Reason #1000 Why There Should Be Another X-Files Movie

I’m not intentionally focusing my snarkage on Paris Dixon or the works of Trace Edward Zaber, I swear. Everyone knows that I pick on everyone equally. How many times have I picked on April Martinez and I love that bitch to pieces! For reals. But how can I not look at this cover and not make fun of it? That would be like plunking a giant plate of chocolate cake in front of me a fat kid and telling me him not to lick it. And I luves me some chocolate cake, yo! Oh, man, if Scully saw this cover, she’d be pissed. This is just like that cover with Mulder on it except the cover artist was actually talented (yes, that was a real compliment!) and drew the damn thing instead of just half-assedly slapping poor Scully’s face on the heroine’s head and calling it a day. Dear God, I’m crying for poor Scully right now. I hope Chris Carter sees this post, comes to his damn fool senses, and makes another X-Files movie already. I mean, his stars are reduced to posing for romance covers and making congratulatory, smug-asshole movies, for God’s sake! And I don’t think poor Scully would have sex with a psychopathic looking child with a drawn-on mustache, much less touch him. Dude looks seriously deranged. I wonder if the male model of this cover is the artist himself or the boyfriend of the artist, in the vein of Dara Joy and Wildcat Arrows.

Kids, you may go ahead and thank E’d.trix for sending me this veritable treasure.

    It’s the title that confuses me. Sounda kind of like The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover, which was a great if strange movie, BTW.

    Yeah, I don’t get the title, either. He’s her slayer, but I think he’s also saying that he’s her lover as well. But on the second part of the title, he speaks of himself in the third person. Or she’s saying “My Lover” and he’s saying “Her Slayer”

    Or I’m totally wrong and there’s a third party not featured on the cover. Oh, please, let it be A.D. Skinner!

    Um, title, aside, why is Scully posing with TOM GREEN????

    Ok, is it just my old computer screen, or does our hero looked ‘graffitied’? That facial hair looks totally markered in!

    Can I just say that I love Mulder/Skinner slash? Have you ever read a fic called Subterfuge? *Very* hot. : )

    I’m sorry… what pisses me off the most about this is the blatant misuse of Scully’s image. SCUUULLLY!! This is worse than when the aliens abducted her and implanted the miracle-baby in her womb even though SHE DIDN’T HAVE ANY MORE OVA!

    *pouring wine on the floor* That was for you, Scully.

    Is Scully’s lover, Snidely Whiplash’s little brother? Where’s muttley when you need him!

    Funnily enough, when I logged on to this site I was listening to “Mulder and Scully” by Catatonia… coincidence? I think not. [cue X-Files music]

    But yes, I too am angered at the blatant misuse of Scully’s image. But how feasible is another X-Files movie really? It relies completely on Mulder and Scully… and with all that they’ve been through, ESPECIALLY Duchovny’s bitchy departure, can he really bring it anymore? I’m sure Anderson can, but after five years, are they really relevant anymore? Both have certainly moved on… lol.

    [WARNING: NERD/SPOILER ALERT]

    Wait, the aliens abducted her again? There was the first time, where they harvested her ova, and then the second time in the movie where she was simply abducted to mess with Mulder’s head [and he got her by the end of the movie]. Mulder jacked her ova from the “fertility clinic” in the town where she was being treated for cancer BEFORE the movie, and they only tried to conceive [either with in vitro fertilization or old-fashioned lovin’] two seasons afterward… so when did she get abducted again? If I remember correctly, when she stepped in the force field where all those people got abducted they rejected her [cos she was “infertile”] and took Mulder instead… which is when she found out she was pregnant.

    [END NERD/SPOILER ALERT]

    I just thought I missed an important plot arc or something…

    Yeah, I was a big X-Files fan. Like obsessive.

    Joanne, I don’t know. I stopped watching after Season 7. I only watched occassionally once Mulder was taken.

    I’m with you. I wan’t interested in seeing Agent Dogget. Mulder was the only one for Scully or for me

    Umm… it just occured to me that the hero might be… Marc Anthony. You know, Skeletor… J-Lo’s husband. The moustache was added because J-Lo might see it and shit herself.

    She’ll be like, “Mira! Do you know what I can do to you putas that you’ve besmirched my husband’s image? Take it down! Andale, putas!”

    I agree with the previous comment. The artist drew the guy’s hair on with a sharpie or something.

    I can’t stop looking at Scully’s face. It’s like she’s saying to me, “Kill me. Please, kill me. I’d rather be anally probed by a thousand gray aliens than be here!”

    I’m sorry, Scully. If I had a shotgun, I’d point it at your forehead and end you right now. I’M SORRY I FAILED YOU, SCULLY!!

    “Joanne, I don’t know. I stopped watching after Season 7. I only watched occassionally once Mulder was taken.”

    Oh, okay, Bam. I hated Mulder’s absence and Doggett too but being in the throes of fangirlhood I kept watching. I am also a M-and-S-only type person and I realise that they should have ended it after Duchovny left… it’s a good thing you didn’t watch much after that cos Scully was a wreck in Season Nine. [She had great hair, sure, but emotionally she was a total wreck.]

    LOL at the Marc Anthony thing.

    Evangeline –

    Did you ever read the Mulder/Skinner where they’re stuck in the hotel together? Not that I read slash.

    And because I don’t read slash, allow me to ask of behalf of an, er, friend if anyone knows there I — um, my friend — can find a Giles/Spike story where Giles is the top, and he makes Spike splooge in a cemetary just by the sound of his voice. There are several chapters, and my friend would appreciate it.

    My friend is aware that neither story is canon, and that the stories are the property of either Chris Carter or Joss (Lurve him!) Whedon. :)

    Nicolette,
    I don’t read Buffy slash so I can’t help your ‘friend.’ But I will send you a copy of Subterfuge if you send me a link to that Mulder and Skinner in a hotel fic. I love that stuff!

    “a Giles/Spike story where Giles is the top”

    Giles a top? No freaking way. . . that guys’s as sub as can be and Spike would come - er, um, WALK all over him.

    And I didn’t watch X-Files past 1998. I ran off and joined the Army and got sent to Korea for a year and when I came back I had NO FUCKING CLUE what was going on. It was like it was a totally different show.

    lorelie:
    Spike deep down wants approval, and has a history of being sub with women, Giles — on the other hand has his past as Ripper. Watchers order around slayers as a matter of course. And, yes, I’m justifying a piece of stroke fiction. :)

    E: Would love to send you the story, but haven’t seen it around in years.

    Nicolette,
    Darn. There used to be several very good sites devoted to X-files fanfic. I enjoyed reading it very much. Sigh. Maybe Bam is right, we need a new movie even if only to revive the fic that’s floating around out there. Evangeline

    There’s always the Gossamer Project, which aims to catalogue all the X-Files fic out there, but you will have to sift through a bunch of crap ones… I know from experience… lol.

    Lorelie: You ran off and joined the Army? The way you put it, it sounds like it was an impulsive choice. May I ask what brought it on? [Having had a friend dispatched to Iraq a couple years ago it always interests me to know how people come to join it.] Also, yeah, everything changed after the movie cos of the move to LA. Some elements totally changed. lol.

    I just realised that the last two sentences sound redundant, but I can’t change it now… fuckit.

    “Well, you know…things change. Well I mean, of course things change… but sometimes things that you didn’t think would change.. could change.” lol.

    Extra points if anyone can name the movie. …Evie? [wink wink, nudge nudge] :D

    I can’t wait till November 28th. I’m shelling out the big bucks for the 2-disc. I’m such a sap. But the 1-disc is very bare bones. Bryan blew out his wad on the 2-disc.

    Gotta get as much BR as I can. Till 2009. Goddamn it.

    I’ve been watching the cartoons on DVD… you know, the awesome WB one. I might even spring for the videogame. Or maybe someone will get it for me for my birthday. Which is October 16th.

    “Or maybe someone will get it for me for my birthday.”

    If you get it for ME on MY birthday… which is October 11. ^_^ Haha, we can do a gift trade! The funny part is that we would be getting each other the same thing, for the same reason, at nearly the same time. I was actually supposed to be born on the 16th (not lying, I swear to God!) but for some weird reason I began clamoring to get out on the 10th.

    Can’t wait till November 28th either. Awwww yeah. :)

    “Gotta get as much BR as I can. Till 2009. Goddamn it.”

    So you’re still hanging in there eh? Hurrah for People Who Like Brandon Despite His Unfortunate Choice As Of Late (Such As Ourselves)! :D
