X File Movie opens this Weekend, Fanboys everywhere rejoice
Filed Under (Movies) by jay

Here’s an X File for you: do I even care about the new x-files movie opening today?  I can’t seem to work up any more enthusiasm than “meh.”  I was way more excited about batman last week but I haven’t been to see that yet either.  I used to be all about some X File.  I watched the show from day one until day…well, whatever day it was that they replaced Mulder with Doggett.

I didn’t see the first X File movie until about a year after it came out.  I was working the midnight shift at a grocery store (the things we do for money in college) when it came out in theaters and wasn’t getting out to the movies as often as I wanted to at the time.  I wasn’t doing much of anything other than working and sleeping.  I didn’t like the first movie.  I thought it was boring.  But in the fall, I went right back to watching the show.  The show was still awesome.

Part of me wants to return to the the old X Files characters I know and love.  Mulder, Scully, it’s like revisiting my adolescence although I hate going to the movies and will probably just tivo it when its on HBO (or buy the Wal Mart Edition for $14).  I can pretend it’s still a time when X files was awesome and I was still young (but only the good parts of being young).  But here is another X file for you: Amanda Peet?  WTF?  Maybe it’s just me.

I won’t be going out to see the new X file movie.  I’m sure that my ticket purchase will not be missed.  There are a zillion fanboys anxiously waiting for a few good Scully cleavage shots that they can go home and beat off to.  X Files is an institution and it will not want for box office revenue.
