Shit, I didn't mean to leave so much empty space. Until it's edited out, think of it as a little chance to reflect.

As much as I gripe about all movies being remakes, sequels, and TV shows, I'd actually go see another X-Files movie. I loved the show,* and I even liked the first movie.

*I gave up on the show before it ended, but only by about a year and a half.

Like most US series, it drug on for far too long. Hollyweird types should take after their British counterparts and limit shows to two or three seasons.*

*British soaps do tend to go on forever, but the best dramas and comedies usually end before they get stale.

The problem is that Chris Carter did not have a clue where he was going with the mytharc shit. Smoking Man, Deep Throat, all of those characters were interesting and mysterious early on but after the second or third time that he kinda hit a reset button because he had no game plan, it was like "oh hell, can't we have a monster-of-the-week episode instead of this crap?" It just got stupider and stupider as the show dragged on and when Mulder left and even Scully was not around all the time, there was no point in watching at all. And the way he ended it was pure garbage. Carter is an asshole anyway though. Nobody watched his horrible show about the Lone Gunmen so he gave the fans the bird and killed the characters off on the X-Files.

For once, I would like to see a made-from-TV movie that mimics a stand-alone episode, ignoring the arcs completely. Screw the actor's obvious aging and plunge in full steam ahead.

Oh, jeez. I mean, back in the day, I was as huge an X-Files fan as you could find, but . . . no, please, no, let it lay where Jesus flang it. I just don't see any way that digging up the corpse and banging on its chest a few times is going to work.

I'll probably see this unless the word of mouth is that it completely sucks.

But you know this movie wouldn't be getting made if Duchovny and Anderson had had decent post-X-files careers...
