gimmicky but exceptionally well done i thought
and terrifying when i was in 6th grade
it's weird now to think there was a time when literally everyone i knew was obsessed with this. that hasn't happened since, even with Lost or Heroes, there are just plenty of people who don't care. And weirdly i don't know a single person now who would probably still sit down and watch the X Files in reruns. I'll probably see the movie but they're going to have to really hype this and it had better get GREAT word of mouth

i know a lot of people who've come to the show posthumously, through re-runs and dvds
― latebloomer, Monday, 31 March 2008 11:08 (sixteen years ago) link
no not dead people, after the show's run, wiseguys
― latebloomer, Monday, 31 March 2008 11:09 (sixteen years ago) link
anyway, it's cool that this is a standalone movie and all, i just hope the monster or whatever isn't some lame angry ghost or an evil psychic.

About my reaction. From a cagey Chris Carter interview:
The scene on the monitors is one that will later appear in trailers for the film, due to open July 25. Looking surprisingly untouched by age over the last several years, special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), her signature red tresses grown out past her shoulders, stand amid a snow-covered landscape talking with a mysterious man with shaggy gray hair played by Scottish actor Billy Connolly. Something unsettling is taking place, but what, exactly?
Answer, obviously: being stuck with Billy Connolly somewhere.

i just really, really hope there's a monster in it.

i saw a late-night rerun of X-Files about a year ago and it seemed so dated and just painful to watch. very strange how it seems to have aged so poorly.
― mitya, Sunday, 13 July 2008 15:31 (fifteen years ago) link
i dunno, i think the good episodes still stand up.
a lot of the early 90's-isms of the first two seasons are unintentionally funny now.
― latebloomer, Sunday, 13 July 2008 18:48 (fifteen years ago) link
latebloomer you should make a "mix tape" of the best x-files episodes and then i will seek them out and download them.
― s1ocki, Sunday, 13 July 2008 22:25 (fifteen years ago) link
i would really like it if they'd repackage and sell separate box sets of the mythology episodes and the standalone episodes

im not latebloomer but
JOSE CHUNGS FROM OUTER SPACE SQUEEZE/TOOMS HUMBUG CLYDE BRUCKMANS FINAL REPOSE PILOT/DEEP THROAT <<<< underrated BEYOND THE SEA

clyde bruckman episode is fuckin dope
― max, Sunday, 13 July 2008 22:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Clyde Bruckman: You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation. Mulder: Why are you telling me that? Clyde Bruckman: Look, forget I mentioned it. It's none of my business.
― max, Sunday, 13 July 2008 22:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Not latebloomer either but:
Eve Blood Anasazi Pusher Bad Blood The Pine Bluff Variant
But Clyde Bruckman might be the best one, and the second season's really consistently good.
― clotpoll, Sunday, 13 July 2008 22:57 (fifteen years ago) link
I'd add:
Ice E.B.E. Duane Barry/Ascension One Breathe Die Hand die Verletzt Folie a Deux Paper Hearts Tithonous (a sequel, of sorts, to Clyde Bruckman)
Some fans will recommend "Post-Modern Prometheus" but in my opinion AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Space's reputation as worst episode ever is truly undeserved (same for El Mundo Gira)
― Duane Barry, Sunday, 13 July 2008 23:11 (fifteen years ago) link
Humbug is the best
same dude, Darin Morgan, wrote Blood, Humbug, Jose Chung and Clyde Bruckman...and has done pretty much nothing since then
― jabba hands, Monday, 14 July 2008 01:24 (fifteen years ago) link
i've spent a lot of time this afternoon looking at x-files "best and worst episode" lists, and i'm a little disturbed to find a lot of my favorites are on "worst" lists ... see also "genderbender", "el mundo gira" and "firewalker"
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 14 July 2008 01:38 (fifteen years ago) link
My top "mythology" episodes:
E.B.E. Erlenmeyer Flask Little Green Men Duane Barry/Ascension/One Breath Colony/Endgame Anasazi/Paperclip/The Blessing Way Nisei/731 Piper Maru/Apochrypha
My top "standalone" epsisodes:
Squeeze/Tooms Beyond The Sea The Host Die Hand Die Verletzt Irresistible Humbug Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose War of the Coprophages Grotesque Jose Chung’s “From Outer Space” (single best episode, hands-down) Quagmire Home

Can we agree the one with the dude who "likes" (they didn't go all the way to making him a necrophiliac) dead people was pretty shit? Even had a "sorry this isn't actually an X-File but's it's just as scary, right?" disclaimer by Mulder at the end.

Bad Blood

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chris Carter has expressed his ambition to make one more film, if I Want to Believe proves to be a success. He suggests that this film would go back to the mythology and focus on the alien invasion, due to occur on December 22, 2012, which was revealed in the final episode of the series.[30]
shit
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 14 July 2008 02:38 (fifteen years ago) link
thew alien mythology arc shit went south after season 3 but they dug that hole so they might as well wrap it up somehow. it might work in a movie form, who knows. i liked the first movie ok.
― latebloomer, Monday, 14 July 2008 03:08 (fifteen years ago) link
i find it hard to believe anyone watched the last two seasons. no scully or mulder?
