If wiki is to be believed, the x-files movie was delayed since 2004 (2001?), and they're still going through with it now.

The series has been off the air coming on ten years

Wha--?

(Looks it up)

...Jesus Christ, Bal, I'm ALREADY in a "my God time is slipping away from me" frame, and you had me scared for a minute there.

Six years is NOT what I would call "coming on ten years".

Quote from: Bal on July 22, 2008, 09:43:05 AM

and the last movie, released when the series was at it's absolute height as cultural icon, was a colossal failure.

Colossal failure in what sense? It wasn't movie of the year, but it didn't bomb.

If you mean more in terms of whether it worked as an X-Files story, though, I'm inclined to agree. Not only did it fail at that, it brought the show down with it. Once X-Files got popular, it was never quite the same.

Not only that, but the promotion has been terrible (I didn't even know it was coming out until a couple weeks ago), and it's coming out right in the middle of the strongest movie summer in probably a decade. What a pointless endeavor.

Those two things are related. Who's going to bother to promote it when it comes out the week after Dark Knight and the same week as the new Will Ferrell movie?

Anyway. I've seen pretty much everything else I want to see (except the new Will Ferrell movie and Pineapple Express), so I'll probably give it a look; why not? I wouldn't say I'm excited about it, but it's something to do.

I tend to think of X-Files ending around 99, I guess because that's the last time it was watchable. Didn't mean to set off your pacemaker, grandpa.

Absolutely everyone i know around here is planning to see the new x-files movie. We all spent like a month going through the DVD box set and came to the conclusion that season seven is probably the best, ever.

check out your local magazine stand for heavily airbrushed cover photos of Gillian Anderson

you know so she looks like a robot instead of 40

Captain Jack Harkness to become Captain America?

Currently just a rumor, but he actually might be a good fit.

Is it just me, or does The Spirit's mask look completely ridiculous?

...No, you broke it. Batman: Year One is pretty good.

And I hear good things about Ronin and Daredevil, even from the biggest Frank Miller hater I know. I should probably get around to reading those someday.

TA · « **Reply #91 on:** July 26, 2008, 12:28:25 AM »

Ehh, while not as offensively bad as most of his stuff it still struck me as pretty bland.

Which I guess isn't the same as "completely ridiculous", true.

Thad · « **Reply #92 on:** July 26, 2008, 12:55:52 AM »

I hear he was mugged in the early 1980's but haven't found a source for that.

It WOULD explain a lot.

(Nothing about it on Wikipedia. But I did go in and slap a "citation needed" on the alleged Alan Moore "tough guys" quote. Because I've seen the goddamn thing referred to in dozens of places but never once seen the full quote or a primary source. AFAIC it's approaching "640k should be enough for anybody.")

TA · « **Reply #93 on:** July 26, 2008, 12:57:40 AM »

A lot, yes, but not everything. What about the omnipresence of prostitutes?

Norondor · « **Reply #94 on:** July 26, 2008, 12:58:13 AM »

SURPRISE, everyone saw the new x-files movie but me. I profitted ten dollars and not having to see a bad movie, from the sound of it!

Maybe he was mugged by a prostitute.

Then again, I know a dude who was mugged by a prostitute, and it only BRIEFLY turned him into an unhinged Libertarian.

i want to believe was a cool title

too bad it apparently sucks

i miss x-files :(

Niku · « **Reply #97 on:** July 26, 2008, 05:05:37 AM »

i hear that i want to believe is a perfectly fine middle-of-the-road episode of the x-files that somehow ended up in 2008

but x-files is retarded so don't look at me.

prostitutes

I had to stop myself from jumping on here and posting about how he somehow manage to make the male lead a sort of prostitute as well. But you fuckers broke it. YOU FUCKERS BROKE IT!
