X-Files trailers

I have unfortunately not been able to stay on top of and as obsessed over the new X-Files movie that is coming out on June 25th 2008. But nonetheless I have been able to keep up with it enough to continue being as excited over it as the next fan is. I haven't been able to take a week off to go to Geekcon or whatever other Cons are going on where Chris and Frank spill the beans about XF (there should be some sarcasm implied with that last statement as the truth is very little has been revealed about the film at all) but I am grateful to those who have devoted their entire lives to websites about it so that I can easily find up to date information. The newest thing I have discovered is the following new video as a trailer for the movie. It doesn't shows anything from the movie but it has some great moments and voice overs from the series and really does a great job of summing 9 years up. The annoying part about this video is unfortunately it was recorded by probably the most annoying group of girls in the world who feel it necessary to coo and aw every four seconds and scream as loud as they can when Mulder and Scully kiss even though we all know that they kissed already 8 years ago and its time to quit acting like teenagers about it and just be happy that they're together. Man alive the downside to being an X-Phile is having to deal with Shippers whose entire fanship of the show is based on Mulder and Scully's relationship and none of it on the great SciFi/Horror/Conspiracy Theory that the show gave the rest of us. Anyway, without further doodoo here's the video.



And since I haven't already posted about the official first trailer that was shown at Wondercon I'll include that as an added bonus here.



Gasp! Even bigger news. Just found a partial of the second Movie trailer with footage from the movie. There are a couple scenes that we haven't seen yet. Including Mulder telling Scully he needs her help. Interesting...

New XF2 Spoiler from CNN

So most of this is the same old that you've heard over and over in every news article about TXF2 since you started looking for more info about it. But there's is a little something new in there too. Enjoy!

'X-Files' creator spills some details about film

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The truth about "The X-Files" sequel -- some of it, anyway -- is now out there.

"X-Files" creator Chris Carter, writer Frank Spotnitz and other crew members gathered Wednesday to discuss the TV series -- and declassify some information about the upcoming film.

The popular Fox paranormal drama, which aired from 1993 to 2002, starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully

"While this is not a mythology movie, it's true to everything that's come before," Spotnitz said at the William S. Paley Television Festival. "It's true to Mulder and Scully, who they are and where they would be this point in their lives and all of the experiences that they've had."

The series first made the leap to the big screen with 1998's "The X-Files: Fight the Future." Plans for another film were grounded in 2005 when Carter sued Fox over syndication profits for the show. The lawsuit was later settled.

Carter, who also directs the new movie, said it takes place in the present and uses a story envisioned when the series ended. While the show's sprawling alien mythology isn't part of the plot, Carter said there is a reference to Scully's seemingly supernatural son, William, who was born in season eight and later given up for adoption.

The film is due out July 25.

Carter was tightlipped about the title.

"I can't tell you," he said. "I know what I want it to be, but Fox has some ideas of their own."

X-Files Limericks Season 1!

Get ready for some Sanpaco Rhyme Licks! Well I have been kind of busy lately with school and I don't think I've really had a whole lot of interesting or original thoughts. So for today's post I'm going to dig into the archives of some dumb poetry I've written over the past year or so. The following is a limerick for every episode of the first season of The X-Files. Hope you enjoy them.

Pilot

Exhuming a boy that was dead,
Finding a monkey instead.
Time loss at night,
And scary bug bites.
Dirty feet means he got out of bed.


Deep Throat

Test pilots going insane
Implies they aren't flying a plane.
When Mulder then spies
UFOs that fly by
The memory is erased from his brain.


Squeeze

Eugene Victor Tooms is a man
Who'll eat your liver with his bare hands.
He sleeps in his bile
And this gooey X-File
In thirty years will come back again.


Conduit

A sunburn at night by the lake
Can't be a weather balloon mistake
The girl is returned
By the trees that were burned
And her mother tells her it was fake.


The Jersey Devil

She'll tear out your lung if you piss her.
She's a cannibalistic sister.
One homeless man dead
Another in a hotel bed.
Mulder is sure gonna miss her.


Shadows

Her boss treated her like a dad.
Now he's dead and she's very sad.
Now he's a ghost.
Her new boss is toast.
He kills them all because he's mad.


Ghost in the Machine

A computer named COS
That everyone thought was the best.
A C.E.O. shocked
And FBI squashed;
Now a virus will lay it to rest.


Ice

A virus pulled out of the ice
Just didn't know how to play nice.
If infected you'll kill
Because you are ill.
The cure is to be infected twice.


Space

A girl who's fiance is flying,
And a captain unknowingly lying,
A ghost face from Mars
Flips over cars,
The captain tries helping by dying.


Fallen Angel

An invisible alien burns
All in his path where he turns.
A fun-loving schizo
Turns into a psycho
Abducted by aliens Mulder learns.


Eve

Psychopathic Eves escape
And to the young one's fathers exsanguinate.
Two little twins
Beginning to sin
Later escape with Eve 8.


Fire

A man controls fire so hot,
And burns Parliament members a lot.
Mulder's afraid
Of the fire he made,
And he burns himself when he is caught.


Beyond the Sea

Dana Scully's dad has died.
She misses him deep down inside.
When she works on a case,
She again sees his face
On a psychic criminal, then cried.


Gender Bender

A man or a woman? Who knows?
It turns out that 'it' is both.
Sleeping in clay
Then they all went away
In one of their UFOs.


Lazarus

An FBI agent survives
But has a different spirit inside
The criminal's wife
Then takes his life
Right after he remembers a snowy drive.


Young at Heart

A man who much older was
Now younger with a salamander glove.
When first he was caught
Mulder should have shot.
When he catches him again, he does.


E. B. E.

UFOs seen everywhere
Means something's definitely up there.
There's taps and bugs
Which Mulder unplugs
And give Scully a bit of a scare.


Miracle Man

The touch from the son of a preacher
Instead of a miracle brings a seizure.
A man dressed in black
Wants to go back.
He was dead at the start of the feature.


Shapes

A shape-shifting werewolf no doubt
Will eat something more than just trout
A man with a gun
Stopped all his fun
Then his son ripped his jugular out.


Darkness Falls

Loggers go cut down a tree
And let mini spiders go free
They come out at night
But stay out of the light
Sucking mositure out of you and me.


Tooms

Tooms hunting liver again
Has suddenly found a new friend
Mulder close by
On him keeps an eye
An escalator gives Tooms his end.


Born Again

If a man could come back from the dead
And live in a little girl's head
Revenge he would get
For the murder he met
By the guy that's now in his wife's bed.


Roland

Scientists keep getting killed
One by getting his head chilled
An evil twin's brain
Makes Roland cause pain
Because it projects to him its will.


The Erlenmeyer Flask

A doctor with alien DNA
From the syndicate runs away
A flask labeled "Purity"
Turns out not to be
The monkey pee, Scully will say

Welcome!

So apparently there is a real place called San Paco. I always thought I had made this name up out of the twisted imagination of a 7th grader all those years ago but alas I stand corrected. And unfortunately this means that anyone who has been looking forward to creating a blog called http://sanpaco.blogspot.com will soon find out that instead of the wonderful musings of yours truly, you will find scattered msn archives in spanish of Sergito, Dany, and Yasser. Sad news.

Anyway moving on, I have started this blog on a whim because I have been feeling bored lately and wanted a place to vent. I know a number of people who have their own blogs and they seem to be a lot healthier than me mentally and emotionally. So maybe this blogging is a part of it. Maybe not. In any case it sounds fun too.

Things you can look forward to:
- Personal venting ground for politics and life in general.
- Reviews! I am often listening to audiobooks or actually reading them, short stories, podcasts, watching tv and movies, and listening to music. I have written a number of reviews in the past on sites like IMDb and rateyourmusic. I will link to my profiles on these sites in the future and share my opinions and reviews on these topics on a regular basis.
- The X-Files! I am a geek. But yes I own every episode on DVD including the movie and I know what episode you are talking about just by you saying something like "that one with the weird bat thing that was attacking them on an island". Just as an example. With the recent news (including the recent wrap up of filming) for the X-Files sequel you can probably expect to hear a lot about that for the next while. I probably wouldn't rely on me for an official and up to date news source unless you are out of touch completely with the show and don't want to read all the other sites out there.

So that's about it. I look forward to keeping this up!

My first podcast plug goes to Librivox Stories. This is a podcast feed which provides a number of classic stories from artists such as Edgar Allen Poe, Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, and others. All Librivox recordings are in the Public Domain meaning they are no longer copyrighted and can be shared for all to enjoy for free. Their website is http://librivox.org and it has more than is on the podcast. Entire books by classic authors. While I was searching tonight I found they had one of C.S. Lewis' first writings called Spirits in Bondage and when I did that search I also found Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a book I've been wanting to read for a long time now. I also found Dante's Divine Comedy. I'm sure there is a lot more there for the taking and enjoying of any and all. Please check it out and if you are a good story teller you can even volunteer to be a reader.
