Fox Wants The X-Files BackMeanwhile, The US ratings for the spin-off The Lone Gunmen series have continued to slip to disastrous levels and there's already talk of cancellation.
"What a difference a year makes," Fox President Sandy Grushow said in his opening remarks. "We have turned this ship around. We have reconnected with our audience". Grushow cited the creative revival of Ally McBeal and The X-Files and noted that the network is in active talks with X-Files creator Chris Carter to bring that drama back for a ninth season in the fall.

In a marked change of style from her alien-hunting character in The X-Files, Gillian Anderson steps into the elite circle of late-19th century New York in this adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel. Similar to another Wharton novel adapted to the screen, The Age Of Innocence, The House Of Mirth shares its scathing commentary on the hypocrisy of polite New England society, but the story turns on a female character, Lily Bart. Interpreted by Anderson, this beautiful socialite seems to be on the brink of glittering success, but her position is revealed to be much more precarious than she believed. A victim caught between her heart and her head, Lily is troubled by the life-changing question of who she should marry, or if she should wed at all.

There’s a woman I’m in love with her it seemsHere's a plug for her website, Skeptical Scully's Random Acts Of Unpredictability.
A red headed beauty who inhabits all my dreams
She is the object of my infatuation
She works for the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Oh my Scully
Agent Scully
When will you be mine?
You’re called an analytical and that’s just fine
I love my Scully
And I guess it’s time I told her
I’ll be with her some day even if that means I have to kill Mulder
She’s in spacious at little green men
Yet if you ask her she’ll say she doesn’t believe in them
She always saves Mulder’s butt when he screws up a maneuver
She’s the prettiest FBI Agent in skirts since J. Edgar Hoover
Oh my Scully
Agent Scully
You are my one true love
As beautiful as an angel
Or an alien from above
When you yell freeze, FBI
It makes me shake and quiver
You’ve conquered monsters and things that are covered in goo and mucus and who have abilities to change their skeletal structure and fly like people and eat your liver.
You’ve been stung by bees that gave you the plague
The aliens kidnapped you and harvested your eggs
The government gave you cancer but gave you the anecdote too
The truth is out there and the truth is I love you
Oh my Scully
Agent Scully
Your monotone turns me on
You can do an autopsy while firing your gun
You’re hair and make-up looks great
And while you’re saving the world
Mulder gets killed at least once every year
And it’s getting so old we really don’t care
But our Scully, she’s always alive and she’s well
And I know it sounds safe to say she’s my secret agent girl
Oh my Scully!
Trust no one

Hey I'm back :-) What's Been Happening: On Sunday afternoon I went to add the news below to my site and got this message when I tried to login to Tripod: Please Note: cactus_ian is no longer an authorized member of Tripod. This Tripod member has been removed because they violated our Terms of Service. For more information, click here. If you feel that there has been a mistake, please contact us at abuse@tripod.com.I then got an e-mail from someone else to say his X-Files site on Tripod had also been shut down for violation of the Terms of Service, so I assumed it was for "breaching" 1013 and Fox's copyright. However it turns out there was a glitch as explained in this message posted by Gem to ausxfnews: Fannish network sources in the form of a contact with a Senior Programmer at Tripod, have informed us that, in fact, a sweeper bug at Tripod went insane this weekend, and deleted fully half their websites. There was no purge. There was no selective fannish bashing. It's apparently hugely embarassing to them, and they're working as fast as they can to get the sites restored.I then tried to login to Tripod again on Tuesday night and got this message: Dear Ian,Then today (Thursday) at 4:39 pm this e-mail message arrived: Dear Tripod member:Then this login message: Dear Ian, There's news below written on March 18 and March 20 that you won't have read yet. Thanks everyone for their support! |

Their marriage was said to be in trouble, but David Duchovny and Tea Leoni are to be parents again. The couple already have a 23-month old daughter named Madelaine. "We had a rule not to be away from each other for more than 20 days at a time( due to work), but we broke it," explains Tea of what caused the now-resolved tension.
X-File star Gillian Anderson refuses to see new horror flick Hannibal. Anderson who plays FBI special agent Dana Scully, told friends that it was down to her and Julianne Moore for the female lead in the Silence of the Lambs sequel. Moore beat her out to replace Jodie Foster in the role of the FBI psychological profiler Clarice Starling and turns in a superb performance. Anderson was so distraught that she cried for days, friends said.In additon to the 5 page David Duchovny article in the April issue of Dreamwatch (see below) there is a half page review on the Requiem video and a one page article where the magazine discussses the likely contenders for the father of Scully's baby. The main contenders are Mulder, Krycek, Skinner, Frohike and Cancerman.
Scully (Gillian Anderson) appears in this episode for about two minutes and Mulder (David Duchovny) isn't there at all - unless you count his brief appearance in the opening credits. Does this series really need its two founding characters? Judging by Robert Patrick's startling performance as Agent John Doggett in this installment, probably not. "This is damn weird," he says, examining an axe-bludgeoned corpse. "It gets weirder," notes Skinner (Mitch Pileggi). This is The X-Files at its creepy best, with a bonus appearance from The Lone Gunmen.X-Files It Isn't
X-Files creator laughs it up with a new showYou can read the full article on my Australian Media page.
On this rare escape from writing and producing The X-Files, Chris Carter might have preferred hitting the beach with his surfboard - his other passion. Instead, here he was in a cold, rainy city on the opposite coast, seated in a dark, deserted hotel bar named Journeys. He was here for one reason only: to talk about his new show The Lone Gunmen.

But, as so often happens in these films, the man she truly loves is poor Lawrence Selden. As Lily weighs up the pros and cons of marrying for wealth, she is drawn into a scandal that threatens her future.Thanks Angie on ausxfnews.
