I still don’t know what to think about this title.

It sounds like a DVD special feature…I think.

Is that the title of the movie or the studio’s take on the mindset of the serie’s fans?

And for a moment, I was hoping they would bring the Peacocks back.. ‘ick’.

Oh man… sorry for getting your hopes up on the trailer. I’d forgotten only a leaked version had been out on YouTube. I was lucky enough to see it at WonderCon and thought it was actually quite good and harkened back to the series.

Working in a theater I can tell you this isn’t entirely true. Sometimes after saying long drawn out titles all day a few days in a row they just get shortened, normally it has nothing to do with the picture.

One sure fire way to tell if it is good or not is to simply ask if the attendant has seen it. You can normally tell by the way they say yes or no if it is good or not.

My test of a movie title is when you go up to the box office and you ask for a ticket, if the attendant says, HUH??; You know the title is bad. This is when you notice patrons actually retitling the movie for themselves. “Pirates of the Caribbean” just becomes “Pirates” at the box office. A better clue to how good the movie is, is how much of the move is shown in the outakes of the previews. If at the end you feel like you’ve seen the movie it’s probably not worth seeing, least at the theater anyway. Movies like “Cloverfield” could break the mold, so now it might be worth adding previews that show nothing.

I expect the film to be PG-13, but still pushing an R. But I personally dont expect to see an R rating.

I sure hope its rated R.

And yeah it is kinda funny now that you put it that way Gary.
The title sure conceals its plot…

Is everything on that show a fricken secret. Ghheshs
We X-File fans should be able to tell what’s going on as the trailers develop along. I hope? And if Carter starts a massive viral campaign like the Batman stuff, I’m gonna barf.

It will be HILARIOUS!

Well seeing as they aren’t green and not exactly men, have to agree with ‘the greys’

They are on the short side though. That much still applies.

By: Stan-Lee

Stan-Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:46:47 +0000

I agree completely 790. Like I said before, i think the title “I want to believe” fits.

I think X-files 2 sounds too much like X-men 2.

By: 790

No prob steven. But “little green men is kinda dated”.:-)

We just call um greys.

quantum of solace is a way lamer title. I actually kind of like the title. I am not an xfiles fan eithe, but the title and narketing so far has gotten me excited.

There’s a trailer for this? What do you mean Vic?

I being a die hard fan of the x-files am really excited about this movie. this movie is high on my list of must sees.

I want to like the title, but they should just keep it simply X-Files 2.

Sorry, that’s what I meant, faith in the unknown. Yes, he found it was a hoax and then later they went back, I knew all that, but I did think at one point he became the sceptic and Scully was trying to urge him back on track. So I wondered why do the something similar in a movie?

Vic put faith in little green men, not God, and I put it as ‘faith’ to mean the same. Guess should have been clearer.

No steven he didn’t loose his faith in God. He lost his faith in the truth.
The whole message of the show was “the truth is out there”.

Meaning: the truth is SO FAR OUT that you prob won’t accept it as the truth.
As the show progressed alien life was proven real then disproven then proven again to be a tool of disception.
To cover the real truth of an alien invasion.

That “I want to believe” poster was a reference to his skeptical attitude in the first season. He must have had 2 of those posters because (I believe it was) in season 6 his office was burned out.

I’m hoping the film continues along the lines of the alien conspiracy and NOT some mutated animal of the week bs.

It does sound a very whiney title. I wanna believe, I wanna!

Didn’t Mulder lose his ‘faith’ in the tv series anyway? Didn’t he find it was all a hoax and then went all Richard Dawkins on the alien ideas?

How about “X-Files: Mars Attacks!”
