The Movie I've Been Waiting For...

Is the new X-Files movie perfect? No. Is it the one I wanted to see? Yes. I would have liked better, maybe, a movie that dealt with the conspiracy and how Mulder and Scully are going to fight the colonization that's supposed to take place and instead got a two-hour monster of the week episode, but I still liked it. This was a movie made for the fans. You could watch it if you knew the show and you'd still like it and get it but if you knew the show, you'd get so much more from it. They chase after a scary monster, they argue about their relationship and they catch the monster. Bad things happen along the way, Scully looks like she might leave but she never does and (if you stayed through the credits) you saw that they got a happy ending, one of very few happy endings in the history of this show. And along the way we learned that they are actually living together (Mulder and Scully shown in bed together snuggling! That would NEVER have happened on the show), Scully actually says she has fallen in love with him! That would never have been said aloud on the show, even everyone in the room knew it. Okay, everyone in MY room knew it-I had more than a few arguments about this during the show's heyday and am proud to say that I have clearly won. Yes, it's a little late but I don't care.
Do you care about the creepy monster/serial killer? Or the pedophile priest who prays for deliverance?The performances by all concerned were good but the main thing is that it should be illegal to look as cute as Gillian does in bright blue scrubs. And David looked awful until they took that fake beard (only marginally better that the one on Matthew Fox in Lost), then he looked good.

That's all. I may have to see it again though...
