X-Files 2 Set Photos -- Mulder and Scully Get Some Lovin' (Spoiler Alert)
Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fandom, 20th Century Fox, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Images
Oh, X-Files. There was a time in say, 1996, when the sight of these photos would have sent me racing to the official X-Phile board, logging in under my screen name IMScully33 (and yes, if you see it in the AICN Talkbacks -- that is me), and engaging in excited speculation.Now I can only rouse a mild interest in these spy photos, courtesy of Flynet Online and fresh from the set of The Untitled X-Files Sequel. It's my duty to warn you of spoilers (although I pretty much gave it away in that title) but I have to say. . .is this really a spoiler? Didn't Mulder and Scully have sex off-screen and produce a child, thus rendering this pretty unexciting?
The time for them to kiss was back in X-Files: Fight the Future -- and you let us down, Chris Carter. Stop trying to make up for that off screen consummation!
This truly causes me pain. It brings to mind my blissfully misspent youth, which I spent pondering aliens, conspiracy theories, and buying all those episode guides. I was even a Scully lookalike at the tender age of 17. (I even appeared in an issue of The Official X-Files Magazine. I was that good.) In so many ways, The X-Files helped make me the geek I am today -- and also the bitter cynic who sits snarking on this post now. I want it to be 1996 again so I'm actually excited by the release of a second X-Files movie, and sighing over the possibility that two brilliant and lonely FBI Agents will get together.

I know how you feel when they were about to kiss on the film and dind't -my child nin year old heart was broken because of that too- but if I remember correctly, they did kiss on the series, at least once, I remember one episode that was set on new year's eve, I can't recall the year, but they gave each other a small peck on the lips. I guess the fans back then were delighted.
Now, not that I want to shatter some dreams -though in your case, dear Elisabeth, won't matter- but you guys remember the uproar about those werewolf costume pictures that turn out to be fake? Though yeah, they do have a son together, so, I don't see a reason why Mulder and Scully wouldn't be physically affectionate to each other on the film.

I always assumed they got into a wild sex frenzy as soon as the credits rolled for the series finale.

Well, unfortunately I can't provide a direct link to a photo because I don't want the world rooting through my Photobucket.
But there are two photos, and a scan of the magazine page, over on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/redheadedslav
If you don't have a MySpace account, I guess you'll have to sign up if you want it bad enough!

Big deal...they kissed! Who cares! As long as the movie turns out to be good I do not care if they kiss, go to bed, whatever! Deep down Mulder always wanted to be her shoogga boogga.

I especially like that you went on to meet one of the Lone Gunman...nice closure to a misspent youth. Long live Agent Scully, the thinking man's strumpet.

brovi says: A Real Nazi X-File 2 - Still!
"I'm tired of fighting it." [GA, 2008]
As everyone knows the Nazi Bush/Hollywood clan supported the Nazi Party until 1942; the Bushes financially supported Germany's Nazi war-machine; and Nazi Hollywood assisted in supporting their propaganda-machine. For those who haven't done the research, it's no longer difficult to uncover. Though today's US Nazi Bush/Hollywood regime are on the outs -via a behind the scene-saving face upright elite minority group which is known as Rudolph- it still has some teeth. There was a silent and successful coup overtaking old Nazi Hollywood's management September of last year and most name brand actors, as Anderson, have been laying low until things are sorted out. Anderson was about six years ahead of her time and perhaps one of the first US fighters of the resistance. In large part, those here in LA, CA., especially actors, are certainly aware that old corp. Hollywood is totally a 'Nazi Landing' responsible for managing the US iron-curtain media-monopoly; a propaganda-machine that crushes the majority's voice and dumbs down the whole society.
It's critically important, when referencing Anderson, to understand that the management of the Fox's X-Files (crime-dogs) could definitely be considered the poster-child for the Bush/Hollywood Nazi propaganda regime. When Anderson -who hates Nazis- said no more in 2002, was like standing in the headquarters of the SS. in WWII Germany and telling them to shut their frigging gourd! Wow! In hindsight, it's obvious Anderson's hate for corp. oppressing Nazis got her into something way beyond her maturity level. Moreover, she did have enough sense to get out of the US once she told them what they could do with their regime's voice or hot garbage juice.
The upright majority understands that old Hollywood is the reincarnation of Dr. Goebbels's propaganda machine in WWII Germany, overseen by the SS Gestapo. If one is employed -once- by old Hollywood, they become the property of today's Nazi propaganda department, old Hollywood. An actor has little if any choice in the matter, concerning what project Nazi Hollywood dictates. For Anderson to have survived at all after denouncing them -and still does- with the great popularity that that regime built her up with, ...well, she's either scary smart and/or the one of the luckiest people on the planet -or both. This holds true in conjunction with the fact that though, plotting and devious Nazis are ignorant nerdy dorks. 'Hell's yeah!' They're so egotistically grandiose, it cuts off oxygen to their brains. Consequently Nazis are simple minded and easy enough to dupe if one is half awake. Honestly, truly, Anderson deserves an award for her outward public persona when dealing within their forced propaganda events and absolutely for her way cool style of out playing them. For real, Anderson is a master of blatant while hidden one-liners, tell-all facial expressions, tones, dress and demeanor. Awesome! How does a true artist survive under a Nazi regime? Like we always have -for 2008 years- "Crafty as a snake and innocent as a dove."
Anderson, though between the lines, has been taking her inside information and warning the public about the US 'iron curtain' media since 2002 -supporting the resistance movement here in the US. No way is sucking face with Nazis Anderson's thing. Rumor is, Anderson's off fascism and Nazi sympathizers. She is no longer mentally burnt (worked to death for a decade via X-Files) nor is she that same naive youngster. She is aware how hard she hit their moneybags -and cream sauces- in 2002 by resigning at high ratings, and of the fact that Nazis never forget a betrayal. They have stalked, slandered, blackballed and tormented her for six years. These are dangerous people with no soul and Anderson is not only a threat to them, she is perhaps the only actor that beat them at their own game -and lived to talk, and talk she still does.
It was inevitable that these Nazi Hollywood dorks would endeavor to make a few more tainted bucks on their way out. More importantly, doing so at the expense of one of their most hated victims, Anderson, would be a scoffing feather in their cap. In their weakened state and with her lawyers we can only hope that this fighter of the resistance is calling all the shots concerning her, most probable, coerced involvement with this Nazi X-Files2 -Nazi project of revenge, humiliating GA's involvement.
Research shows, it seems, that she managed only (probably for big buck$) to lend her box-office appeal name to it, not her time, heart or career. We don't envy her having to face the recent perpetrators -and Nazi sympathizers- of her personal and professional life again. Maybe she will gain more strength from the experience. Endurance and courage must be Anderson's intimate friends, as are we who have followed her lead in joining the resistance. Her thankless sacrifices made for individual and social correctness (for the betterment of society) are not ever forgotten; via her stand against Nazis; at great, enough, cost to her first motherhood, career and personal life.
The shockingly cavalier attitude of the majority in today's US society stinks worse than it's abandonment (Nazi sympathizers.) However, it wasn't shocking when Rotten Tomato (US Nazi rag) asked DD & GA what they could tell us about the movie. In true Nazi form, David (gross) laughingly turned to Anderson, and made some tangy and delicious infused comment about the plot. Finger on the trigger Anderson only responded with, "I got tired of fighting it." Sweet! It's refreshing to know that -some- even after being oppressed for years because of their stand against the Nazi Party never cave in regardless. Not much at all has changed between DD & GA.
Naturally, history books will not recognize Anderson, nor mention and/or depict this fascist moment in our shameful current history. However, if one person secretly saves just one other person because something deep inside compels them to fight against the vile -especially when at great personal risk- that person's life has more worth than a whole nation of complacent people. The upright majority in the resistance recognize Anderson's uprightness via her actions not words alone. She could have had it all but instead not only joined the resistance, she unwittingly become it's icon ...'The Art's Martyr' against Nazi oppression and against it's thirst for world domination via oppression, killing it's own people, and global money generating genocide.
In dedication to Anderson and other -passive- resistance fighters; we commemorate the authors of The White Rose with the very words that prematurely cost them their lives: "Vivre libre ou mourir."
Let your hair down. Join the resistance.
best,
brovi

Further: Purple prose highly reminiscent of a certain writer I remember fondly, and it was hard to tell if he was laughing the whole time he was typing or smoked-stupid by frequent bong activity.
