The Sound of One Fan Clapping
By Kimberley Jones, 10:56AM, Wed. Jul. 2, 2008
I was an X-Files fan back in the day, but I have to say, when I heard they were making The X-Files: I Want to Believe – 10 years after the first installment, and 6 years after the TV series closed up shop – I couldn't help but wonder, is anybody really clamoring for another X-Files movie?
Last night, at the 9:50pm screening of Wanted at the Alamo Ritz, I got my answer:
The sound of one fan clapping after the trailer rolled, followed by someone else whistling the theme song. But I'm pretty sure the second guy was being ironic.
