icepixieNow that the new X-Files movie is only a month from coming out, I'm starting to get veeeery excited about it. I spent about an hour tonight checking out the responses to a recent MSR vid challenge. From what I've seen so far:
Here's a cute, funny little vid.
And this is rather cool; it's clips in air-date order over the entire nine years, using an acousticy-sounding version of "Walking After You." (Remember in middle and high school, when we all made up little personal Mulder/Scully fanmixes which included that song, half of Sarah McLachlan's oevure, and bits and pieces from The Cure*? ...just me, then?) I realized in watching it that, wow, Scully's hair was almost as terrible as her wardrobe in the early seasons, and as she used progressively less hairspray, she looked progressively better. Also, bangs are a Really Bad Idea on her.
I hear also that in preparation for the movie, they're releasing an eight-episode DVD set with episodes Chris Carter considers essential for understanding the film. They are Pilot, Beyond the Sea, The Host, Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, Memento Mori, Post Modern Prometheus, Bad Blood, and Milagro.
Anyone got speculation on why those might be vital for events in the film? I'm mostly unspoiled (because I can't seem to find the good spoiler sources anymore...it's been too long!), and would like to remain somewhat so, but tidbits are good. I'm guessing cancer and the Scully family play some part in the film, from the inclusion of MM and BtS. And perhaps Cher, from PMP? ;)
* Bonus points if, even now, hearing something by Savage Garden immediately makes you think of Paris/Torres on the strength of "To the Moon and Back." Ohhhh, I am so dating myself right now.
