New X-files film on track

April 16, 2008 D. H. McKee

Hmmm. I seem to remember a show called the X-files. It was quite a while ago. Wasn’t it about the same time Twin Peaks was on?
The title is out there for upcoming X-Files film
Sure enough, Chris Carter doesn’t know how many people out there will be familiar with the show, though he insists it’s still relevant:

“It has struck me over the last several years talking to college-age kids that a lot of them really don’t know the show or haven’t seen it,” Carter said.
“If you’re 20 years old now, the show started when you were four. It was probably too scary for you or your parents wouldn’t let you watch it. So there’s a whole new audience that might have liked the show.”

Though, to be clear:
‘”The reason we’re even making the movie is for the rabid fans, so we don’t want to insult them by having to take them back through the concept again,” Carter said.’
The show was cancelled only six years ago. I’ll argue the show was hardly relevant (in any meaningful sense of that word) in its heyday, but the fact is that conspiracy stories are part of the fibre of the US sense of self.
The “secret history” of the US nation-state is as much a part of the official history as anything else, now. Whether or not this particular men-in-black story resonates with anyone remains to be seen.
Will I see the film? Not likely. I think I may have watched the few episodes I did simply to see if I could catch the female lead in a skin-tight latex outfit .

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
