not going to shine. 2. you are clearly a Lost fan, man, so nice one for you. when the whole thing is done i'll give it another try with the box sets, fair enough? as a writer (journo, nothing fancy) one learns to pick up when people are slumming it, and L2 was slumming it i'm afraid. 3. how do you put a space between paragraphs on this forum? can't work it out mate.

About as generic as a storyline as you can get by FlandersBum	Apr 20th, 2008 05:17:03 AM
Why would Fox bother to even take it down. It basically amounts to 'strange crap is happening and Mulder and Scully are on the case!'. Wow, huge spoiler there.
Yoda's Ball Sack by Ashok0	Apr 20th, 2008 10:31:53 AM
David is making tons of cash from Californication. He obviously wants to do The X-Files movie because it is an interesting project and franchise a rabid fan base.
Yeah, but the fat ugly girls will see this anyway by Fireproof	Apr 21st, 2008 01:32:55 AM
That's the core of Duchovny's fandom - a hen brigade of chubby bleached blondes with black roots who worship the earth he condescends to walk on. I saw a video on the web that some chick took at the Comicon of a special flick the XF producers put together, and it was a bunch of clips of cuddly-wuddly Mulder and Scully moments, and unfortunately you can hear the sound and I swear the woman photographing the special flick was having an orgasm. Seriously. That would jack off some people, I guess, but I found it freaking embarrassing. So you see, kids, it doesn't matter how Chris Carter subtitles this sequel, Duchovny's chick brigade and Anderson's lezbo fanbase will rush to see it. As for the rest of us one-time XF fans, meh. Been there, done that, wore out the T-shirt hell of a long time ago. Why would I pay 8 bucks to see a 2-hour episode when I can buy 3 classic XF eps out of the VHS bargain bin at Wal-mart?
