See the X-files movie through my eyes

Scully and Mulder have achieved full glamour status.
Appearing on the cover of Newsweek and inside, like fashion models.
They don't really look like that in the TV show. Or the movie,
for that matter.But I still like looking at them. Everyone does.

In the movie, there's a scene where they're running through
cornfields, being chased by evil helicopters. I couldn't help Thinking back to the scene
in North By Northwest, where Cary Grant is chased by the crop duster.
Alfred Hitchcock is still the king in my book.

Opening night, the theater was filled with Xphiliacs.
I'd never seen a room so filled with geeky types. I imagined it to be
not unlike a Star Trek convention. Oddly enough the average viewer was
over 50, white, and male. I started to think about what my friend Faithie
had told me. The thing about hair patterns revealing genetic abnormalities.

Ya see, Faith told me you can tell whether a person is a genetic
mistake by the way their hair pattern grows on their head. A natural whorl pattern
indicates a healthy normal person. An irregular growth pattern indicates a serious
genetic flaw.I saw a lot of men with irregular hair growth patterns
in the movie theater.

Yeah, Mulder and Scully come THIS close to kissing and then WHAM
Scully gets stung by a mutant bee and that's the end of that.

She ends up in a coma in an alien womb-like chamber with
a tube in her mouth, getting pumped full of God knows what, and helplessly
serving as a host body for new alien life forms.YUCK!
