I'm probably the only person on this forum who never watched X-Files.

I never watched it either. It looked lame.

You need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Maybe if Scully's eyes covered half her face and Mulder was a giant robot with a sword, maybe then he'd have liked it better.

I still need to watch the last 6 and a half seasons of X-Files.

I still need to watch the last 6 and a half seasons of X-Files.

Why?

[Syt]

Because I haven't done so yet and still want to.

[Martinus]

(Re) watching tv shows after so many years (especially if you originally watched them as a kid) can be painful.

[Syt]

Well, since I watched the first two and a half seasons a few months ago and still enjoyed much of it I'm not overly worried about that in this case.

Incidentally the first script I ever wrote was an X-Files fan script when I was 16 

Mulder & Scully trapped in an elevator porno?

I honestly can't remember much about it. I also tried to write it in English as a way to learn the language.

Alphaville at the movie theater (the forty-minute drive one) tonight...

Whoa, fantastic even by 60s-Godard standards.  Cries out for immediate rewatching, with closer attention to the notions of language and time the film puts across. 

And what a joy to see something for the first time on the big screen, especially going into it with relatively few preconceptions as I did.  (Though I'm still jealous of my date, who saw Contempt for the first time in a theater.)

I'm the opposite of you; my first watching of "Alphaville" was a shitty VHS tape, in French with no subtitles, back in the 90s. I missed most of the stuff in the film, yet it still awed me. Fantastic movie.

Bah! Nothing like watching a movie on a 13 inch laptop with earbuds.

Bah! Nothing like watching a movie on a 13 inch laptop with earbuds.

Man, I hate those ear buds! They barely fit and it seems like they want to fall out all the time. I have other ear pieces with an attachment that wraps around your ear so they stay secure. A bit expensive though.

First season of The Americans is on Netflix. Watched the first two episodes; really liking it.

[Grey Fox]

Be aware it suffers from Homeland Teenage Daughter syndrome.
