The X-Files: I Want To Believe

[prillalar]

* Thirty seconds of Skinner clasping Mulder to his chest in the snow. SO WORTH IT.

* Slow, slow crescendo -- too slow

* Gillian is beautiful

* I'm so over Scully's continual crises of faith

* I love it when people's heads get sewn onto different bodies but I'm a bit disturbed by the issues of gender and sexuality that raised

* "I wonder who that guy who looked like CKR was."

* Creepiest thing in the whole movie: the nuns in the final operating scene

* ♥ the cameos and references; if they hadn't, you know, killed off all the best characters on the show, they could have had even more cameos

* The movie wasn't great, but then I wasn't expecting it to be great so I had fun anyhow

* Skinner's shirt was white and crisp and he clasped Mulder to his chest in the snow

SO WORTH IT INDEED!

[starshine24mc.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone will be able to use my seat at the theater after that. I loved it. I need to own it now, and catch every frame, every injoke, every reference--OMG, Mulder's call list! OMG, Nutter's store?! Did you see CC? I could go on, I'm still reeling!

Skinner's shirt was white and crisp and he clasped Mulder to his chest in the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What more could I ask for?

I missed CC! Where was he?

Skinner's shirt was white and crisp and he clasped Mulder to his chest in the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!! x 1000000000

I feel like some serious old school slash right about now.

I'm writing as we speak. CC was in the hallway when Scully was walking down it. I think it was the second foray into the J Edgar Hoover building, but it all happened so fast. I know I squeaked.

I'm going again on Tuesday, so I'll confirm then.

Once we can post w/out worrying about spoilers, I think this will be my tag line on all my emails--mind if I credit ya? *L*

Credit or no credit, it's all good. :)

Hee! I was hoping you'd post; I have so few of the old-time XF fans left on my flist. I'm so glad someone other than me was filled with glee about the Mulder-clasping. :D (And yes to the issues of gender and sexuality, and that entirely odd toss-off thing about them being married and whatnot.)

[prillalar]

It figures TXF would be what got me to break three months of LJ silence. *g*

God, I love fanservice. And Skinner. Always Skinner. I could have gone for some Skinner clasping Scully too.

Oh my God, hiiii! ♥

[prillalar]

Hihihi! ♥

I was away too long! I'm glad you're still around.

[lovefromgirl.livejournal.com]

I must see this movie. I'm having fits of nostalgia, here; XF was my second fandom. Like, ever. And I miss that.

and yes, i remember your fiction.

[prillalar]

TXF was my first online fandom. I miss those days too. Also, Skinner is hot.

[lovefromgirl.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yes. I had an Arabic professor who looked just like him, too...

HAL ♥ ♥

Here I thought you'd eaten too much cheese.

[prillalar]

LIL ♥♥

I think I just ate too much LJ. But now I am better.

I missed your birthday! *shame* I owe you, like, something.

[shikishi.livejournal.com]

I am drunk on whiskey (boo) and have no cheese on my salad, but HI! where the hell have you been?

[prillalar]

I am eating a strawberry and watching the new OVAs. Not drunk, sadly.

I was learning to knit. But now I know how so I am back.

♥♥♥

[shikishi.livejournal.com]

I have not seen the new ovas. Too interested in Maou.

knitting is nice, I crochet, but only in the months in which crocheting is ok (because I cannot spell that other word)

[prillalar]

Is Maou a person, place, or thing? Is it something to do with Toma?

I'm not very good at knitting yet, but it is soothing.

Also, belated Doctor Who OMG. I *almost* posted after that.

[shikishi.livejournal.com]

Maou is a drama about a lawyer with a split personality and a deliquint cop. Toma is in it, yes. But sadly Spongebob is not.

and it is. I find it relaxing to make 70 foot long scraves.

and yes. yes. omg this was such a good season even if I thought the finale feel just a wee bit flat and was jumbled.

Can. Not. Wait. OMG.

[prillalar]

I'm still in my happy place.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

We started screaming and cheering when Skinner appeared at last -- and then cackled madly at the breast-clasping. They threw in something for everyone!

[prillalar]

I was trying not to get my hopes up when he didn't appear earlier so there was much bouncing when he arrived. :) I've been assuming that Skinner and Scully worked out their joint Mulder-custody agreement on the ride down.

[karorumetallium.livejournal.com]

I WANT TO BELIEVE.

Meaning: I need to watch that movie NAO!!!

[prillalar]

It's not a masterpiece but it was fun. :)

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

You saw it already! I did wonder.

Based on your review and destina's, I almost want to go myself. But instead, tonight P. and I are going to see an outdoor screening of The Breakfast Club in Dolores Park. (:

[prillalar]

As early as we possibly could! Which did mean we were in a sparsely attended matinee; the 7PM show would have been a livelier crowd.

[akahannah.livejournal.com]

I want to see this movie. I have no idea when it`s coming out here, or if. Wah. T_T

[prillalar]

:( I don't know how big a release it's getting.

[zarahemla.livejournal.com]

The nuns are watching. The nuns are *always* watching.

[prillalar]

It was interesting how sinister all the Catholic clergy were.

[xanthelj.livejournal.com]

Haven't seen it yet - but OMG!!! Am very excited now!

[prillalar]

It takes me back to those lovely M/Sk days!
