New X-Files Movie this Summer! Get Your Tin Foil Hats Ready!

I'm not naming names, but a few MamaPop betches/nerds were mightily excited this morning to find out that the title for the second X-Files movie has been released. *coughcoughTraceyKellycoughcough*

On July 25th, The X-Files: I Want to Believe will open in theaters and the internet will probably be very quiet that day as conspiracy theorists and other assorted dorks will be standing in line at the local multiplex. Of course, the title comes from the poster that Fox Mulder hung in his office. *pushes up glasses*

And that's...about all we know about the movie at this point. The filmmakers have given out practically no clues about the plot, only to say that it's not about aliens. Chris Carter did say that it's an "earth-bound story aimed at both serious 'X-Files' fans and newcomers."

Hmm. Head betch Amy sent me a link to this "famous" story about some Russian skiiers who died very mysteriously. The wiki flags all kinds of issues with the story and it was recently discussed on Metafilter where some astute folks smelled a viral marketing campaign for a possible X-Files plot. Iiiiiinteresting.

 

If the incestuous homicidal maniac story hadn't been done to death by schlocky, high-budget slasher/torture pr0n flicks in recent years, I would root for a film-length version of season 4's "Home" episode, because that was, by far, the scariest thing I had ever seen on TV. (This was obviously long before Flavor of Love.)

But whatever the plot is, we can look forward to Mulder's smirk, Scully's skepticism, and their infuriatingly redundant conversations.

"Scully, we are performing in a cinematic representation of our wildly popular television serial and reprising our characters from our first theatrical venture in 1998."

"Mulder, are you saying that we're doing a sequel to our movie?"

"Yes. Wanna make out?"

"I can't, my implant's bothering me and I have to hide my pregnancy."

I also want to thank Chris Carter for pointing that The X-Files premiered 16 years ago and that I am pretty much old as dirt.

"Twin Peaks" was officially the scariest show I was able to sit through, "The X Files" made me want to double-check all the doors and sleep with the lights on so I never watched more than one episode. It's all on DVD now, right? *Runs off to update Netflix cue*

Oh, how I used to love watching X-Files while I smoked a bowl and ate turkey pot pies after work. I watched 'Conduit' and 'Ice' quite a few times and just got SO FREAKED OUT and had to eat quite a few cookies to get over the freakiness.

Kelly, the Flavor of Love comment was CUHLASSIC! (Because it's true!)
