[...] X-Files fans are a dedicated bunch who helped the show become a phenomenon and to disappoint them is a pretty big deal. As Screen Rant’s resident X-File fan even I was a bit let down by the film. [...]

J Saul Kane! Seminal stuff! Anything from Nine Deadly Venoms always goes down well. Records under any of his monikers can be a task to find over here as well. I don’t use vinyl any more and ended up having to transfer the 12″s onto CD. Maybe I need to use the “Shaolin Buddha Finger”!

Niall, when you see the (2 part episode) with Scully in the rowboat, the Movie’s end credit scene will hit you, hard !!! (In a good way).
^
Sooner thought, “Monday”, was that your post, its hard to tell from that link,,, was that the episode where Mulder wakes up in the waterbed and walks down to the bank, in what sets up a Groundhog day event ??? That was a good one!
^
Big Dentist, yeah that track is playing during the end credits,,, (make sure you watch).
Also yeah I have some of Unkle’s cds. Have you ever heard of “Depth Charge” ?
They have some great re-mixs, but their very hard to find in the US.

Only just noticed this: Jamie, if you’re out there thanks for the nod on the Unkle track! I still haven’t seen the movie yet – I’ll keep my ears peeled when I do!

790, if you like Orbital you’d definitely go for Unkle. They’ve got a drifting lineup which has included James Lavelle, DJ Shadow and Scratch Perverts – they’ve worked with everyone from 3D of Massive Attack to the guy out of Queens Of The Stone Age. I use remixes of “Eye For An Eye” a lot in my sets with bits of film dialogue and William Burroughs thrown over the top (I do a bit of DJing, hence me wibbling on about music every now & then).

Cool. I also have all seasons on DVD. Great fun. The special features aren’t always so great, but it’s an investment in one of the best shows in the history of TV. BTW, in IWTB news, Frank Spotnitz posted a question from me on his blog about box office:

With all this talk about X-Files I went out and bought the 9 series set!

I’m currently on season 2.

Really enjoying it.

I still can’t believe that I paid $10 for a movie, which just rehashed old storylines from the series. ( and not even done well, at that). I found the pacing of the movie extremely slow.
I hope, if there is another movie, that Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz will not be part of the movie, then maybe we will get a really good thriller.

I missed the end credits scene, but I don’t think there’s any way I could go back and sit through the movie again. 2 stars in my opinion, and are we really expected to ‘believe’ that after six years of living together they still call each other “Mulder” and “Scully”? Even in bed?

The problem with XF:IWTB is that is has no “quest” to take the characters through. XF always worked best when Mulder had a quest and Scully fought him on it. Nothing like that here.

Let’s hope the next film Mulder and Scully will be given something important to do, like maybe find their son.

We’ll see – db

PS the nice song at the end during the credits is called Broken by a band called Unkle. I used sony ericsson track I.D at the end of the movie :p

Just speculation among some film fans around my part of the world–sorry–I should have made that more clear–not necessarily a credible rumor. But the box office overseas is sucking…which may doom another theatrical release even if the movie breaks even.

Sooner Thought,
whoa.
I hope thats not true.
where did you hear that?

By: SoonerThought

SoonerThought — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:15:40 +0000

Agreed. Some funny bits in there. I hear speculation that XF3 may be a TV miniseries rather than a feature film. Anyone else hear that?

Thanks Gary!

I think that the delivery of :
“I’d avoid the activities room” line in I Want To Believe was fantastic!!

Niall,
Something that I hope will make you laugh,
A quote from a british SF magazine Death Ray:”Duchovny has a reputation for a sharp biting wit.”

I have sat and pondered about this again! Although I feel that the writer(s)has let this movie down and that is only by way of giving it a flat subject story line, everything else about it was great! (Don’t get me wrong! obviously a brilliant story line is extremely important), but in no way should that mean the end of The X-Files and if another X-Files movie came out tomorrow, I would go and pay to watch it. I enjoy the whole concept of Mulder and Scully’s relationship and it would be great to see them together again. (Including good old skinner!)

OK, this is the second time I tried to post this so, if it comes up later I apologize in advance. Niall,
I dont know if humor is the right word.
I just thought the first film was more fun .
I think some of the lighter moments in the original came from Scully and Mulders interaction as partners.
For me , even when something wasnt happening I enjoyed watching their chemistry together.
This time , we had Scully in and out of the investigation and the question of them staying together as a couple .
And I thought it slowed the movie down.
you were right Niall,
It was good to see them again.
I just wanted to see them put to better use.

Humor yes – more humor. You really can’t beat Duchovny with his dry wit!
