Fox And Apple Selling Special Edition X-Files: I Want To Believe iPods

Matt Hickey — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:09:30 +0000

To celebrate the not-so-bad-but-really-not-great film The X-Files: I Want To Believe, Fox has partnered with Apple to release these special edition iPod Classics and iPod Nanos. The pair consist of a regular 80GB Classic and 8GB Nano but with nice portraits of Mulder and Sculley looking very serious and mysterious etched on the back. You can also have your name or a personalised message inscribed for free. But these collector’s items don’t come cheap, as you’ll be paying US$80 over the regular 80GB iPod Classic’s price and US$70 more for the Nano to show your fanboyism. But then that’s what it’s all about, right? [Fox Shop via Chip Chick]

Alien Video Uncovered: Real or Fake?

As you probably know, some guy claimed he had definitive proof of the existence of aliens. Apparently, this video is that proof. Proof that aliens exist (and that they are just a bunch of perverted Peeping Toms.) I mean, they haven’t returned our calls yet, and someone actually thinks they are snooping through our home windows on foot? Do you think this is real or more fake than alien sex doll?

Update: Here’s the official still image alien picture:

X-Files 2 Trailer Shows The Truth Is Hidden Somewhere In The Snow

As much as I love the X-files, I sort of have the feeling that this movie is roughly 10 years too late. I mean, the last few seasons sucked without Mulder, and Agent Doggett will always be a T-1000 to me. This movie sort of seems like it’s just come out of the ether, unexplainably and without warning. Kind of like an X-File…

Okay, I’m excited again. On a side note, am I the only person who hates the fact that it costs $30 for two people to go to the movies these days? And especially at the moment – what with Iron Man, Batman, Wall-E, Star Wars – The Clone Wars, The Incredible Hulk and Indiana Jones, that’s like… three… seven… carry the two… eleven… a lot of money.
