Disappointing
Basically, a very average extended episode that could easily have been from the TV series. In fact, had they cut out all the stupid sub-plots, the main story would easily have fitted into a 45 minute slot.
I know the writers wanted to make a movie not based upon the whole mythology; but there were so many great ‘non-alien episodes’ in the series, that surely the film could have been written along those lines. Eugene Victor Tooms on the big screen would have been excellent – and very, very scary!
Anyway – what’s the point Mulder and Scully bothering? According to the TV series, we’re going to be invaded and killed by aliens in 2012.
While looking on YouTube, I found the latest trailer for the new X-Files movie.
Why on earth Scottish “comedian” Billy Connolly and gangster rapper Xzibit were cast, is an X-File in itself!
I am more than a little happy this evening. After browsing IMDB, I have learnt that the brand new X-Files movie WILL be released this summer! Oh-my-fucking-God! I know it sounds incredibly sad, but I cannot emphasis enough how excited I am about the return of The X-Files.
I was already counting down the days to Indiana Jones, Batman and the new Bond movie, but X-Files will surpass them all.
Time to dig out the X-Files DVDs again and re-cap some wonderful, classic moments in time for the summers release!
Read about this today and got rather excited.
The return of The X-Files sounds excellent – isn’t David Duchovny pushing 50 though? I don’t want to see a repeat of Roger Moore’s attempt to play James Bond in A View To A Kill. Gillian Anderson must be getting on a bit too, although I did see her on TV the other week (on that Princess Diana concert farce), and she looked amazing!
Check out this new project which I am working on – The X-Files Blog.
I have had the fabulous idea of digging out the old X-Files DVDs and watching Seasons 1-9 over the next few months, blogging about each episode. It’ll be a great way to write my thoughts and opinions on the episodes as I watch them, and also record X-File memories from the last 12 years.
If you are a fan of the cult series, check out the blog and leave your own comments, opinions and memories. I would love to read them.
Sparkster.net, which celebrates its 3rd anniversary next month, will remain as a general interest blog. The X-Files Blog being merely a side project.
