More X-Files? No Thanks, I'm Good

This is barely even news since it’s so far in the rumor stage, but there are apparently talks of a third X-Files movie. Is there honestly anyone out there who still cares about this franchise? And more importantly, are you going to yell at me for posing that question? (Topless Robot)

Ooh, yay! “The Office” spoilers! Be forewarned, if you click this link, you are almost definitely going to be spoilered. So don’t come crying to me about it. (Celebitchy)

The manhunt for that accused reality TV murderer has come to a tragic conclusion. Even more tragic? Now I’ll never know which millionaire Megan picked. Hopefully in the future these reality TV contestants can save their murdering until after a series airs. (Webster’s)

And on that note, the future of “I Love Money 3” is also up in the air. Thanks for fucking nothing, you murdering asshole. (DListed)

I’ve got no other way of prefacing this link other than by OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. (Warming Glow)

The same group responsible for the Anonymous Scientology attacks have now targeted Christians by hacking into their facebook accounts. Yeah, so like it’s fun to laugh at Christians and all, but this just seems kinda mean. (Deus Ex Malcontent)

Unlike some celebrity endorsements, these here are the perfect marriage of celebrity and product. (Screen Junkies)

Katy Perry has this amazing superpower that she can be completely annoying without so much as lifting a finger. (Superior Gossip)

Heidi Montag performed last night at the Miss Universe pageant. Think it sucked? You bet it did! (Yeeeah!)

In what is definitely one of the more asinine examples of Twilight merchandising, you can now recreate the feeling of having a creepy stalkerish vampire watch you while you sleep. Awesome. (Agent Bedhead)

You guys are gonna totally love this — here are a bunch of Dr. Horrible-themed cakes. (Cake Wrecks)

Here’s a link to the portfolio of the guy who did all those illustrated movie posters in the 80’s. It’s kind of cool to see a whole gallery of them like this. Thanks, Replica! (Drew Struzan)

OK guys, watch at this clip, and tell me if it’s real or not. I honestly don’t know. And yes, I could have found out myself with even the tiniest bit of internet research, but the magic just would have been lost:

As an X-Filiac, I must say I am torn. My love for Fox Mulder knows no bounds, but really, after the last frozen fuckery to pass itself off as an X-Files movie, I just don't know if I can get behind this.

Maybe they should have sent Mulder and Scully to District 9! THAT would have been awesome! Maybe they would have found little Scully/prawn babies from the eggs she had stolen, and their son would have been the Nigerian guy who was trading them all cat food for weapons, and they could have this touching reunion before things started going to shit, and they had to team up against angry prawns/evil government asstards, led by Alex Krycek and the re-animated head of the Smoking Man, and Skinner steps in to protect them.......

Or, maybe they should just stop.

Oh, but I got that beat by a country mile.

It sparkles in the sunlight! And you can make it cold.

Whoo-hoo! Suck it, Christians! With your . . . Christianity and whatever. You're going to get it now. We're gonna embarrass the hell out of your for . . . your . . . loving Jesus and stuff. Hey, fellas? I don't think we thought this one all the way through.

That gif on Warming Glow was horrible. Considering the likely cleanliness of both, I'd lick a stripper's asshole before I'd lick a stripper pole.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at August 24, 2009 1:23 PM

FUCK YES STEVEN SEAGAL. Now, I want him to join forces with Shaq and they can fight crime together.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at August 24, 2009 1:25 PM

And I really felt the same way TB. Can someone ask Jeremy about the cleanliness of those things? The pole, that is. Not the assholes.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at August 24, 2009 1:28 PM

And more importantly, are you going to yell at me for posing that question?

Well now ya went and ruined it, didn't you?


Maybe Jerry can make a cameo.

Posted by: Jay at August 24, 2009 1:31 PM

Don't knock it until you've tried it Tracer, the asshole that is.

Posted by: Guess Who! at August 24, 2009 1:36 PM

Jerce,

I have no words.... because I'm laughing too hard!! Awesome.
Do you suppose that is actual R-Patz size too, like the wall-shadow?

Posted by: Tarn at August 24, 2009 1:41 PM

Make no mistake, I appreciate a little well-timed analingus. But, depending on the size of the club, there could be two-dozen women or more grabbing the same pole on a given night, to say nothing about rubbing themselves all over the thing. Assuming "Merlot" took a shower before work, I'm certain her butt is much less likely to give me some sort of mind- and/or bowel-collapsing infection than that disgusting pole.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at August 24, 2009 1:42 PM

Also: Struzan!

He left out several Star Wars posters though. Pity.

Posted by: Jay at August 24, 2009 1:45 PM

I noticed the Jack Burton poster has been sold. Rowles, it might be time to check the Pajiba books and have someone posted at the Logan airport international terminal, if you know what is good for you.

Posted by: ed newman at August 24, 2009 1:53 PM

And you know it tastes like Brass polish and Enormé.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at August 24, 2009 1:54 PM

With a name like “Merlot” I’m sure she’s clean and tasty, Tracer.

Posted by: Guess Who! at August 24, 2009 2:03 PM

Duuude I saw Heidi Montag last night (shut up I wanted to see that bitch humiliated) and it was soooooo, sooooooo, but SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more embarrassing and terrible than I could EVER have imagined it. It started with the people clapping very confusedly, probably as they wondered who the fuck this plastic-boobed, butterfaced skank was.

And then the "music" started. Her lips didn't match the words a SINGLE time. The moves were high-school talent show bad, she looked terrified and robotic, and her dancers all looked like they wanted to die.

Oh, it was glorious.

Posted by: figgy at August 24, 2009 2:07 PM

And oh man, she DOES look like Willem Defoe in drag and plastic tits. AWESOME.

Posted by: figgy at August 24, 2009 2:08 PM

I cant tell when it happened but i'm totally tapped out on Twilight. I dont even get angry at them any more, or even sad or, even laugh. I just see what they've done now, blink at it, mutter 'figures', and move on. It hasn't won, no no no. But i'm certainly done even having negative feelings about it.

Posted by: Nadine at August 24, 2009 2:09 PM

AHhahahahah! OH, god, Jerce, that killed me.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at August 24, 2009 2:09 PM

Oh Steven Seagull..
"It's real! It's not a joke!".
But it sure is funny...

And Heidi? Please hide.

Posted by: Odnon at August 24, 2009 2:12 PM

Oh, John Krasinski. You don't know what you do to me. I'd nail you like a board over a broken window during a zombie invasion.

Posted by: ZombieNurse at August 24, 2009 2:15 PM

Okay, I was one of the first, and I mean FIRST (i.e. dyed my hair to be Scully for halloween [and was denied candy for being "just a kid in a trenchcoat" because no one had heard of Dana Scully]when I was 12) X-files fans and I would be happy to see the whole franchise just lie down and die. I made a half-hearted effort to watch the last movie, and I just couldn't get over that research montage where scully googles "stem cell research" then opens a book titled "stem cell research" and then, in the midst of a genius brain storm, writes the words "stem cell research" on a note pad, which was then emphasized by a close up of her underlining the words "stem cell research." filmmaking at its WORST people!!

Soooooooo, "The Vamp" (TM) dildo sparkles in sunlight? And here I thought I was supposed to stick it where the sun don't shine.

I'm actually enjoying the Schadenfreude that Murderer Guy has killed not one, but TWO reality shows. And we just thought he'd killed his wife

Posted by: BWeaves at August 24, 2009 2:48 PM

Hopefully in the future these reality TV contestants can save their murdering until after a series airs.

Here's a vote for murdering all the contestants of all "reality" shows at the "I think I'll try to be a contestant on a reality show" stage.

Posted by: , (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy) at August 24, 2009 2:50 PM

With Mr Murder (ironically?) killing himself in Hope B.C. and the recent "Mr Bus Murderer" I am really beginning to question my fellow Canadians and the whole "we're a peaceful people, eh?" thing we always brag about. This is the dark passive aggressive side of this country. Seriously, people. Do not piss off this country. We will decapitate you into a bag.

As for the Reality Show he was on getting cancelled, I wonder how long it'll be before it actually does get aired, on TV or the Internet? I suspect they only cancelled it because he got booted in an early round and wasn't on the show long enough to warrant airing it.

You can also put the Vampdildo in the fridge to get that real vampire experience!

oooh yeah nothing sexier than fucking yourself with an icicle.

Posted by: figgy at August 24, 2009 3:12 PM

And I would get that "Twilight" shadow poster thing just to put a light switch in his "wiener place".

Posted by: Odnon at August 24, 2009 3:28 PM

Love 'The X-Files'. I mean HUGE fan. Have all the dvd's, went to XF related chat rooms back in the day, have all the action figures, etc. etc...

But, please. Make it stop. Make it stop NOW.

Why, Jerce, you are full of all kinds of goodness today!

Posted by: Eyvi at August 24, 2009 3:42 PM

I'm not going to yell. X-Files went wrong. Very wrong.

The thing is that it went so wrong that it really can't get any worse. Make another movie. There's nothing left to lose. And if they end up making something that somehow conjures the greatness of the show at its peak, then we have a pleasant, wonderful surprise.

Granted, as a diehard fan, I'm not sure if that sort of attitude is going to be sufficient motivation to convince the studio to spend the money on it.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at August 24, 2009 3:45 PM

Oh! and that "Be Safe" Shadow sticky? Fuckin' creepy. People need their damn heads read.

I have a co-irker who actually had this lightswitch as a child, and neither he nor his parents noticed how wrong it was.

I'm seconding the stealing of this line. ZombieNurse, I salute you.

Posted by: BWeaves at August 24, 2009 4:22 PM

Damn, BWeaves. There are no original ideas, are there?
I'd still put a light switch there though.

Posted by: Odnon at August 24, 2009 5:38 PM

Wouldn't vampire dick be ambient room temperature?
Why refrigerate the sparkly dildo? Just leave the thing laying around the house until you feel the need to jump on it.
That's what I do...
TMI?

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at August 24, 2009 6:33 PM

Lindsey,
one would think so. At least, it was in my Spike fantasies.... *ahem* anyway, in Those Books, the daft clumsy bint heroine, Bella, goes on and on about how cold Edward feels. (Well, she does in the first one, which was as far as I got before deciding I'd rather Epilady my snatch without benefit of trimming first, than read more of that shit).

Posted by: tarn at August 24, 2009 7:15 PM

Jerce, I am going to be fired because of that link.
See, during a batch of Cull Day drunkeness, my co-workers and I were discussing That Book, in our own special way ('Are her vampires like other vampires and can't be seen in a mirror? Hey, do you think that would apply to cameras as well? What if they did porn?' Eventually, we decided vampires would be great at porn. Think about it). Anyway, someone uttered the words 'sparkling manhood', and the post-doc squealed like a seven year old girl seeing a slug. It was gorgeous. Turns out 'manhood' is her version of 'moist'.
I really, REALLY want to send her that link. But the Sexual Harrassment Panda won't like that. Sooo going to get fired.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at August 24, 2009 7:56 PM

I would love to see The X-Files redeem itself with one last film/try. If you're a massive fan like I am, why would you want to walk away with the bad taste in your mouth that was brought on by "IWTB"?

Bring Morgan, Wong and Bowman back, lock them in a room and tell them they will only be released if they come up with a classic. Just keep Carter away from the camera.

I want to believe again!!!

Posted by: ShinyKate'sShineRag at August 24, 2009 7:57 PM

The only conceivable reason to have another X-Files movie is that Krycek wasn't in the last one. COME ON! When I was but a precocious 11 year old who read Entertainment Weekly and watched X-Files I read an interview with Chris Carter and he said something along the lines of "when everything finally collapses in flames, Krycek will be the last one standing. It may be on one leg and missing an eye, but he'll be there" and I WANT TO SEE THAT. It's not like Nicholas Lea is doing anything important, and he's still kind of hot! Thus justifying my misguided childhood crush that always made me feel kind of uncomfortable.

Speaking of uncomfortable; thank you, Jerce.

Posted by: Rusty (formerly Genny) at August 24, 2009 8:32 PM

Didn't read all the comments, but from what I understand, this third and allegedly final X Files film (though the second one was shit and sold like it too) is going to go back to the plot of the show and deal with the Mayan 2012 thing. It was apparently a big arc in the show that never really got dealt with, so hopefully being more like the show instead of whatever I Want To Believe was, will help the movie not suck ass.

Posted by: John Darc at August 24, 2009 10:40 PM

The last installment of X-Files was pointless. So I'm guessing the next movie will be just as pointless.

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at August 25, 2009 12:46 AM

The X Files: Yeah, it can't suck that much more then IWTB and even that shit got a friend of mine to start watching the show. We old X Philes were too spoiled by the awesomness of the show for the fast food that was the second movie. But I want myself some aliens and to feel like it's the 90's and I'm a kid and like I' sure there is something troubling out there but I can't quite put my finger on it. I hae being able to put my finger on it, don't you. I want that feeling back so I'll watch.

Posted by: sunflowerseed at August 25, 2009 9:53 AM

Um, Krycek is massively dead. Bullet in the head, courtesy of Skinner, although he did manage to come back and counsel Mulder as a ghost. Chris Carter didn't come through on a lot of his statements (all will be revealed, Scully and Mulder will never be a couple, Krycek will be the last one standing, etc.).

The show began tanking once Mulder was forced to go on the run, and Krycek's death was utterly pointless--he was no threat at the time, and besides, the guy was seriously hot. I had to watch that crappy John Woo Canadian series just to get my Nick Lea fix.

I rented the latest movie only a few weeks ago, and I was surprised that I didn't totally hate it. I didn't like it either. Plot was lame as hell, Mulder sports a hobo beard for way too long, and Scully came off her usual icy and dull self in the doctor scenes. No one who wasn't already a fan would see it. Plus, the usual chase scene in the usual industrial setting, with metal pipes, scaffolding, steam and catwalks everywhere. Yawn. And that shot of the agent falling to her death was the worst CGI I've seen in a movie ever. It was bad even by TV standards.

I had to rewatch that vampire episode where Scully and Mulder both review a case from their own point of view (in Scully's version, Mulder is an obnoxious egomaniac who can't even remember her name; in Mulder's version, Scully is a sarcastic, whiny bitch more interested in nailing the local vampire sheriff than in solving the case) to remind myself why I ever liked the show in the first place.

Posted by: DeadBessie at August 25, 2009 12:51 PM

X-Files probably should have ended after the first movie, and saved us from the mostly lousy Seasons 6 and 7, not to mention the Doggett/female agent whose name I can't remember years. THe last movie was extremely forgettable (and that's being kind)l but I'd still like Carter and Co. to have another chance to redeem themselves. There's nowhere to go but up, right?
