How did I celebrate? I watched the latest X-Files movie and went to bed around 11pm. I was going to stay up to see the new year arrive, but I was really depressed by the annoying hosts and the generic bands on the New Year's programs. Ah well. It arrived fine without me.
How was the movie? Well, I was a huge fan of the show for the first several seasons, but didn't watch the last season at all. I felt a bit lost when they made reference to the events I missed, but luckily they didn't really talk about it much. It wasn't a bad movie at all, but I think my wife, who isn't a fan, summed it up best when she said it was like a really long episode of the show. Well put. A good episode, but nothing special.
Throughout the beginning of the movie, Mulder has a real scraggly beard. I kind of wish he'd kept it throughout the film. It gave him a look that removed him from the show completely. Seeing as Mulder and Scully no longer worked for the FBI, I think the whole film could've used that attitude.

Happy New Year... real late...
:)
That's what people said about the Sex & The City movie, that it was like 3 or 4 episodes put together. But if you were a fan you weren't dissapointed. I should be getting the X-Files movie this weekend can't wait to watch. I stuck around till the end on the series even though at times I really wanted to jump ship. It's been so long though I might be as lost as you when the references in later episodes. Happy New Year!
I finally watched it. I had heard so many rumors about their being a twist regarding Mulder’s sister so I was disappointed that there really wasn't much tying back to the mythology of the X-Files. It felt more like a CSI episode. Oh vell.
