Top False Movie Rumors
See the News section.
Okay, I have to say that I'm sick and tired of going to self-proclaimed "X-Files: Fight the Future" or "X-Files Movie" or "X-Files: Blackwood" sites that haven't been updated since anywhere between March and June 1998. Obviously there is no point to them, and whoever "maintains" them isn't doing a very good job of it. What I find funny about these sites is their news sections. There are some very funny rumors about the movie (looking back) that appeared as far back as summer and fall 1997, when the rumors were VERY sketchy. (Makes me regret that I started this site after the movie was released...!) Just see what I mean. In the words of Dave Barry, I'm NOT making these up!
