Perhaps the New X-Files Movie Should Have Been Called I Want to Understand
Please enjoy this totally incomprehensible X-Files 2 movie trailer while I look for an embeddable version of the new, infuriating Clone Wars trailer. Look, Chris Carter?the reason I stopped watching X-Files in the first place is because I didn’t know what the fuck was going on. After seeing this trailer, I also have no idea what the fuck is going on in the new movie, either. I do not find that appealing. Also, I’d like to punch you in the balls.
