Or maybe my husband really is too awesome for me to believe sometimes.

Last night, I arrived home late to the sound of my apartment exploding. I opened the door and was relieved to discover it was simply our surround sound cranked up to an unholy volume, playing the CORNFIELD ESCAPE! scene from The X-Files: Fight the Future (in HD!). Luke saw me ( Read more... )

And while I'm sitting here going WHAT HOW, my boss brings me a gift: three little dancing wind-up robots for my desk. Two boys, one girl, to represent our department. Yes, they know me here ( Read more... )

Because it's an abnormally slow work day, and I've been meaning to give this one a go.

Thanks gega_cai!

I feel an immense amount of pity for this film. It's a quiet, effed-up little thriller-slash-character study released at a time when nobody's looking for one; it's not the conspiracy flick a lot of casual XF fans were expecting; it opened a week after one of the biggest movies of all-time (now)... in general, it's having a pretty rough early ( Read more... )

I beat Uncharted last night; what a fabulous game! Nate, Elena, and Sully are three characters I definitely look forward to spending more time with. I'm upset that Naughty Dog might postpone the sequel in favor of another Jak and Daxter game (of which there are already THREE). *grumps ( Read more... )

I've been watching Season 2 of the X-Files during the late hours these past few nights. Something about these early seasons - 2 through 4 especially - so lends itself to nighttime viewing, and it has nothing to do with the creep-factor (XF has rarely, if ever, managed to scare me) - it's all about the mood, which early XF excelled at. And while ( Read more... )

Theatrical trailer for The X-Files: I Want to BelieveIt really does look beautifully shot, and despite one too many "It's here!"s from Billy Connolly, I'm sold. I love Scully's line "I'm done chasing monsters in the dark," although most fans reportedly hate it because it means Scully isn't one-hundred-percent a-okay and on the best of terms with ( Read more... )

The lovely Season 2 boxset of The X-Files is now sitting next to my DVD player (bless you eBay!), which has been a long time coming. This is the season I'm least intimately familiar with (we don't speak of 8 and 9), but it boasts what's possibly my favorite ep of all time - "One Breath" - and one of the very best season finales ("Anasazi"). So I' ( Read more... )

'Shipper, noromo, one of the "it's-more-complicated!" fence-sitters like me... when faced with images like this, we all must agree on one, simple point:

MSR is the definition of epic. (How well I remember you, forehead touch!)

There's something all the more sad and beautiful about that shot just for the fact that they are older. Really; the ( Read more... )
