How many of you knew that Gore Verbinski (the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy) is producing and set to direct a video-game adaptation of Bioshock?

Oooh, oooh! I did! I did! I also didn't care! Hurrah!

I am looking forwards to the inevitable trade round up that is two words long and merely states "fuck you" cause I think that will aptly sum up my views on the subject of any Donnie Darko related sequel.

I'd heard the Buck Rogers thing was either not true or not happening now. Now where the hell did I see that? oh yes: http://io9.com/389638/frank-miller-not-directing-buck-rogers

I couldn't care less either way though. I quite like the sound of Bunraku though, despite having never heard of the thing before this round up.

And hurrah for the triumphant return of Ms Pink.

So, this Velvet Octopus... It's like Godoctopus's evil nemesis right?

Story and atmosphere-wise, Bioshock was probably the best game of last year. You can look up the opening trailer and an entire game playthrough on YouTube and...

There is no need. No need for a movie. The entire game is paced and structured with such cinematic precision it's ALREADY A GODDAMN MOVIE.

This is not only the EASIEST adaptation ever, it is also absolutely and completely unnecessary.

Also, hooray for Alabama Pink!

Alabama Pink, I hope you're feeling better! And Dustin, next time, please make that news the first thing in your story!!! I almost missed it after choking of the suckiness of the sequel news.

I read about the Darko sequel yesterday. I can't even muster up the venom to spew anything at this news other than...poopsticks. Blugh.

I second the hurrah for AlabamaPink breakin' outta the hospital. Get thee to a theater and enjoy Ironman, post haste!

Quite. There's probably no danger yet, but I know I'd be pissed if being in the hospital made me have to go to one of the smaller rooms in the multiplex. But now might be the sweet spot when you can pick where you want to sit in the big one. Have at it, Pink!

Dustin, I'm really disappointed. You mention Buck Rogers, but neglect to mention that Greg Evigan is BJ! Anything after that's just....other stuff.

I've never seen "Donnie Darko" and don't care if I never do. What a relief, as you all seem pretty pisssed.

Is Audrina Partridge the one who wants to destroy Heidi or Lauren or whoever it is? I saw something like that on a tabloid cover a few days ago. They actually used the word "destroy" in reference to the petty rivalries on that soap opera or reality show or whatever it is. I truly don't understand that crap, and hope I never do.

Good luck, 'Bama.

Yay for Pink! Go get your Ironman on, you deserve it.

How do you make a sequel to Donnie Darko? And more importantly, who's going to watch it? All the really devoted DD fans will condemn it as sacrilege, those of us who watched and were like "meh, interesting enough but whatever" won't be interested in seeing it, and people who have never seen the original won't bother going. What, exactly, is the target audience for this film? Dumb-ass Hot Topic hangers-on who will be tricked by the Donnie Darko pedigree are the only ones I can think of.

Congrats Pink! Fingers crossed .500, 500!
Enjoy your time at home!

I realize I should have couched my 'angry! literally angry with rage!' comment with some sort of film collary.

Remember the remake of Psycho? Where he shot every scene exactly the same as the original, and everyone wondered why anyone even bothered?

The Bioshock thing? It's that.

Also, in case anyone has a couple hours to kill, here's a playlist for the complete game. At least watch through the opening, or find the higher-res version and watch that. It's gorgeously done.

Is the Bush administration now in control of the movie studios? Jebus what a mess.

Good thoughts and congratulations AP.

I think the main reason (other than it being awesome stoned) that Donnie Darko was such a cult hit is because it was different, original, and provoked some level of thought and/or discussion. Do they not realize that a sequel completely negates all of these key attributes? It's kind of like the Matrix movies. When the first one came out, no one had really seen anything like it (plus, it too was awesome stoned), it provoked some discussion, but really left nowhere uncharted to explore so we ended up getting albino Rastafarians and a crucified Keanu in the next two. Not that DD or the Matrix are among my favorite movies, but the sequels ultimately ruined any lasting appeal of the Matrix and I have a feeling a sequel would do the same for DD.

Also, on a somewhat related topic, when I saw the first Matrix in a theater on the border of east Baltimore, I peed 2 urinals down from one in which a crackhead was masturbating. The same theater allowed hobos inside the building to ask you for change while you stood in line for tickets. Ahhh, Baltimore, they don't call you Charm City for nothin'.

Dustin, I am going to pretend that you started the round-up with the awesome news about AlabamaPink (yay!! Go Pink! Go to see Iron Man!) and that those first two items simply don't exist

also, a question for all you UK people out there Is it possible to live on 20,000 pounds a year over there? (or am I going to have to find a second job...eek)

Glad to hear AlabamaPink's out of the hospital!

Bethy: My salary's £12,500 per annum, and I'm just about scraping by, sharing a three bedroom house for which my two housemates pay £250 each in rent, and I pay £250 a month into a account from which the bills are direct debited. I'm not exactly living it up, but I'm coping.

As for the Bioshock movie - I actually reckon a TV series based on the premise might work better - perhaps as a prequel to the events of the game?

Jay, thank goodness I am not the only one to remember BJ and the Bear--but only from the ads. I didn't watch it. However, I was probably watching something equally stupid.

Hurrah for A.pink! Let your loved ones wait on you hand and foot for at least a week before you lift a finger, honey.

The X-Files trailer...So glorious...Duchovny's gone middle-aged but I don't even give a shit...BILLY CONNOLLY! Nobody told me Billy Connolly was in this! Gloriosity just increased 40%!

It's good to have a movie to look forward to.

Bioshock was an okay game with a Fucking Amazing Story to tell so people mistook it for am amazing game. With two amazing twists and a lame ass final boss the movie has half a chance in hell to not suck.

Oh I was a dutiful viewer. I suppose I must have watched the spinoff, "Lobo", but I don't think it lasted too long.

Either way, BJ was definitely better than "The Highwayman", since any show co-starring Jacko was not going to be as good as a show co-starring an ape.

Now, you all DO remember Jacko, right?

Though I've loved Billy Connolly in many a role, I always always think of him as Billy Bones from Muppet Treasure Island. That, or him shooting the cat in Boondock Saints.

I've never been able to sit through Donnie Darko, I've seen the first 45 minutes about 10 times, and to this day I can't muster anything other than indifference about it.

I don't care how bad the X-Files sequel is, I will be first in line at the premiere.

My woman crush for Gillian Anderson knows no boundaries.

Snarky just isn't in my vocabulary today. Who gives a crap if there are horrendous sequels on the horizon?
- My adorable nephews called me this morning to sing an enthusiastic and off-key version of Happy Birthday. I get positively giddy on my birthday;
- Mr. Pea and I bought our wedding rings last night. One more thing crossed off the list;
- Our beloved Ms. Pink gets to go home. What could be better news?

I hear ya Faye!

I heard about this. I'm choosing to pretend it doesn't exist. You know it's going to be just awful.

By the way - how exactly does one suck a fuck?

Just got around to watching the X-Files trailer and I think that this year I'm going to be Scully for Halloween. Now I just need to find a suitable Mulder. I also want to be Scully when I grow up but I'm not in med school nor do I have a tall handsome, insufferable man dragging me into peril constantly.

Also, MC Peepants, are you Ball'mer native or transplant? I grew up in PG County but I've got a lot of family round that way, and I have a deep wish for Baltimore to heal itself. What other city has a museum dedicated to art made by crazy people? And the Aquarium is awesome.

Okay, I have to say one thing about it (it = Donnie Darko sequel). The original comes full circle - everything is resolved, the hole in the universe is patched up thanks to Donnie's sacrifice, and the world continues as it always was.

So WHY would things continue to happen to his sister? The original left no room for this. Anybody attempting to make a sequel for the right reasons should know this.

also, a question for all you UK people out there Is it possible to live on 20,000 pounds a year over there? (or am I going to have to find a second job...eek)

Bethy: That's an easily survivable-on amount, even in London. I'm going to end up being on about 14K next year (tax free hotness as it's student loans plus bursary, excellent) and was on less as a student and I've survived it in our fair capital without getting massively into debt

[Alex whistles and pushes bank statement under a nearby newspaper]

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy In My Pants is too easy for this crowd, right? Let's not swing at the easy ones.

Pardon me for hijacking this comment thread and steering it to another topic, but it's YOU PEOPLE's fault that I am now tearing somewhat obsessively through the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. Someone could have warned me about the very, very awful "Beer Bad" episode in Season 4.

Yay! for AlabamaPink breaking out of the hospital and into a movie theatre!

Pea Happy Birthday! My nephew left me the cutest message on my answering machine on my birthday (he's 2), so I totally hear ya on the giddiness. The saddest part of our recent move was disconnecting our digital answering machine and losing that message. *#$&% digital answering machines.

Paris, I actually thought that "Beer Bad" was rather funny. Won't apologize for you being introduced to such a wonderful series. It's good for you.

Wonderful news, Manda! I'm so happy for you!

Aaaaaannnd, everything else is meh.

Rusty: I went to college in B-more, have a lot of friends still there and have been back probably once a month since (I'm in Philly, so it's close). It's amazing how much has changed there for the better (Canton/Fed. Hill redevelopment, Hampden resurgence) and how much has not (public school system, East Balt) since I left. There certainly haven't been 3 crime series set there for no reason.

On a fun trivia note, a friend's dad had a cameo in a couple episodes of the last season of The Wire (retired Sun writer, had a line in one episode) and another has a couch that was a set piece on Homicide (it's really uncomfortable though).

thanks Dill and Alex, I feel better now
I make around 30K here in the states, and I am pretty much living paycheck to paycheck
I had heard the London is a very expensive place to live (although I am not sure if I will be there or not), so I was getting a tad bit aprehensive

Happy Birthday Pea!

Paris, I hear ya on tearing through Buffy, the Boy and are in doing the same exact thing, it is damn addicting

oh, and Alex, what is this "tax free hotness as it's student loans plus bursary" you speak of?

Hopefully "Bioshock: The Movie" will be more encompassing of the story of Rapture than the game was. I don't think it's necessary, but maybe if it concentrates on the city when it was utopian and than catalogues the inhabitants descent into lunacy it may be worth seeing.

S.Darko will ONLY be worthwhile if Daveigh Chase does her sinister Samara voice from "The Ring" the entire time. She's probably outgrown it by now but DAMN that girl was creepy.

Nah, nothing will make S.Darko worth watching.

"Buck Rogers" without Gil Gerard or Erin Grey? And you just KNOW Twiggy is going to be a hulking beast of a robot now. Pass.

Glad to hear you are going home, Bama!

Julie, I hate to have to correct you, as I normally adore you, but Billy didn't shoot the cat. That was Rocco. We watched that movie way too many times in college...

Bethy, I think she means her income will be loans and academic grants so there'll be no deductions from the gross amount.

Bethy: As of September I will be training to educate the nation's youth (I'll give you guys a minute to either stop shrieking in horror or catch your breath from all the laughing) so the government's giving me 9K to train and I'll be taking out an extra 5K of loans on top of that to cover my fees etc.

Yes, over 20K of student loans here I come! Woo!

So as Jay said: I'm getting the amount stated on the tin next year rather than the fake amount shown on my current payslip before all the lovely tax is taken from me.

And yes, London is insanely pricey, I'm on 21K pre tax and I too live paycheque to paycheque but I spend a shit ton of money on being debauched (alcohol, tattoos, high heels) and geeky (comic books, sci-fi on DVD, video games) so it is possible to survive on a lot less.

Are you coming to London then? Are ya? Are ya? If you ever need someone to show you around (and possibly lose you in a Soho backstreet) give me a shout.

I bow to the lovely Miss Pink. Good on you, girl!

and

mmmmm.....Moulder.

OMG so excited for X-Files! It will be amazing, two hours of Scully/Mulder sexual tension, I'm in!! The biggest girl crush of my life, has been on Agent Scully.

Bioshock is one of the most gorgeous looking games ever made, and it's also one of the best reviewed games ever made as well.

You really can't judge it by a one or two sentence description from Wikipedia, anymore than you could Donnie Darko.

I don't care a whit for any of this news, except that Manda gets to go home. That warms my cold, dead heart.

In other news, a motherfucking woodpecker has taken up residence in a large tree of indeterminate species right outside my bedroom window. The woodpecker is an early riser. I am pissed off, sleep deprived, stuck at work and bored silly. I've had two energy drinks and it's only 11am. Buckle your chin straps, my lovelies.

ahhhh, I see Jay and Alex
shucks, I was really hoping it meant that by some divine miracle if you had student loans (and do I ever) no tax would be taken out of your paychecks (or paycheques soon)

I was all prepped to get very excited

shucks

and I do not know where I will be yet Alex
Lincoln for July for some training/classes, but they have not sent me the info on where I will be after that yet
but if I manage to end up in London (which is what I am rooting/praying/small sacrificing for) I am all for getting lost in a Soho backstreet

Yeah, MC Peepants, it's getting better but it's gonna take an act of God to clear out the drug problems in that city. My family's sitting on a Victorian era 4 story house inside city limits where my great-grandma raised 9 kids and we don't have the first clue what to do with it. It's a beautiful house but it needs work and the location sucks.

Although now that the Virgin Mobile Festival has adopted Pimlico as it's home the promise of tourist dollars may help motivate the city to clean up.

Bistro, I thought that when I read it but I couldn't remember for sure. Thank you for confirming that I'm not crazy.

I geekgasmed when the notes to the intro song of X-Files played. Sneeee-heee-heeeeeee...
P.S. The title of this post makes excellent dinner conversation. I never made it all the way through DD, but I remember that hawt english teacher who curses.

Happy birthday, Pea, and congrats on the wedding ring shopping! When's the big day?

Ms. Pink, I've got my fingers crossed that you've received the final all clear to go home (come on, 500!).

Sarina, he should stop once the breeding season is done...noisy territorial bastards....(woodpeckers, I mean) Good luck with that; wish I knew of any gentle deterrents for you to try. It's not in my nature to suggest "BB gun," but if you were to get that crazy idea from somewhere, I'm sure it'd be effective!

Oh YEAH!! Thanks Bistro, I need to rewatch that movie ASAP. :)

Happy birthday Pea!

Sarina, buy a Supersoaker, fill it with gasoline, grab a lighter, and voila! Your own birdy cookin flamethrower.

As you can tell, I am sick and stabby. Cute little animals beware.

I don't want the woodpecker to die, just to shut the hell up. Or at very least, to hold off on the jackhammering until 6am. That goddamn bird is so uncivilised.

Simon loves it, though. He sits on the window sill just waiting for his little bird boyfriend to show up. Then when he does, I am treated to a pre-dawn cacophonous symphony of pecking, twittering, flapping wings, meowing, and hissing.

Assholes. All of them. ASSHOLES.

Sarina, in my high school days, I used to be woken up on summer mornings at 5am to a blue jay and a squirrel that would have screaming matches at each other over which of them owned the tree that was 10 feet out my bedroom window. I feel your pain.

I never watched X-Files, but damn, I really like that theme music.

Bioshock is predestined to suck ass. It's in the cards. There will never be a good movie based on a video game, even a cake walk like this. Someone's gonna fuck it up.

Bunraku sounds tight. S. Darko sounds ... the opposite of tight. Loose, I suppose.

And congrats Pink; I have no idea who you are, but I hope you're feeling better.

Can I also just say that this html virgin has only just finally figured out how to bold and italicize things thanks to reading this site for longer than I can remember.

I know, I'm a slow learner, but it makes me feel giddy.

Haha, I hear ya Bistro, I think I really messed it up once, so I ended up testing it on one of the older movie reviews so I wouldn't embarrass myself the next time.

Kinda like that.

Unnecessary McNabb jab, Dustin. Unnecessary.

Thanks everyone! This is turning out to be a pretty sweet day.
MO, big day is August 9... I still have plenty of time, but I do enjoy being organized.

Bistro, I know exactly how you feel

I was doing happy dances in my office when I first figured out the html tags worked (with lots of help from fellow Pajibians),and my pots over the next few days were over-bolded and over-italisized because I could now

I like to think I have mellowed out since....

Holy crap Pea, you and Mr. Pea are getting married on the same day as me and (soon to be) Mrs. Bistro!

I too was so happy when I figured out the html tags, they help to better convey my murderous tendencies and my perversions...much like my diary.

I hereby demand that Pea and Bistro have a double wedding. I don't care that you don't really know each other or that you probably live in different states and possibly different countries. Make it happen. Also, please wear Pajiba t-shirts, be as drunk as possible, and film the whole thing. And please name your firstborn child Minimus. If you have twins, they must be named Godtopus and Jesusquid.

Hey, congrats Bistro! Hope Godtopus gives us good weather.

Unnecessary McNabb jab, Dustin. Unnecessary.

Seconded.

Oh, my. Sarina is rapid-loading the energy drinks. I need to find somewhere to hide out. Y'all, she is awesome but scary when amped.

MANDA! I am so happy I'm doing a little dance in my chair. It's a shame no one is here to see me. You are number one.

On a sad note, my friend who was diagnosed with AL in September 2005 and cleared March 2007 got the results of his bone marrow biopsy yesterday and the bitch is back. So he's heading into what Manda just finished. Keep 'im in your thoughts, please.

Oh, and the X-Files movie? Can. Not. Wait. Squee!

But Servo, your murderousy perversion is so cute.

Aww, weddings and babies and birthdays and happy news all around here these days! Pajibaland is all aglow! *grin*

I have so little to share...other than the recently laid-off Mr. MO has been called back to work after about 2 weeks, so my sugar mama duties have been abruptly terminated...too bad, I kind of liked calling myself a sugar mama....

Oh, and it's gloriously sunny today, after having received an inch of snow on Sunday.

Okay... I'm in Toronto. Bistro can you make it here for August 9? I can guarantee the "drunk as possible" part that Sarina decreed (hooray for open bar).

As someone in the throes of trying to get just little damn cells to play nice with plasmids (with a staggering degree of failure), I suspect I will be completely unable to suspend my disbelief at Bioshock. Plasmids working efficiently and reproducibly enough to actually be useful? HA! I say, HA HA! Bull pucky.
Anyway, on a happier note, yay for AlabamaPink!

What the fucking fuck? They are making a sequel to "Into the Blue"? As in, the crappy movie that was released the same day as "Serenity"? The one that had bad actors, generally sucked more and grossed less?

I can't put it into words, but that really pisses me off.

The X-Files: I Want Fox Mulder in My Pants.

Wait... I think I did that one wrong...

Congrats and best wishes to Pink!

Wait... I think I did that one wrong...

Oh NO you didn't. It was just right.

And word Jadeblue, did anyone other than slobbering teenagers hoping for a glimpse of Alba side-boob see that movie?

Bethy:

You should be able to live in Lincoln quite easily on 20K sterling (unless you decide to drive), but if you're really clever, you'll pretend it's much less and mooch off others as much as possible, squirrel up all the sterling you can and return to the US a millionaire. It's already 2:1 and by the end of the year the dollar will only be worth pennies on the pound so you can lord it over all of us with your wealth.

tt_marie : Sucking a fuck? Wouldn't that be felching? I think it is.

Man, I go to lunch and come back to some heavy demands.

Pea, our wedding will be in Madison, WI. I'd love to visit Toronto some time, but I don't think Mrs. Bistro is up for moving the wedding. Especially at this late date. But we too have the open bar option.

As for Sarina's other demands, I find it equally unlikely Mrs. Bistro would appreciate the baby names, but I can always try. And as for the Pajiba t-shirt, I'd gladly wear one under my suit! But I haven't heard if they're available yet. In fact, Dammit Janet is the only person I'm aware of who has one. What gives!? Are any for sale yet?

Simon loves it, though. He sits on the window sill just waiting for his little bird boyfriend to show up. Then when he does, I am treated to a pre-dawn cacophonous symphony of pecking, twittering, flapping wings, meowing, and hissing.

Don't you just love cats? Mine have the 3 am racetrack circuit. It loops throughout the house, across hardwood and tile, across the bed that I am sleeping in, and is repeated about 3 times a night. Occasionally there is fighting that will occur on the bed that I am sleeping in. If I did not love the furry things and the gigantic female was not terrified of trees, dirt, and grass, they would be outside cats.

What gives!? Are any for sale yet?

Patience, my pretty! I thought you weren't getting married until August? That's PLENTY of time.

Know what else that's plenty of time for? Convincing Mrs. Bistro that Minimus, Godtopus and Jesusquid are not only viable but perfectly lovely names for the fruit of your collective loins. C'mon...at least middle names? No? FINE. Then I demand you at least get a dog and/or rename your current dog. What's not cute about a dog named Godtopus?

Yip, yip! I AM home, finally. The docs gave me the okay to be released on furlough. My blood counts were inconclusive, so I am still on germ watch (still no fresh fruits or veggies, no flowers, no public places with lots of people). Here's hoping at my follow up on Wednesday that they'll find only good things and take me off germ-phobia.

Then and only then will I be released into my own recognizance to take in a showing of Iron Man.

And this girlie has the only other Pajiba t-shirt, but I had to get leukemia first to get it. Sometimes there are benefits to having The Cancer. Like saving money on hair products and scoring free Pajiba garb.

Nicole, your friend's in my thoughts and prayers. I'll gladly lend him the Zombie Warrior if he needs her.

I have a shirt too! And it is delicious.

'Bama, welcome home!!

What's not cute about a dog named Godtopus?

EVERYTHING is cute about that.

Nicole, if AP's Zombie Warrior doesn't work, lend your friend the book Ender's Game. Imagine the nasty cells as Buggers waiting to be destroyed.

I'm a science geek, so I would imagine the cancer stem cells as the Hive Queen, cuz you have to wipe out those suckers to wipe out the rest of the cancer.

If I ever get a dog, I am naming it Godtopus, the Boy won't be able to do anything about it, as he got to name the cat

Welcome home Pink! I say you demand they clear out the movie theater of other people and disinfect the whole place so you can go see Iron Man right. this. second.

and Paddy, I will only be in Lincoln for a month, I have yet to hear where I will be living for the rest of the year (fingers crossed for London), so I may be squirelling away slightly less than planned. But don't think world domination hadn't crossed my mind with the exchange rates being what they are (although seeing my measly savings get cut in half upon entering England is not something I look forward to)

and no way in hell am I driving over there. I would be like Mrs Featherbottom in Arrested Development, only in reverse

Is that Xzibit in the X-Files trailer? What the fuck...

A Donnie Darko sequal, an Into the motherfucking Blue sequal, another SNL-based movie, another movie based on a video game and now Xzibit is in the X-Files movie? Fuck you, Hollywood.

Now get to work on Iron Man 2 before you completely ruin what little respect you were starting to gain back from me.

So now Rainn Wilson is taking movie roles that Jack Black turned down? Fabulous.

Is it the residual Dwight Schrute effect that made me giggle a bit about that clip?
Also, when I first heard about the Bioshock movie I thought they said Roman Polanski was directing. I don't even know if he's still alive, or is he in some Eastern European country nowadays? Some kind of controversy involved, eh?
Anyways, Hollywood! Don't screw this one up, Would you kindly?

Since I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally don't give a shit about any of the above mentioned movies (I am a grown up and all) just let me get to the point...

ALABAMAPINK IS GOING HOME!!!!!!!!!!

you get the champagne and I'll get the dvd player it's PARTY time!

Alabama Pink, congratulations on your escape/discharge from the hospital!

An "X-files" movie? I am SO there. Yippee!

Big flashlights?
Dark, ominous corners?
Billy Connolly and that lovely accent?
David Duchovny in a black mock turtle and leather? Seriously, I think I just creamed my jeans...

Yay Pink! Best of luck on Germ Watch.

Hooray Pink!!! So glad to hear youʻre home. I wish you the very finest of blood counts...

"it was different, original, and provoked some level of thought and/or discussion. Do they not realize that a sequel completely negates all of these key attributes?"

Well, MC Peepants, considering that the director of Donnie Darko seemed to misapprehend the appeal of his own film when he released a revised cut that all but eliminated the sense of mystery from the movie, it's not so surprising that others don't understand the alchemy of the thing.

...the director of Donnie Darko seemed to misapprehend the appeal of his own film when he released a revised cut that all but eliminated the sense of mystery from the movie...

Yeah, that he did. Who was the editor of the theatrical version? I'll have to check my DVD box...um, some time. That guy or gal deserves some kind of award.

What's Billy Connolly' role in the X-Files movie? Lone Gunman Langley's dad?

Woo hoo! X-Fiiiiiles! Mulder and Scully! WOO HOO!
Um....yeah, I'm done now.

Mmmmm, it seems he is very interested in dating wealthy young woman. I saw him on "S e e k i n g R i c h . c o m " last week.

RE Langley's dad (heh, good one): Kinda pissed they killed off the Lone Gunmen so they can't be in the movies (unless they do a flashback thingie, which they totally should, now that I'm thinking about it).

And am I the only one who has never liked the X-Files theme song?

Damn, i want my own GPS powered Murdertank. Well, a man can dream...

And am I the only one who has never liked the X-Files theme song?

I've never really loved the version used on the show, though I like the notes Marc Snow wrote. The way it was used in the "Fight The Future" score and the accompanying Dust Brothers version on the other soundtrack I do quite like.
