X-Files Movie

Some­time last week “Fight the Fututre” pre­mired on FX and has been shown about 12 times already. Came in part way today and watched all the way until Mulder’s lit­tle trip to the Antarc­tic to save Scully. The mid­dle part of the movie plays like a TV episode, which is fine. The last hour is like Hol­ly­wood blockbuster/action pic with big spe­cial effects, yeck. When Mul­der climbs around inside this sup­pos­edly cav­ernous alien space­craft it never seems big due to the crappy light­ing and the hang­ing by his fin­gers thing just seemed so tossed in.

The TV show ended a few weeks back and of course coin­ci­dently there was an arti­cle in that week’s TV Guide about the show. Some­where in the arti­cle some­one men­tioned that they were think­ing of doing another movie — please spare us.

Thank’s Lewis for explain­ing yes­ter­days ques­tion of the day, “What’s the half cir­cle mean under the bas­ket?” It’s an offen­sive foul amnesty zone. They can’t call an offen­sive player for a charge in that cir­cle, it is always going to be the defen­sive player’s foul no mat­ter if he has been stand­ing there for weeks.
