X-Files: I Want to Believe: Sadly, a Disappointment
You can count me among the fans — but not the super-fanatics — of The X-Files when it aired in the '90s. I may not have been as insane about it as others, but I kept up with the weird, spooky drama and I looked forward to new episodes. Plus, Gillian Anderson's character, Dana Scully, is a strong, female sci-fi heroine of sorts, and I really looked up to her at the time.
How Well Do You Know the X-Files?
Here we are, 10 whole years after the last X-Files movie and fans of the show will finally get another (perhaps last?) taste of two of the most beloved sci-fi characters of our time: Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. While X-Files: I Want to Believe is supposed to be a stand-alone story (so, you don't have to know the whole history of the show to enjoy it), I still think we could all use a little brush-up on our X-Files trivia.
If you, too, are hearing that spooky theme music in your head, take my quiz!
Better Together Than Apart
Be it TV or movies, some pairs and trios create more magic together than they do apart. Sometimes a person's entire career is thanks to someone else with whom they do great work. And sometimes a new pair is born right before our eyes — like the combination of Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., arguably the key factor in Iron Man's success.
The Fox Fall Schedule: My Take (With Video!)
Fox just revealed its Fall and mid-season schedules, including the addition of big new sci-fi dramas, the return of 24 (complete with that two-our prequel airing in November) and a new comedy. Now that I've had a chance to think about the schedule and watch some clips, here are my thoughts:
- In the Fall, Tuesday night will be pretty darn cool with the return of House followed by the new J.J. Abrams thriller Fringe.
New Trailer for The X-Files: I Want to Believe
OK, X-philes, ready for the most exciting one minute and 30 seconds of your day? There's a new, official trailer out now for the upcoming X-Files movie and it's pretty great. There's more of what we saw in the teaser trailer (Billy Connolly being spooky, people frantically digging in the snow, etc.) but there are also more details and the creepiness factor has been upped.
PaleyFest: Mad Men and X-Files Close Out the Week
The Paley Festival has officially wrapped up its two-week stand in Los Angeles, closing out its run with panels featuring the creators of The X-Files and the cast and creative team behind Mad Men. While I'm sorry I couldn't be there for myself, at least there are video highlights to share!
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson didn't attend Wednesday night's X-Files panel, but that doesn't mean there wasn't scoop to be had about the upcoming movie.
First Glimpse of the X-Files 2 Teaser Trailer
Sure, this bootleg video of the X-Files 2 teaser trailer is low-quality and full of "X-phile" audience members screaming like banshees, but still — it's our first glimpse at the X-Files 2 movie! I look forward to A) a real version of the teaser trailer, and B) a full-length trailer, but for now this video — grabbed at the recent WonderCon — will have to do. It's definitely exciting to see Mulder and Scully back together in this spooky world, so to check out the video, read more
The X-Files Sequel: Fewer Aliens, More Ghosts
Not only did some new production stills come out today for the X-Files sequel, but new details about the plot have been revealed. Or, more specifically there are details about what's not going to be included in the next X-Files movie: mythology.
According to USA Today, this next movie "will dump the long-running 'mythology' plotline — that aliens live among us and are part of a colonizing effort — that made it one of the most popular television shows in the late 1990s but ultimately drove away some viewers who found it too complex and ambiguous."
