Anyone else excited for the new X-Files movie? Cause I sure am!

I was a huge X-Files fan back in the day. When I started watching, my mom wouldn't let me stay up late enough to watch, so I taped the episodes to watch on Mondays. They were all fuzzy because we had terrible reception without cable, but I enjoyed them just the same. I even managed to convert my vehemently anti-Sci-Fi sister to it. The show also led to my first foray into online fandom. There were fan communities aplenty back in the late 90s, though the sites and forums I used to frequent are long gone now. (If it hadn't been for The X-Files fandom, who knows if I'd have made it to The Sugar Quill and met some of my LJ friends! X-Files fandom even prepared me for ship wars.)

The new movie is non-conspiracy related, which is a very good thing, in my opinion. The conspiracy was plenty convoluted when the show was still on, and I certainly don't remember all the details now that the show has been off air for years. Most of my favorite episodes were "monster-of-the-week" eps. Talking about it kinda makes me want to dig out one of my videos and watch one!

I read an article about the new movie in USA Today, and they have a picture of Mulder and Scully along with it. No one is wearing a suit! Scully isn't wearing black! And has long hair! Craziness! Heh. I can't wait for more Mulder and Scully. The mysteries and alien conspiracies are cool, but the interaction between Mulder and Scully always drove the show. I can't wait to see my favorite alien hunting FBI team on screen again!

So who wants to go to a movie in July?

Woah! That was crazy quick! The DVDs are definitely on my to-buy list for somewhere down the road. Much higher quality than my fuzzy VHS, and no commercials!

There's Best Buy in the States, too, though I don't know what they sell the DVDs for here.

Maybe the FBI just can't do without Mulder and Scully to deal with the crazy stuff?

I'm pretty psyched. Oh, man. I was so ridiculously obsessed with The X-Files in middle school. Normally, I hated scary or gory things, but the show was just so darned good I had to watch it anyway. Then by the time I was getting into later high school and college, it really wasn't so good anymore, but I hung in there out of a strange combination of curiosity and loyalty. I was disappointed with the end, but I'm strangely optimistic about this. I like Scully's long hair, too.

I admit I couldn't really get into the last couple of seasons, but I still caught most of the episodes and the series finale. I'm positive about the movie, though, since it seems like it'll be back to the good old days of Mulder and Scully track down a strange monster.
