Okay, sorry, forgot to breathe there for a moment.
So, *supposedly* my future ex-husband has set up his own personal blog to reconnect with X-Files fans. Of course, as is the case with most celebrity blogs/MySpace/Facebooks, etc, one must prudently question the authenticity of the site.
I know most of you aren’t interested in this, but I’m'a keep posting this stuff here just to make it more accessible to Phellow Philes trying to find information about the upcoming sequel. Just for reference, my main source of information is X-Files News.
I should have mentioned this previously, and I’m pretty sure it’s general knowledge by now, but the working title of the film is Done One. Popular X-Phile phraseology around this is “Done one. Make another!”
Scully is a pediatrician working in a general hospital and is no longer employed by the FBI. This is not exactly a surprise, since we’re assuming that she and Mulder are fugitives on the run from the US government at this point. General assumption is they have taken up residence somewhere in Canada. No info on Mulder’s status.
BTW, how effing cool is it that they’re shooting the movie back in good ol’ Vancouver?! Effing SWEET!
The film MAY have undertones along those that we saw in season four, and includes quite a bit of blood & guts. As one poster on the XFNews forums pointed out, we can only hope these undertones run along the lines of the goriness we saw in “Home” and “Leonard Betts” rather than those we saw in “Memento Mori” and the cancer-arc. *crosses fingers*
According to one extra’s experience, there has been some filming done at an old hospital in Vancouver. My assumption is that this is the hospital where Scully works. And it sounds effing creepy and I must go there.
My observations/insights so far:
I still can’t shake the apprehension I have about this movie being filmed as a MOTW. The series finale left way too many questions unanswered and the story way too open-ended to try to nonchalantly explain everything away through seemingly mundane conversations (a la Fight the Future) and/or flashbacks. But, I was always kind of partial to the Mythology in the day, so maybe it’s just me.
I’m not liking the long hair on Scully, and I’m seriously disturbed at how much it bothers me, because it makes me feel very immature and it’s obviously NOT the most important thing going on in this film.
It will be interesting to see how Carter handles the fact that, for all we know, Mulder and Scully (and Skinner, who is also back, WHOO HOO!) are essentially criminals wanted by the very institution that appears to be asking for their assistance in this film.
Some sly fan snuck a video of the teaser that was shown at WonderCon. Listen to the crowd go wild at the first glimpses of Mulder and Scully in seven years!
To the person who Googled “x-files episode pomeranian eats woman,” it was Clyde Bruckman’s Finale Repose, fourth episode of the third season, you sick freak.
FYI, Scully adopts said Pomeranian and names him Queequeg. Queequeg dies in “Quagmire,” the twenty-second episode in season three.
Yes, it’s Sunday. But filming for the second X-Files movie began last Monday. I have been watching at least a couple of episodes on DVD every night for the past few weeks in preparation of the premier on July 25 (two days after my birthday, might I add), so expect to see many X-Files related posts between now and then. Tonight, the top five hottest Mulder and Scully moments ever.
5. The hallway scene from The Sixth Extinction: Amor Fati – Incredibly charged and beautifully delivered. Mulder’s words really illustrate what true love means.
4. Dancing in Post Modern Prometheus – We all knew, just like Mulder, that there was no way in hell that Scully was not going to take his hand. I had a capture from this clip hanging in my locker in high school. What woman has NOT wanted some handsome man to yank us off our feet and pull us into his arms like that? Also offers a stirring rendition of one of my all-time favorite songs, by one of my all-time favorite performers.
3. Hips Before Hands – Just. Yeah. No explanation needed. “Get over here, Scully”??? Ow!
2. Spooning in Requiem – A real demonstration of the level of their commitment to and regard for one another. Heartwrenching.
1. Almost-kiss in Fight The Future – As luck would have it, no video on this one that’s not from the blooper reel. The real one is so much better. The collective groan of agony that arose from the theater when that bee interrupted was priceless.
But what about these obvious ones?
Memento Mori – When it aired, Memento Mori was *the* hottest M/S moment to date. It still remains one of the greatest, and one of my favorites; it’s just a little outdated.
Existence – Just too obvious. We were all deafened by the collective fangirl scream that arose from the night when this episode first aired. This is the end of eight years of unresolved sexual tension. But it’s the unresolved part that make sexual tension so effing hot.
Arcadia – The entire episode. It was brilliant, hysterical, and hot. But the humor dulled the UST enough to bench the epi to honorable mention. One of my favorite episodes.
Small Potatoes – As much as it pains me to do so, must leave this one out due to the fact that it’s not Mulder. Still, Scully puckers up quite quickly, doesn’t she?
