Is anyone else as unenthused about the X-Files movie as I am?
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am enthused. Not giggling like a schoolboy with anticipation, but I'm damn well going to see it opening weekend if I can help it.
I just watched Batman Begins again to get ready for The Dark Knight. It sure does take its sweet time, but it's a damn good movie. The first forty-five minutes feel terribly boring the second time around, even though I know they're important for setting up the second half. Iron Man zipped through the origin story much faster and snappier.
I like that Batman Begins is very thematically coherent. Or possibly incredibly anvilicious, if you want to look at it that way. But the idea of fear is carried throughout. I love that the first attack on the docks is shot like a fucking horror movie with Batman as the monster. It's awesome. And I really like the way Christopher Nolan did the hallucinations, how they're just a bent version of reality rather than something completely off-the-wall like you'd see in a cartoon.

I'm WICKED enthused. Isn't that sad? I'm SO amused at myself. DAMN YOU, CHRIS CARTER. But the list of episodes they claim you need to see to understand it... it's GOOD ones! Not craptastic mytharc bullshit! It might not suck! Umm.

Ooooh, which ones? I noticed that the upcoming repeats are starting to read like a best of.

Available as a boxed set called Revelations, so it could be a marketing ploy disguised as hope.

This is exactly what my Tivo says is coming up over the next few weeks. Exactly.
ETA: I don't really see how they go together.

So, apparently Scully is going to have a skeptical look at ghosts while Mulder swims through a sewer, and then become immortal by being turned into a vampire. Who sings Cher hits of the 70s.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Having just watched the episodes in that set, the only thing I really got out of it is that there was a running gag that I think no one got with a piece of fabric for a psychic to psychic at being torn from Mulder's NY Nicks shirt. Not that they're not good eps (they are), but as far as backstory? There are Psychics and Scully Had Cancer.
