WORDS ARE CHEAP, BUT THANKS
I was in a theater Thursday night for a midnight showing of "I Want To Believe" and I feel compelled to tell you that it did NOT disappoint. It was everything that I love about "The X-Files" and so much more. I walked out in the end trying to process it all and put together all of the pieces, and I thank you and Chris Carter for that. It was so refreshing to use my brain instead of having to numb it.
Afterward I couldn't help but feel that intelligence and heart is dwindling in most of society today and that that would be the reason that "I Want To Believe" would be unappreciated. I have to admit that I hardly have much respect left for most critics after reading most of those reviews and it is more than disheartening to hear about fans who didn't appreciate this gem of a film. I feel that it is tremendously misunderstood by many. I guess you really can't please everyone. But I was tremendously pleased and touched because there was a beautiful realness to it all that will unfortunately go unnoticed and under-appreciated by those with unrealistic expectations (and not to mention, expectations that would be so untrue to the series and characters).
I had really missed Mulder and Scully and it was such a thrill to see them again. Having grown up watching the series and these characters, well...I get uncharacteristically giddy just thinking about it. If the numbers don't add up in the end and it's the reason that we don't get another look into the adventures of the duo, then I guess that's just the way the business goes. But we all know that "The X-Files" seemed to be somewhat of a rebel wonder among the much too empty and much too hyped in that very business. In my heart it's always been cult, and something that only a privileged few would be allowed to understand, appreciate, and love. I really saw the film as a gift and I appreciated it.
Words are cheap and I don't feel that I have even begun to truly express my thoughts adequately, but I would like you to know that I've always believed and I extend my deepest respects to all of you involved.
Hopefully this isn't the end,
