I agree with Val about the sour grapes. There are an awful lot of people out there who made the X Files their lives a long, long time ago. Certainly there was a very popular X Files chat forum on Yahoo more than 10 years ago and we were, quite sadly, fanatics who would have sold our souls to get their hands on a copy of the first X Files movie script! It must be great to be involved, but inevitably there are people out there who feel that your video comes across as a bit smug. If I were 10 years younger, I know I would be one of those people! I've not seen the movie yet but reading this has given me a kick up the arse to buy the DVD. Hi Gia – I happened upon this entry via Google.

You have quite a following on here... and for the record (about your script unboxing): I believe you! Don't pay any mind to the trolls, they're just jealous. I'm so excited for you! Getting to work on such an awesome movie! Lucky, lucky girl! P.S. If watching you unbox the script made me freak out... what is going to happen when I'm actually in the theatre? I can't even imagine... Keep on updating! ( and I subscribed to your vids too...) Gia-

I was sorta like 'well, that script certainly looks real' but I was sort of neutral about the whole thing. All the negative and any bad comments are probably because you're revealing you have secrets to the FREAKIN' X-FILES MOVIE! and superfans are, rightly, jealous and interested. The idea of having some behind the scenes knowledge on a franchise you actually care about is mindboggling to me. If it were. I love XF and Buffy so if I were in a position like this I'd just hyperventilate and die. So, I understand how you feel and why you're so excited. It seems like you posted because at heart you're just a big XF fan and wanted to share, so I can't blame you. You shared as much as you could. The only problem with the video is you say nothing of who you are, why you would be getting the script, how you got it, nothing, so you, pardon me, look sort of nutty. Not that you should care, but by saying nothing you're sort of inviting bad comments. But I'm happy for you, good to be working on something you actually want to be working on.

I loved the original video. I was dying to know what made you gasp while you were flipping through the script! ;) It's difficult not to be bothered by the crazies. Hell, it's difficult not to be bothered *for* them. That was an apt analogy that was made about religious fundies. Some particular ones just constantly look for reasons to get upset. For whatever reason they need to project. >.> Queequeg ftw. I loved the original video. I was dying to know what made you gasp while you were flipping through the script! ;)

Believe me, it took me a year to realize that some of the fans aren't rational. It doesn't matter if you have Chris Carter standing beside you, they will say its a hologram or a card-board cut out ;o) Ignore them! You just can't get through to crazy people ;o) Good luck with your job! Hey gia, only rational people believe proof. Believe me, it took me a year to realize that some of the fans aren’t rational.

I completely agree with you about the effect the 'net has had on certain people's behaviour. It's not exclusive to X-Philes, I can assure you! I have had someone contact my agent and tell her downright lies about me, because they disagreed with my feelings about the state of the British television industry, which I voiced on a tv industry messageboard. I had a fundie Christian post a stream of libelous statements about me (that I peddle pornography, for example) on an extremely high profile website with the aim of getting Fox to fire me after they'd hired me for 'Sunshine'... because she and I have differing political opinions which we discussed on my blog. A friend of mine received a tsunami of death threats from wingnuts and was offered protection by the police because he made a joke about George Bush which was put up on a website. My husband has received umpteen threats of legal action because he says things like 'a necklace can't protect you from electromagnetic radiation'... My mistake, always, is that I continually assume that everyone exists within the same logical framework as I do. They clearly don't. One day, I will learn! Jim, Thanks for your comment!

I think it's a great -- and entertaining -- way of keeping folks updated about any backroom promo activities for the film! And before I forget, thanks for all the little bits of info you've been mentioning in your blog about XF2... keep 'em coming... I really appreciate them! Hello Gia,
