I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence.
I haven’t heard anything about this movie and it sounds like that might be part of the point!

The X-Files: I Want To Believe (2008)
Gets more rotten every time I watch it! Fox had the opportunity to turn The X-Files into their own Conjuring series—complete with Flukeman spin-offs. But this was ugly inside and out.
This was almost our final image of Mulder and Scully, rowing to Valinor.

TXF S09E19 The Truth
Simultaneously a conspiratorial runaround with an obscenely high helicopter budget *and* a warm hug of an X-Files family reunion. Gillian Anderson does a lot of heavy lifting to make this work emotionally.
After two years without it we get one last use of my favorite phrase!

TXF S09E18 Sunshine Days
The final X-Files monster of the week—and it’s Michael Emerson!
Very well done episode that gets very silly very quickly and then becomes something very touching—even if Emerson is almost certainly legally liable for the death of Bud Bundy.

Useless story time about my username: years ago my ex-girlfriend saw a painting from a local artist that had Betty Boop in it and she got mad: “Betty Boop is *not* art! Why does this town love Betty Boop?” I didn’t have an answer.

TXF S09E13 Improbable
Really snappy episode—you can never go wrong ending an X-File with a musical number! We also get some classic X-Files rapid-fire patter explaining the case towards the beginning, though Gish gets lapped by Anderson.
Wonderful to see Ellen Greene and Burt Reynolds! (as God?)

I don’t want to get *political* but with headliners like this selling out large venues I’m afraid my town is full of dorks.

TXF S09E05 Lord of the Flies
An all-time great X-Files (in season nine?) and it’s surreal that it takes place at my (fictionalized) high school. How did I not know this?
They finally give Doggett and Reyes enough to do and have solid guests in Erick Avari, Michael Wiseman, Jane Lynch and the kids.

The best part of the new Frankenstein was seeing Mia Goth given endless, breathtaking costumes, then for Oscar Isaac del Toro basically got bored and said, “Just make him Ebeneezer Goode.”
