I walk into the theatre knowing that I’m gonna go for the X-File. It’s apparent nowadays the audience is far more tolerance to anything strange in this world.
In the old days, we are far too innocent and ignorant. Area 51, anything strange like the Fly or shape changelings are all new ideas and strange to the audience to watch in TV and even Movies. But after the culturing of the TV series for years and the advancement of the movies these days, this trip proves to be one those that’s only to remind us of the good old times, when dark movies are only about the story and not the cinematography. When the first moon start and the first sound of the shows signature opening music, it’s set, that the audience is on a ride down memory lane. There’s no exchange of surprises. Just a lot common nodding of the plot, and “so that’s how it is”. I’m not exactly the fan of the first movie because it’s hanging in the air because you need to know the series to know the going of it then. But this time, everything has settled in, every dust is on the ground after almost a decade of waiting. It’s more satisfying to see Scully and Molder together, 2 of the most celebrated character ever again duelling it out on the screen. A simple nod from everyone in the cinema in the middle of the show and then at the end some “Oh!”s that signified an understanding from all the audiences. It’s hard to not realise that at the end of the movie, X-File was and still is one of the most celebrated show on TV. It is it’s first. Original and never before still now have there be a show with such material around 2 character that have the same chemistry and excitement that could compare. Not yet that is. Which makes you wonder will there ever going to be a revival of the series. But it is at the end about Mulder and Scully that makes it work. It won’t be a success otherwise. The audience knows it by heart and so do the producers.
And accidentally, I was off to another mall after the movie. I thought I’m gonna be going for a comfort stroll and buy some stuff. Instead I just can’t seem to stop passing by the cinema and the bookshop is closed for renovation. With not my usual coffee shop where I can go and have my usual coffee and read my new book. I just thought why not. I just gone in a bought the ticket to a movie that I know will be cut into pieces by the censorship. Sex and the City. Another TV series turn movie. Now this one is a totally different story when you go into the cinema. On the notion that almost half of the people going in don’t know about the show or love it. (most of the audience here have no idea what the movie is about because the TV doesn’t have the final run of the show on television because of the material not going through censorship for TV.) Some goes in because of ladies, some for simply the word sex and some simply don’t know what they are into. So when the show start, we are already seeing people leaving their seats when the pink started. While we who have watched the show religiously over the past decade, know exactly where to laugh, how to laugh and sad for Samantha’s breakup and Big’s and Steve’s betrayal, one third of the audience have already left with the cancelation of the wedding. I guess guys just can’t really stand the pressure of the commitment and don’t understand why they are so upset and think it’s simply too chicky or boring. I’m even hearing a gentleman at the back of the row snoring by the time the ladies in Mexico.... of course there’s no doubt that the ladies still look as good as ever. Cleverly covering a lot of the signs of revealing veins and visibly there’s hardly any wrinkle. It’s a the triumphant cry for the ladies who still lunch in NYC. The last word is truly true “Oh! Since when did we forgot about the Cosmopolitan?”. All of the humor and the anguish and the writing is still heartfelt, just like every good script and plot that comes in. It is still the best ladies show on earth.
