Well, I'll set my expectations to -1 and wait. I'm not against reboots and remakes, when they are done well.

My only concern is that if the show is done like modern ones, it'll be unwatchable. I don't want to watch 6 episodes and then wait 5 years for 3 more episodes. The original show had over 20 episodes per season, per year.

But we're all out of ideas, and we hate paying creative people a living wage.

Hmm, does that work when Mulder and Scully were already like the underdogs of the FBI?

Or would it be like X-Files cleanup crew?

So "Inside Job" on Netflix then. We already have an X Files Lower Decks show.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago

Kind of true, and kind of a similar type of humor, though I think a true "Lower Decks" spirit would have to feature regular low-level office workers as the main characters, rather than the director/manager types.

i figured that was the cleanup crew like in their flashbacks but now i’m not sure

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

You are probably right, it's so long ago that I watched X files, just remember Cancer Man and the scary silent Schwarzenegger looking dude.

Tried rewatching some years ago but, it feels like Voyager where it's best to lookup the good episodes before you start.

yea watching it now with my wife and man the mythos episodes were so bad sometimes

Asking "Who?" while using a device connected to the sum of all information publicly available is lazy. I'm not mad at you for being lazy but you seem so committed to being lazy that I can only think it is intentional and therefore worth calling you out. I'm lazy too, most of the time. Game recognize game.

If you had searched Ryan Coogler, you'd have found out his most recent film was an original film (not a remake) that he wrote, directed, and produced. It had very good reviews and outperformed box office expectations. Did you see it? If not, I recommend it. It is called Sinners.

Danielle Deadwyler waa someone I had to look up, but I recognized her. Her last film was The Woman in the Yard, which was ambitious but not really my thing. I guess it was that way for a bunch of viewers. That said, her screen presence was better than most. I would like to see what she can do paired with a talent like Coogler, in X-Files or any other project.

[-] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Sinners is currently my best film of the year pick

[-] Nycto@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I think it might be mine too. Calling out Coogler for remakes without considering this film seems like a troll or willful ignorance.

[-] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I really enjoyed Weapons as well. I have high hopes that Sinners will pioneer a flood of original horror/suspense films coming up.

[-] baines@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

yea i’m not going to read past the first line

i’m sure as shit not going to do some reboots job for them, looking stuff up

have a block for stupid personal attacks

[-] mmcintyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The personal attack didn't seem very stupid.

[-] Nycto@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I really didn't see this as a personal attack. I was criticizing the action (or in this case the inaction). I wasn't trying to be personally insulting. I even admitted to being lazy myself. Not sure how much more I could soften the blow.

Oh well.

[-] mmcintyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I really just meant the comment didn't seem stupid. I should have put quotes around personal attack.

[-] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 days ago

oh no stranger on internet agrees with other stranger

join him

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

og xfiles is the best, its better not to have a "reimagined" series.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago
