Ongoing X-Files Thread of Doom...

Apparently there’s going to be a new directors cut of the movie on Hulu?
 
Specifically the second movie: 2008's I Want To Believe.



I remember it not being all that good and I don't think adding a bit more gore will make much difference.
 
I don't think I ever saw that one.
 
Billy Connolly was a paedo priest in it.
 
I heard, that is probably that put me off going to see it.
 
I would’ve bet good money there was only one movie. I wondered why the trailer didn’t seem familiar!
 
I have to remind myself they made two more seasons after that as well (one in 2016, one in 2018.)
 
Didn't they also make one or two in the 2020s
 
No. There's a pilot for a reboot from Ryan Coogler that hasn't been picked up yet (without Mulder and Scully.)
 
It was 2018, ,8 years ago, could have sworn it had only been a few years.
 
This thread has, somehow, become about "The X-Files" instead of whatever I happen to be watching on free over-the-air digital TV. So I shall risk derailing it because Movies! has had "Breakfast at Tiffany's" on lately. The first time, it was just starting and I only had an hour or so to spare so I skipped it and watched a 40 minute YouTube react video as compensation, but it was on again tonight and halfway through, so I decided to watch it.

I've got to say...I've got to say lots about "Breakfast at Tiffany's." First, I didn't see it until I was over 40. And I read the book much later. And I lived the story to a bit. So I love the ending of the movie, because it makes you happy. But it should've ended with Paul in the alley with the cat and Holly on a plane to Brazil. The book is much closer to reality. But not as satisfying. Because the movie is so fulfilling. If you're my age, it's hard not to see John "Hannibal" Smith of the A-Team, but if you can get past it, Peppard really is handsome and young in it. And Audrey Hepburn is just gorgeous. There's a couple scenes where you realize how tiny she is. And the chemistry between them is so good. Mickey Rooney's Mr. Yunoshi is...unfortunate. But you just have to be a little forgiving of the times and enjoy the story. And the rest of the film makes up for it. The cinematography, the sets and pacing, the dialog. Just great. And it's neat because it's New York City in color in 1961. It really helps you see a time that was just before my time.
