sadly i have them all, plus the first movie. and its Super Tough to pick my fav season, picking an episode is easier. but youre right, season 7 is awsome. but season 6 might be my fav season, im not sure. its got:
dreamland 1&2 - how the ghosts stole christmas - terms of endearment - monday - arcadia - the unatural - field trip
some of my favs of there. such a good season

Mininova is the crap, I love it. XD Anyway, Spooky, I have been looking around for other sites over the past few weeks (literally, because where I live states away from my friend in PA, we've been trying to find sites to download episodes from to watch together), but I can't find anything. :/ All of the ones on SurftheChannel are from Youku, and they load SO freaking slow it's not funny... There was another site, Sidereel, or something, but all the links were dead.


I would have seen the midnight showing, about an hour ago, but I didn't think I'd be up this late. ;; I'll probably go at 7PM, by then everyone will have seen it. !

Season six is a great season... it's so hard to decide. Dreamland is definitely great, it's pretty hard to beat, rofl. We'll put six and seven together and consider them as one great big, heaping pile of epic awesome.

How did you see the movie 2 days ago when it's not released until today yesterday for AUS? Sneak preview? download? If download can you PM me with the details of where it was obtained so I can watch it too?

Also season 9 was lame and I'm glad they didn't go there and I am also glad they didn't show 40 something year old's on screen naked.

Yeah, I'm downloading the entire series on mininova - it's a big freaking file

Also, I'm less enthused for the new movie now - Dana and Fox make-out I'm one of those people who never wanted them to get together I mean, I loved the sexual tension, but when that was broken... eeeeuch.

Now, the sexual tension between Spooky and Ratboy - I could watch that be broken again and again. Mmmm. Krycek kissed everyone - what a whore.

And I totally just noticed my name is Spooky. Wow. Subconsciously I may have stolen that from the XFiles. I'm a nerd. I swear it's from the Dusty Sprinfield song. Ugh.

They've shown Brad Pitt's ugly a** in a movie before... and how old is he?

Not as old a Fox Mulder in those movies lol.

Ahh I'm so excited to see it tonight. I don't even care how good it is since I was too young to ever really watch it when the series was still running, so I'm just looking forward to seeing something new for the first time. I do agree about the sexual tension thing though, it was more fun to me when we knew about their connection but didn't see it.

I think seasons 6 and 7 are my favorite though as well. If I could be a total geek, I'd like to add that disc two of season 6 is fantastic. Not one episode I don't like, so I think I'd have to pick season 6 over 7.

Hey Spooky... I'd argue that Mulder and Scully have slept together and that the "tension" is actually 'commitment issues.'

I just got back from it... I am ticked. Not even x-files themed really or feel to any of the scenes. Just stupid story with no explaining or anything and dragged out.

WELL...it was a little 'different' than i would have imagined. but still, im biased towards it, and thought it was really good. its basically an action/thriller and maybe horror. i think anyone will enjoy it. whether they watched the shows or not.

It definitely was a movie for the shippers, that's for sure. Though Im' one that is absolutely HEART about MulderxScully, I didn't like how the movie put so much emphasis on it. The plot was interesting, but I also found it quite disturbing in places... I have a feeling that there will be a fair few people unhappy about it. I must admit that I didn't enjoy the fact it was very religious, because that seems to defeat the purpose of the X-Files a little (then again, it is about believing, and I suppose you can take than in more ways than one). It definitely lead on like the suspect was a werewolf, for a while, and I was somewhat disappointed it wasn't. =( It was just very... gruesome. I was not expecting it to be like that.


And hey! What's up with the constant flow of Russian baddies? ):

I luv, luv, luv Krycek, but it's like... why are there so many Russians as opposed to... something else. ): (Who cares what a whore he is, he looks great in that leather jacket. )

dammit I need to hurry up and see this, its driving me nuts.....i love that show....the theme song has been my ringtone for 2 years, even, hahaha

I was very happy to see the Skin-man. Otherwise... well, it was as good as any mediocre episode of XF. I was pleased.


Now they need to make XFiles 3 - Dawn of the Gunman (a LGM Zombie flick... actually, I'm already working on the script, and I'll mail it off to Carter within the week, muahah).

Oh, yes, pardon me... David's *** is 3 years older. OMG so much older! Like ish totally whatever.

I liked the film. As I said in another thread, as good as an mediocre XFiles ep. I'm glad they did it nonetheless. Resurect the franshise, damnit! It's a lot better then the large majority of sh** on TV now. Particularily all that "reality" stuff. Bah.

yeah
I just felt for people who had watche dthe series right through there was no explination yes I know they ran off hid etc but why there. What happened top everyone else and stuff. It felt like I had come in on the middle of an episode or something.

The story line also sucked it almost felt like scully wasn't believeing when what did she do season 7-9

Me too. I was very excited to see Skinner make an appearance, however meager. At the beginning when Mulder and Scully arrived at HQ, I was thinking, "Oh man! I bet it was Skinner that sent for them! Come on, it has to be Skinner!" And I was soooooo upset it wasn't.


Yes! XF 3 would be grand. Did you stay for the credits?

Well so far I haven't heard anything really good about this movie. I've heard everything from "it sucked" to "it was pretty decent". Doesn't make me happy, since I was a huge X-Files fan. I'm leaving to go check it out for myself in a few minutes, though. Hopefully it's better than what you guys are saying.

I believe......

That I will have enough money to see it when it comes out! lol. *sigh* I'm so dang broke. And scully looks so pretty in the clips they show on tv.

Yeah... we sat there for the entire thing, watching the background just because the images were so mezmerizing... then those two love-birds gave us a little wave and I was all 'muah!'. Also, I was expecting Skinner to appear at the building as well... I think it would have been better had they seen him then. Oh wells.

I loved the images! Especially the waves, it really gave me chills. I didn't really understand the whole rowboat thing, that was a little confusing. It just made the movie seem like it was meant more for the MulderxScully shippers/fangirls than anything.

It really would have been better if Skinner was there. I was soooo hoping he would be, just to comment on Mulder's beard.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The whole movie just seeped with mediocrity. It would've made a decent episode, but a movie? Come on.

I agree, it really would have worked as an episode. A movie should have been deeper, and more "paranormal". It reminds of the episodes in the later seasons that stray away from the monsters and rely on humans as the subjects. What ever happened to the Flukeman? But! It wasn't bad, I would never say it was. After six years? I would have gobbled up anything.

I thought it was alright, it looked pretty low budget, but still good.

I was planning on seeing it this weekend,but I went and saw hancock instead.

I agree I never watched tho whole movie only like half of it but i though it was cool.

Me too! I think it's why I'm so very protective of a movie I didn't even particularily love... after 6 years, I needed something!!

I enjoyed it and I look forward to them making another one, but if this one isn't successful enough there wont be another one. So if you want a better X-files movie that stays true to the mythology of the series than you should support this one. And I don't think X-Files is all monsters and aliens, either. A big part of why that show did so well was Mulder and Scully and their chemistry, which the movie had TONS OF.

So yeah, hoping for another one.

I hear it bombed hard. I'm not sure what the studios where expecting, although the franchise does have its fans it has bin out of the publics mind for like a decade. Good show, bad timing, bad movie...and this will probably be the last we will ever see from the franchise.

The franchise was past its prime even if it was a good one...I'm sure a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie wouldn't hit big at the box office either. I bet if they made a Heroes movie right now it would bomb as well.

LOL!!!



Yeah The dark night made 75million and the xfiles made 10 million according to this linky

It hit hard and started digging. I watched the show with my parents from when I was a little kid and I'm still a huge fan of it today and that just kicked me in the head. I'm still just stunned from the movie and how wth it was.

Yes, there was 'tons' of chemistry but if you compare that to the show it's not even close to being the same. They changed it so much and cut out so much of the back story you're left with an orphaned story that is so out of place of the tv series you're wondering why it's under the name 'x-files'. The roles where all different from usual, the investigating was all messed up from normal and the entire 'I want to believe' line was just completely taken out of it's normal context.

If they had changed just the names and got different people to play the parts, it would have just been another bloody awful movie that would have died a long time ago. The only reason it has some rating and made some money is from the die hard x-file fans that were excited as hell going to see it.

Buffy movie would suck right now but an Angel movie would be wicked as hell. Supppose Buffy could join in somehow.

I hate how they ended the Angel series with that gigantic cliffhanger knowing we would never know how it turned out.

The only TV show movies that could do well at the box office would be recent ones and/or ones that are not plot heavy.

Come think of it The Xfiles even had a bad trailer...because unless you were a fan the trailer gave you no reason to care.

Also its been to long since the end of the series and movie alot of people who did watch the series may have forgotten it by now. Plus there wasnt much hype about it well nothing in Australia anyway all of a sudden boom there it was. Its like being slapped in the face with a dead fish

i liked it, but i thought they should of put aliens in it, but it was still way creepy

I was pretty dissapointed in it, unfortunately. We've been waiting years for this movie, and then they give us this mediocre stand-alone story that's basically an extended episode. The story itself wasn't even really that good. It wasn't really strange enough to be considered an X-File. There were some good twists here and there, and the acting was superb, but that alone can't save the movie. I'm pissed that all this time of waiting, we get a movie that has nothing to do with the main mytharc, or even hints at it. And considering how badly this movie is doing at the BO, I can't see another film being made concluding the mytharc, unless DVD sales somehow skyrocket. That's pretty much what everyone wanted to see, and that's not what was delivered at all.

They brought out season 6 of Angel in Comic version; Angel after the Fall. Along with season 8 of Buffy, directed still by Joss.

---

I think I'm still going to go see this film. Mainly because, the more people that do, the more chance it may have of getting another movie where Mulder finds Rachel.

Who is Rachel? If you mean his sister her nae is Samantha and he found her shes dead dude. season 7 "Sein Und Zeit" and "Closure". are the episodes to watch

Well, it HAS been 6 years since I last watched Xfiles

It was pretty meh. Obviously not the worst movie ever, but it's not going to bring any new fans to the franchise. The only ones who'll appreciate it are the ones who already were fans of the show.

Finally saw it tonight. Just got back from it actually. It was not quite what I'd hoped, the lack of the paranormal rather surprised me. But in the end, I didn't care. It was so great just 'catching up' with those characters. The Xfiles show is my favorite all time series, and I was a devoted fanatic ever since it originally aired. I started watching it the first season and never gave up on it, even though the switching of focus from mulder and scully to the new agents nearly killed it, and the finale not being quite what I expected.

Overall, I thought this movie was good. It WAS like watching an episode of the show. Not the best, no, but great just the same. The scenes I liked best were actually the ones with the two of them. No surprise there, I guess.

It just makes you want to see more, dammit. Like...another episode....hahaha.

I am concerned about it being a 'box office flop'. It was simply released at a bad time, with Dark Knight the king, and Step Brothers, a blockbuster comedy debuting on the same day. I sincerely hope to god chris carter and the rest don't think, well, this didn't do so good, so we shouldn't make another one.

I definetly think they need to go for a 3rd one, this time with more of a grab you by the gut plot......as this one was more like catching up with old friends, and the plot as background. Needs to be paranormal.

They COULD turn this into a highly successful movie franchise, if they give it enough effort. They did it with Star Trek.

...........God I just hope this isn't the last we see of Mulder and Scully!!!!!!!!!!!

It certinaly isn't the last I'm seeing of them... I finished downloading the entire series, and am on Wetwired as we speak. I remember watching this episode years ago and loving it... yet at the same time, thinking the LGM were creepy techy fruits... now I love 'em... muaha.

And you're right, brahman1888. It came out at a bad time - particularily because of the recent release of Dark Knight. And on that note, I hope to GOD Depp does not play the Riddler in the next movie... but that's for another thread...

I'm hoping they do make another one and that they stick to the X-Files mythology this time.

"In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chris Carter said that if I Want to Believe proves successful, he would propose that a third movie go back to the TV-series' mythology and focus on the alien invasion foretold within the series, due to occur on December 22, 2012."

Come on, that sounds awesome!

The only Angel movie I wanna see is the one where Wesley comes back from the dead and has a massively smashing tea party... and he is not allowed to be some Fred-mourning emo freak-out job! I want my fresh from the Watcher's academy, akward bumbling Wesly Wyndam Pryce! Or however yah spells it.

But that's another show and thread.

As for a third XFile movie... The only third XFile movie I wanna see is one where the LGM come back from the dead and have a massively smashing D&D-athon, where Frohike serves huevos rancheros, Byers does some manicures (he's gotta know how, he's so well groomed otherwise) and Langley can do whatever the hell he pleases, permitted he isn't dead.

Why do all the cool characters die and lame people like Spike or ... Mulder ... live?!

That's exactly what I thought, it was released at a horrible time. There were six people in the theater when I went to see it. )8 I was soooo upset.

The plot should have been more X Files oriented, it just didn't have that feeling of real mystery to it. They've done the psychic thing before, so it wasn't exactly a new thing. But the controversy in the characters was really... wow. Gay marriage, pedophile priest, human experimentation, stem cell research? It was all sort of mind boggling that they threw all of those together. I really can't think of anything else that would have gone that far.

It was a disappointment to me. Well made, but the story was rather boring. It was nothing more than an extended tv episode with better budget.

Noooo! I was just about to post the sequel info. But I'm too late. D:!

*Whine*

I don't know that there will be a sequel though, because... it toooootally came out at the wrong time, everyone wanted to go see Batman. Suuuck timing.

heh. 5 people in the theater counting me. on a friday night, too.

damn, this is what's bothering me...like that carter quote they'd make another if this one was succussful. s**t. It doesn't look like this one will be. So where does that leave us?

haha one thing that was really cool was the remixed theme song. Only time I've ever heard it remixed where I REALLY liked it.

Oh yeah, here's a good follow up question.......do any of you plan on buying it when it comes out on dvd? I will. I'll watch it again, but also, just to show my support lol

Man. And I thought it was just because I lived in KY, ROFL. They really should have waited to release it, it might have done a little better.

Dude! I loved the music in this one, it was sort of trippy.

I'll definitely buy the DVD, I can't wait until it comes out.

You took the words right outa my mouth ER
Shame on Carter and Co ....what a boring load of tripe. It was exactly like an extended (BAD) episode. After all the good storylines the X files has had down the years ...this was the best they could come up with ????
Minus points for the X Files........If you haven't seen it yet save yourself the dissapointment.
Bogey

X-files was good in the day. But like everything else Hollywierd gets thier hands on its been played out.

I went to see the movie after work on the night it came out. it was I think a 9:15 showing and not including me, there were 5 people watching in my theater. that really depressed me lol. I'm a HUGE fan, so I liked it regardless. But at the same time I think it could have been better.....
