Finally! It's here!

Yep, that's what I'm talking about, people - the new X-Files movie starts today and I am SO PSYCHED to see it right after work. God, I've been waiting for this for six years! I know hardly anything about the plot, thanks to Chris Carter keeping a tight lid on things, for which I'm grateful. I actually didn't want to be spoiled for this.

I dug out all my old X-Files shirts and I've been wearing a different one each day this week (along with my XF watch!). My co-workers have been greatly amused by this. :-)

See, X-Files holds a special place in my heart. I'd been watching the show from day one, and as soon as I got my first home computer I went searching for XF online and came across a newsgroup for it. (Anyone remember those? *g*)

I picked up my AgtSpooky nickname right away, courtesy of Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder and I've had the name ever since.

The newsgroup also initiated me into the world of fanfic, and I wrote my first fanfic story ever, Two of Hearts, a Mulder/Scully 'shipper fic. Yes, that's right, I'm a 'shipper and proud of it! To this day I think Mulder and Scully make an amazing couple.

I wrote many M/S fics until I came across my first ever slash fic, called A Living X-File, with Mulder and Skinner, a crossover with The Sentinel, that I was currently watching at the time. Well, wow, were my eyes ever opened after reading that! LOL!

Soon after that I wrote my first ever Mulder/Skinner slash story, called One Step at A Time. It was due to that story that I met my friend mayphoenix. [waves! Hi sweetie!]

I was at countless X-Files conventions during the heyday of the show and collected tons of memoribilia, which I still have, and went to see the first movie, Fight the Future, about a dozen times in the theater. :-)

So yeah, I'm a bit excited to be seeing Mulder and Scully again after all these years and I hope the movie does well so that we can see them again.

Any of you excited about the movie, too?

Did you see it? Your reactions?

I saw it this afternoon.

Sorry for the late reply!

I've seen it twice now, and I have to admit I was a little disappointed. The pacing, IMO, was too slow. And it didn't feel like an XF episode to me. More like horror with all the body parts, and Mulder and Scully were separated too much for my liking. But the relationship stuff we did get between them was great. :-) But that kiss at the end was filmed so horribly! I wanted to see more than the back of Mulder's head! Argh!

Skinner popping up was hands down the best part of the movie. Everyone in the theater cheered. :-) And my slashy heart nearly exploded when he gathered Mulder up into his arms and started stroking his hair! Squee!

I also had no idea that Nicki Aycox was in it! When fandoms collide!

So what did YOU think of it?
