I watched it, too, with a couple of people, actually. I don't remember much of it (there may have been beer), but you've reminded me.
taglines like 'knowledge denied' and 'the truth will be reborn'.
We cracked up at that.
I will freely admit to cringing through a lot of it. I kinda really didn't want to watch it, but did at the same time.
Haha, same.
They're not the real deal, but the way it's been done is definitely a testament to how much the writer/producer loved the show.
It was definitely an homage primarily.
A surveillance scene! Wonder if there's an iced tea in that bag... And Mulder talking about scripture. Is there nothing he doens't know? Even if this Mulder isn't our Mulder.
I had just, not two days before, had a similar conversation about who Lilith is with the people with whom I was watching, so I got elbowed hard during this scene.
There was a line that said "Stomach contents include..." and I was really hoping that last word would be pizza!
YES
Why didn't they cover up the tattoos the guy playing Mulder has?

I had the spring issue of Lilith magazine in my purse, which I had brought over for the purpose of showing Raphael a quote from an article that, six months later, still doesn't make sense. Something about armadillos. Ah, wait:
"Because Alpana wasn't Jewish, though, and I wasn't Hindu, we screeched into these scarily future-oriented conversations, and I remember thinking, 'Who else has to do this, at this stage of life at this super liberal college? Who else has to talk about long-term? Two Jews don't have to talk about this!' We coined this word-'armadillo'-which means, 'Oh, no, we're in this forward-thinking pressure conversation, and we don't want to be here, so we're stopping.' Since then, I've realized that 'inter' couples get into armadillos: interracial, inter-class, inter-cultural."
Haha, I'm flattered anyone would've thought of my watching-certain-scenes-through-my-fingers "review" of this thing including "good insights" at all! But in the interest of being helpful/possibly even adding to the discussion, here it is. ;)
I can now relate to that bit in your post where you talked about downloading the thing, and thinking, "I'm downloading porn right now," the whole time. I'm downloading it right now, and I can't stop thinking about it. Just to torture me it's now downloading at 1.5kb/s.
Saw it and it both cracked me up and grossed me out. I especially wish I could have bleached my brain after the Skinner/secretary scene, (Ewww...how old was that guy?) thank God for that fast forward button. The Mulder/Scully bit at the end was quite sweet, before all the hardcore grand finale smut began.
There's a sequel by the way. With the Lonegunmen. Oh yes. DON'T EVEN THINK of uttering the words 'Gumen Porn'. GAAAHHH. *shudders*
I'm so glad I skipped through the Skinner/Arlene scene! The first few seconds were bad enough and I wasn't even watching those.
I did know about the second film. It's going to be a prequel to the first one though (the first one being Mulder and Scully's first time), so I'm wondering if it's going to be Mulder/Fowley. Or am I expecting too much continuity for a porn film??
It's like watching a train wreck, you know you *should* look away...*shudders*
AHAH! It's a prequel! So that explains a lot. Because I downloaded it over the weekend and I couldn't understand why ...well let's call them M&S I guess, were so distant with each other after having bonked the hell out of one another in the last film.
Gonna post a little review. It was much funnier than the last one and more, ermm...dare I say... tasteful even. (but I'm probably just saying that because I was so relieved there was no Gunmen porn.)
I would like to thank you for taking the bullet for all of us. :) No, seriously, I've tried watching professional porn, and it's just...sigh. (Amateur I'm fine with; I think most of it's the acting, and a bunch of it is the fakeness. Anyway. No one wants to talk about my porn preferences.)
Actually, I can totally see the way your argument (as I understand it--I think you posted your abstract?) would build off this. There's a real parallel here to the way fans tell this story, but there's also something totally alien towards it.
And I think I'm with you in that casefile ATTHS is not, in fact, a canon-appropriate way to get the ship going. I mean, it's fun to write and play with, but it just doesn't work in the broader context of the show. I honestly still think they could have done it all by slight of hand, but that's just me.
Haha, you're welcome! I only ever watch porn for the lulz (cheap, badly done Lord of The Rings gay porn is brilliant!) so this was...weird.
I did post the abstract. And I'm looking at how the parody builds on both canon and fic in its development of the story and the shop. There are so many similarities to fic, which have been pointed out by a lot of people, and yet it's also very different too. And mytharc is definitely the way the ship gets going. There's a quote - from Creating a Pocket Universe, I think - where one fan says that MSR when it's tied up with the mytharc is much more weighty than casefile MSR.

We are very picky. But we're Philes - it comes with the territory *g*
All in all though I thought it was really well done for a porn film. A definite homage.

context, which won't help you
"forward-thinking pressure conversation," WHAT DOES IT MEAN
So anyway, it resulted in a long, probably somewhat inaccurate explanation of Lilith

Hoping that my paper goes down well in the conference. Eek! The 'being made by fans for fans' angle plays a bit part in it.
