If I Had $40 million?

If I had $40 million, I would fund myself another X-Files movie. I was a pretty significant X-Files fan back in the day. I didn't just watch the television show. I played the video games. I read the books. I watched the shows that were tangentially related to the X-Files universe. I read the comics. I named my dog Scully. I was a pretty big fan.

As the second movie approached, I was excited. I avoided all spoilers and vowed to see it as soon as possible. It opened the same weekend I was at Comic-Con, so I figured I would go see it during the following week sometime. Then I started to hear that it was bad. I don't really remember where these rumblings came from, but I decided I didn't want to be disappointed. So, I skipped it.

I finally got around to renting it from Netflix this week and it was awesome! Okay, maybe not awesome, but I really loved it. I had no idea what the plot was and I was so happy to find out it was it wasn't an alien invasion movie. I do love the alien mythos stuff, but I really love the X-Files' monster-of-the-week episodes. I don't want to spoil anything. Just know it is super creepy in all the right ways. If you gave it a pass like i did, do yourself a favor and rent it.

Thank you to Chris Carter, Gillian Anderson, and David Duchovny for making a great X-Files movie for me and the rest of your fans. I really hope you guys can find a way to get another film made. You could have it set in 2012, maybe? Bring on the aliens! Just make sure you add some Slim Whitman to the soundtrack.
