I am an X-Files fan (not as much as ILD :D but a fan), but I've been hearing great things about Dark Knight, so I'm finding it hard to decide.

From:

I checked ticky box because my vote would not be completely without bias.

From:

It's an opinion poll! You should be biased. I see below that you're writing up your review. I'll check that out before making my decision. (Also, my husband is coming too so he might possibly be allowed to have some say in the choice.)

From:

I don't know when I'll get my review up :(

Definitely "Dark Knight". Not that I dislike The X-Files, but from everything I heard so far (the movie's not out in Germany yet, but some friends from UK have already seen it), Heath Ledger's bloody brilliant as Joker!

From:

Dark Knight has been getting great reviews, and online friends who were highly anticipating it raved about it afterward. Hmmm...

From:

I just saw the X-files this weekend. It wasn't earth shattering, but I felt like I was seeing old friends again. And Mulder's monotonous monologues still do it for me.

Plus I can bore you wit *my* analysis. I intended to post a review on my LJ. It hasn't materialized yet because I'm feeling a bit lazy.

From:

I am writing mine RIGHT NOW. XD

From:

I'd like to read it.
I'M FRIENDING YOU. I HOPE THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU CRY.

From:

IT MAKES ME SQUEE, AS DOES AGENT DALE COOPER IN YOUR ICON.

IT ALSO MAKES ME FRIEND YOU BACK!

From:

Post the review! I want to seeeeeeee it.

(Short version of my JG analysis: Kevin Smith is such a guy.)

From:

I still can't get over the fact that you actually went and saw JG in the theater. Isn't that the one with JLO? *shakes head*

From:

In my defense, I had an unexpected afternoon free, and usually I like Kevin Smith's movies. J.Lo is suprisingly OK during the half-hour or so she's in it before her character croaks.

Worst movie I ever saw in the theater: Satisfaction with Justine Bateman. *shudder*

"Worst movie I ever saw in the theater: Satisfaction with Justine Bateman. *shudder*"

But she was all Mallory Keaton in those days and a cool chick! Plus, that was only Julia Roberts' first film (or one of the first) and it's funny to see what these kids would do for work in the beginning.
I can't believe Lliam Neeson did that film. Unbelievable. And I can't believe how many times I saw the damn thing. I never actually paid to watch it, in my pathetic defense. =)
Dark Knight is likely still insanely crowded, if you mind that sort of thing. My guess is X-Files will offer more elbow room. But see both eventually! It's a must!

From:

"Insanely crowded" is a good tip for us to go early. They have a lot of showings at the theater we're going to, but still. Thanks!

And, I did like Justine Bateman in those days, although not Mallory, but that movie was HORRIBLE : )

X-Files.

Or Iron Man, if you haven't seen it yet and can find it at a theater.

From:

Ooh, Iron Man. I forgot about that one.

PS. Didja hear there's going to be a whole House ep about Chase's hair? (And maybe Cameron too, IDK)

*refrains from saying "just see WALL-E twice"*

Sorry, that wasn't very helpful. IDK, I've read better reviews for Dark Knight than for the X-Files film.

From:

I'll see WALL-E, promise! But I want to see something above G-level while I have the opportunity. : )

I'll admit that I'm horribly biased, as I've never seen one minute of any X-Files episode, but the Dark Knight was still all kinds of amazing. A lot of great depth given to the characters. Wonderful performances. It's well, well worth it.

From:

It does sound pretty damn good. Decisions, decisions! Now we just have to ensure the babysitter doesn't flake out on us D: (If she does, I might go by myself :D)

The Dark Knight, that's supposed to be awesome!! And then afterwards you can write lovely fic's.

From:

Afterwards I will be going to bed! But the next day, maybe so. :D

From:

The Dark Knight is worth it for Heath Ledger, even if it's too long. (Iron Man was way more fun, though.) <333

The X-Files movie is terrible BUT EVERYONE'S GONNA SEE IT AMIRITE

From:

LOL U H8R

ilu ;)

From:

ILU LID HAHAH

DON'T WORRY, MULDER, ISTILLLU2

From:

OMG OMG TROUBLE!

THE MOST TERRIBLE THING ABOUT IT WAS MULDER'S PUDGE.

From:

RIGHT? A MAJOR AESTHETIC OFFENSE

From:

Another vote for Iron Man! It's not in the theaters any more here, but I'll definitely have to rent it on DVD.

From:

Alas!

THEN I URGE YOU TO GO SEE THE BATMAN ♪

What ZIP code are you in? There might be something else playing.

From:

Those are the two I'm most interested in. Hellboy II might be OK, too, but I never saw the first one. I'm not in the mood for a comedy like Mamma Mia! or Get Smart.

If it's a choice between Batman and The X-Files, go with Batman - it really makes good use of the big screen.

I have severe sleep apnea. If I go to the movies, I fall asleep for the first 20 minutes. So I rarely bother to go. (For the theater, I'll load up on caffeine and/or take a nap.)

In short, I didn't vote. The odds of my seing either is somewhere below slim and below none. But The Dark Knight got better reviews.

From:

That's a bummer about the apnea. I haven't been big on movies in the past several years simply because it's a pain in the patoot for us to get out to them, between the expense and the time. I'm hoping we can both stay awake through this one!

Is this date night? You should see something that is conducive to snuggling. I haven't seen The Dark Knight yet, but I heard it's scary.

From:

I read an interesting speculation once that horror movies were created (in part) so that teenagers would have an excuse to cuddle in public -- the girl gets all "ooh I'm scared" and the boy gets to be manly and hold her in his arms to "protect" and "comfort" her. Heh.

We've been having date night fairly regularly but this is the first time it's worked out that we'll go to the movies, so if there's no snuggling to be had in the theater we can save it for later.
