Life in the old dog yet?
Hope is in the air, a new X-Files movie is upon us and maybe we'll finally get some answers as a kind of reward for sitting through 9 seasons of brilliant, merely good and laughable (does field trip and the last 2 seasons ring a bell?) episodes without getting closure (probable the most overused and overrated precious little word in use in the English language today).
On the other hand what purpose is served by beating dead horses (apart from parting us with our cash)? Will this movie be able to recapture some of the (dare I say it) magic that was the X-Files? Let's face it people, the nineties are long gone and there are new kids in town, Mulder and Scully aren't getting any younger (neither are we for that matter) and who cares after all these years about Scully's kid (if they decide to mention it in the plotline, that is)?
Lost fans beware: I can picture ten years from now countless blogs (or whatever they have by then) pondering the merits of the lost sequel movie and ruminating about the innocence of the '00s!
I for one, though, will gladly fork out the $15 (or whatever ridiculous amount a movie ticket costs in Sweden nowadays), if only to reclaim a happier time where the worst that could happen to me was to be abducted by aliens and rescued by sweet, redhead Scully...
