The New X-Files Movie!

I've been an X-phile ever since the pilot episode hit the small screen.
I love it!
I just recently bought the entire DVD set of all 9 seasons!!! I'm only on season 3 right now....some many shows, so little time.

Check out the X-Files web site for the official trailer.
I hope the Lone Gunmen make an appearance!!

I just realized that they died in the final season of the TV show....oops! I guess they won't be bringing them back. Too Bad.
