How about “I Don’t Want To Be Hopelessly Screwed Over Again Because The Writers Don’t Have The Skill To Tie Up All The Plotlines They Invented Along The Way And Had No Idea How to Finish”?

I think if they had wrapped up the original premise of the show and the series after 5-6 seasons, the DVD sales would have kept the series alive for the younger viewers. They just dragged that thing out for so long that the payoff wasn’t worth it.

Do you see a script released on this yet?

Will Scully get William back? Will they just forget the last three seasons?

How about the Lone Gunmen?

Okay, I don’t want to be, but I’m geeked too. Especially since I have four original X-Files dolls sitting upstairs never opened. Ebay here I come!!!!

I do miss the show, but I would bet if it were out today, all the moonbats would believe the story lines were secret messages of what is really happening..

Lame Title. I liked their original tag line - “Truth is Out there”.

"It has struck me over the last several years talking to college-age kids that a lot of them really don't know the show or haven't seen it," Carter said. "If you're 20 years old now, the show started when you were 4.

Excuse me while I go shake my cane at some whippersnappers. I'm getting the same feeling that I have whenever I see a "You must be born after this date in 1987 to buy alcohol" and realize that people born while I was in college are drinking legally.

I was a mild X-Files fan in the mid-late 90's.

But with 9/11 Trutherism and Global Warming theology very much alive in the real world, I don't find the premise welcome anymore.

"It's a natural title," Carter said in a telephone interview Tuesday during a break from editing the film. "It's a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science.

Due in theaters July 25, the movie will not deal with aliens or the intricate mythology about interaction between humans and extraterrestrials that the show built up over the years, Carter said.

Instead, it casts Mulder and Scully into a stand-alone, earth-bound story aimed at both serious "X-Files" fans and newcomers, he said.

So it's going to be about Global Warming then? Or the world government conspiracy to sell the public on a "change" scampaign? I like it. Especially in an election year.

"It has struck me over the last several years talking to college-age kids that a lot of them really don't know the show or haven't seen it," Carter said. "If you're 20 years old now, the show started when you were 4. It was probably too scary for you or your parents wouldn't let you watch it. So there's a whole new audience that might have liked the show. This was made to, I would call it, satisfy everyone."

So the new movie is going to be used to sell a boxed set of the old tv show episodes on DVD?

“I Want to Believe” somehow makes me think of hordes of Obama cultists desperately trying to keep the faith. Come to think of it, they do have much in common with devotees of UFO cults.

“Yes We Can!”

“I Want to Believe”

“Yes We Can!”

“I Want to Believe”

“Yes We Can!”

“I Want to Believe”

“Yes We Can!”

“I Want to Believe”

“Yes We Can!”
