    I think you'll be disappointed- I was. Its a movie that I would not have paid- what is it now $12.50 :o - to sit in the theater for.
    Netflix- on a lazy day- maybe

    12.50? shit...i hope not.

    Yeah- in NYC its that much- and only matinee before noon for $8 or so .

    wow...i never saw a movie in the city...that's nuts.

    At my job, they sell the passes for $8- I've been using those for the last few movies. But for this X-files movie- 12.50- and I was not happy

    OMG! I never thought there were this many people who liked this show!
    It was like a part of my childhood. I think I'm going to have to buy the DVDs and watch them all again.
    The one I watched last night (I think?) was called "The One". It was a bout a kid who could read minds, and he was a chess prodigy (not because he was good, but because he knew what his opponents were thinking).
    Anyone remember it? It was pretty good.

    did anyone else loove when they threw in a random comedic ep? like small potatoes, or the guy who could see when people died. actually that one was more bittersweet, but still had some funny lines. or the one about the small town filled with vampires?

    as for the second movie...SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

    Here they come....
    I didnt like how it was more like an episode of law & order. where was the paranormal stuff?? so a guy's head had to be grafted on another body? ooohhh, i've got chills already! And the whole thing about stem cell research? and the pedophile priest? very timely christ carter, but this is supposed to be about the paranormal! gov conspiracys! hell, i'd even have settled for a cattle mutilation. ps, just loved when dr. scully googled "stem cell research" in order to find out more about it. doctors: they're just like us! and don't even get me started on xibit and the other chick..why were they there? you know what this movie couldv'e used? an appearance by the lone gunmen. oh yeah, they were killed off in the final season. thanks again, writers!!
    deep breath.....rant over. sorry guys. :?

    any mention of mulders porn collection was always funny too. jose's chung from outer space is one of the best. mulders scream/yelp is one of the funniest moments in all of tv. makes me laugh just thinking about it.

    my wife & i are both big fans of the X-Files. we started buying the season used @ 1/2 Price Books whenever we saw them up for sale. (b/c they cost about $40 @ best buy!) anyway, we have seasons 1-5 and are watching them all the way through. i thought i was a big fan, but there are a lot of episodes that i either didn't see & can't remember watching. it's fun, though. we watch a couple of episodes a week & now we're almost done w/ season 3.

    half price books=good times!
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    This was my favorite show for years but it really ran out of steam towards the end. I stopped watching it at all the last season. I just couldn't get into it at all without Mulder. Without the team of the two agents the show just didn't seem to work. It lost a lot of the humor and imagination too.

    I actually went to an xfiles convention once. They had a producer of the show there talking about stuff behind the scenes. Lots of geeks. It was awesome.

    I liked the 2nd movie.

    I do think it could have been better, but for the most part I think it was great!

    I went to one too. Burbank, CA. I had a friend who knew Doug Hutchison who was in the episodes Squeeze and Tooms. Anyway, we hung out in his hotel room and played poker after the con.

    Anyway, Doug was filming Con Air and was going to take us down to the set, but that never materialized.

    I bought seasons 2 and 5 at HMV when they were on sale for $20 bucks, but now they're back up to $50/season.

    Great show, especially the first 6 seasons. After that it got kind of contrived and less original.

    ok, that Tooms guy was one freaky dude. Almost as freaky as those in-breds that kept their mother under the bed.
