@Randy - Okay, yeah, I suppose that is true about the medical freakishness of it all. :)

@Rick Beckman - I agree with you that much was left to be desired for it to be thorough x-files. However, the double headed monster dogs, illegal organ harvsting and full body transplants are the stuff of conspiracy nightmares ... that's definitely x-file-ish.
Thanks for the help on Comment Luv. I will try it out later when I have time to jack around the css and stuff. I am not a geek but know enough to be dangerous.

The bottom line is that the script writers seemed to have exchanged the conspiracies of the TV show for just about *every* controversial thing out there today. When throwing all that controversy together, I wonder if they were hoping no one would then notice that the only X-Filesâ€"esque element of the case was a person who claimed psychic ability. Aside from that, it was a crime/mystery drama that, in my opinion, should not have had "The X-Files" name applied to it.

@Sarah -
It's awesome that you got to see the making of X-files first hand. Great memories I am sure. I am a little jealous. Once again, I loved the series.

The X-files used to be filmed in my home town.
I had a lot of fun with the crew!
I met Scully and her daughter Pipper (at the time Pipper barely started to walk...) what a little girl Pipper was...man, that was a long time ago. At the time I was in High school and would often skip school to watch them film.
One time I even walked past security into the extra's tent and had coffee and snacks with one of the main extra's I had befriended.
Another friend of mine had acted on the show and we watched unedited versions of X-files on home video's....we got to see the bloopers! They were actually better then what had orginally made the cut.
I think X-files had always been an interesting show. I hadn't known about this movie but I'd have to say the X-files First Season is probably better then other seasons. I don't know about this movie, perhaps I won't be watching it. The review doesn't make me want to go see it.

OK, I didn't read the movie review, but was inspired by a line in your blog to comment :)
Yesterday, Roy & I were perusing the little downtown area where we live, and a store had a tank top that said "This is how I roll" on it with an image of a huge roll of toilet paper :)

@Scott Watt -
Yup. Go see it and let me know what you thought about it. I would be interested in fellow x-file fan reactions.

The Dark Knight was a great flick too :). I want to see it *again* before I even try to attempt to review it. It is amazing.

Sounds like I'll go see The Black Knight tomorrow, and wait for the TV show to come out on TV (Wait, I don't have a television... Oh well.).
Blessings!
