Lugia's Song Or Rather Fall At Your Feet

...Some songs I've been listening to lately, I swear it's coming to that time of the month again I'm getting into a mood really easily. So anyway I wanted to waffle a little about what's been happening with moi lately.

So I went to see the new X-Files movie with my mate, absolutely awesome, awesome, AWESOME movie, well that's if you like the X-Files and have watched it enough to see the whole Mulder and Scully relationship grow and blossom. Seeing this new film really brought a smile to my face, I had to laugh at all of Mulder's quips, though Scully seemed a little different, a little off what I remember.

I saw them on Richard and Judy the Wednesday before I went to see the the film and they looked and spoke comfortably together which is always promising. Though the only bits that narked me about this film and MAJOR SPOILER WARNING AHEAD DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO GO SEE IT, I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S SAFE OKAY? lol




Gonna make this part the same colour as the background just in case.

So the bits that pissed me off about X-Files: I want to believe

Mulder stuff - Meh, not too much Mulder stuff to complain about, he looks older but that's about it really, his classic line "what's up doc?" to Scully in the opening shot of them together was great, but different, so very different. All in all I think he rocked, same old Mulder.

Scully stuff - Okay here's where it gets serious, Scully was a little deadpan, she seemed a little moody, a little off beat but I'm not too bothered by it strangely enough. She said it was really hard for her coming back after 6 years, trying to find Scully again and I can imagine it would be, but I don't know maybe it was Chris Carter fault for giving her poor lines? Also she was a little too quick to rock the boat with Mulder and their relationship - not true Scully style at all.

Billy Connolly stuff - Or a lack thereof should I say, where was he in this film!?!? Basically everything that's in the trailer is about as much as he gets in this film. I adore Billy Connolly, as a stand up comedian on a stage he makes me cry, in films that I've seen him in, this one now included, I've always loved the variety of his performance. But seriously was it worth hiring Billy for the amount of what you saw of him in the film?

Other characters - Or missing people, Mitch Pileggi got a five second cameo at the end of the film in a scene where he gets to cuddle a freezing Mulder? Oh and of course the scene in the car with Scully? Not enough. And whose idea was it to bring in Xibit and Amanda Peet into the mix? What about Monica Reyes and John Doggett? I don't care what they would have had to do to get them back in it, they SHOULD have been in it! The missing faces of The Lone Gunmen hit home with me too, I loved those guys and the scene in 'The End' season 9 made me cry.

The film overall - Was it a film or just a two part episode? The film looked and felt like it was on a tight budget, the action scenes were far and few and really Mulder and Scully were pasted in more often to cut down on special effects (hence the bed scene and Scully's classic line: "Itchy beard ugh") I loved the film, don't get me wrong but it's definitely not what I was expecting.





OKAY YOU CAN LOOK NOW!

So I've talked X-Files, I'm not going on about it now. Aside from the great night out with my best mate, I haven't really done much bar go to work. I think now's a good time to cut this post off, even though I promised more I need to go bed it's late, I may write again tomorrow.

Take care all xx
