The Occasional Solipsist

I have long been a fan of the X-Files. The pilot aired something like 16 years ago, and I spent the first few years of the show's lifespan in an adolescent altered state, and since I was already a hardcore scifi fan anyways, it was a natural fit for me to get into the show.

I have really been looking forward to the new movie, and was one of the faithful fans hoping that it would have gotten made years ago. The above clip is a decent, spoiler-free interview with Producer/Creator/Mescaline-freak Chris Carter about what viewers can expect from 'The X-Files: I Want to Believe', and maybe the future.

For my end, I consider myself a skeptic in the face of the supernatural, (I even hate the word 'supernatural', what a cop-out phrase) but there are many things that I do indeed Want to Believe in. I even have the poster to prove it:



I'm not going to get to go to Comic-Con this summer as I had planned. I was to have attended as press with the company I review movies for, but because I would have paid too much of the expenses out of my own pocket, it just wasn't something I could justify spending the money on.

But I am particularly bummed that I am not going because the movie debuts over the course of the event and it is certain that there would have been a screening, and an interview panel. I might even have gotten to interview Gillian Anderson, or Duchovny. But that's maybe for the best anyways, cause if I did interview Anderson my inner fanboy might have won out and I might have just sat there giggling at her, and with Duchovny I would probably have just kept repeating how fantastic he is in Californication and forgotten all about the movie completely.

However I do get to see it, I Want to Believe that this movie is going to rock. And [begin irony] I have faith [end irony] that it will.
