F. #AtoZChallenge - The re-opening of The X-Files and Dragon of the Stars Release Day!

 
My 2015 Blogging from A to Z April Challenge theme is The re-opening of The X-Files. I'm not going to reiterate the known facts about the show, but share with you how it ruled my life for 9 seasons and beyond.

F = Feature Films

The X Files (1998)

http://x-files.wikia.com/wiki/The_X-Files:_Fight_the_Future

"Fight The Future"
Mulder and Scully uncover a government conspiracy attempting to hide the truth about an alien colonization of Earth.

The X Files: I Want to Believe (2008)

http://x-files.wikia.com/wiki/The_X-Files:_I_Want_to_Believe

"Believe Again"
"To Find The Truth, You Must Believe."
Mulder and Scully have been out of the FBI for several years — with Mulder living in isolation as a fugitive from the organization and Scully having become a doctor at a Catholic-run hospital, where she has formed a friendly relationship with a seriously ill boy patient — but, when an FBI agent is mysteriously kidnapped and a former priest who has been convicted of being a pedophile claims to be experiencing psychic visions of the endangered agent, Mulder and Scully reluctantly accept the FBI's request for their particular paranormal expertise on the case. 



I'm not going to lie, both of these films left something to be desired. I enjoyed the first movie much more than the second. I always thought they should do a third to wrap things up, but I'll take 6 episodes on TV instead!

Special Agent Stormy the Weather Gnome here.

When you get bored of listening to her drivel about her favorite TV show, make sure you drop down to the bottom of the posts to see me. I'm sharing funny quotes from the show.

The X-Files movie:
  

[to a bartender, while drinking] Special Agent Fox Mulder: I'm the key figure in an ongoing government charade, the plot to conceal the truth about the existence of extraterrestrials. It's a global conspiracy, actually, with key players in the highest levels of power, that reaches down into the lives of every man, woman, and child on this planet, so, of course, no one believes me. I'm an annoyance to my superiors, a joke to my peers. They call me Spooky. Spooky Mulder, whose sister was abducted by aliens when he was just a kid and who now chases after little green men with a badge and a gun, shouting to the heavens or to anyone who will listen that the fix is in, that the sky is falling and when it hits it's gonna be the shit-storm of all time.

Barmaid: [backs away] Well... I say that about does it, Spooky.
