"drank pitches"

i miss baseball, too, but i'm not sure how to read that metaphor.

i also miss the x-files.

i was so disappointed with I Want To Believe...

it was like Hostel without the gore or suspense...but the X-Files should never really be like Hostel...unless were talking about Home...and what's his face, billy connely, just sucked...i don't like him...maybe that piece of shit "cult classic" The Boondock Saints ruined him for me...but i can't look at billy connely anymore without thinking of his silly (trying to be badass) cow utter gun jacket from that movie...I Want To Believe blew.

i liked Mulder with a beard though...wish he didn't shave it off...

i whole-heartedly disagree. i told you it wasn't an action film, and barely even a sci-fi movie. it was a drama. it was ONLY about the interaction between mulder and scully. and i thought that was very well done. i loved it.

Logan Ryan Smith said...

it was subtle and muted, and i liked that about it too.

John Sakkis said...

i know you disagree...

it wasn't a drama...it was somewhat dramatic at parts...but no, not a drama...it was a failed x-files episode...

and if you want to go with the drama thing...do you seriously think that they succeeded in creating a believable drama...that there was any pathos between the characters...that the movie told us anything about their relationship that we didn't already know...that it was a worthy story to carry us through that 5 year lapse...no way.

what you see as subtle and muted i see as really bad writing/execution...
