It spawned two feature films, 1998’s “The X-Files: Fight the Future” and 2008’s “The X-Files: I Want to Believe.” – via Variety How did all of this come to pass? When Anderson appeared on Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist Podcast, the two started talking about how great it would be for the show to return, which prompted Hardwick to start a Twitter campaign that trended high enough for Fox executives to start the big wheels rolling. Though an airdate has yet to be announced, fans are already gearing up for their first watch party. Or are they? Are you looking forward to more X-Files episodes?

I do, however have a love for these snacks (in moderation of course), and while living on the West Coast I started using chopsticks to eat these snacks.

The idea is to have another movie in production featuring an all-male cast, with Channing Tatum set to produce and possibly star. While many of us are troubled by the boy vs. girl nature of franchise, and even more troubled that the Interwebz seems to be taking sides on who is going to "win", the idea that the original Ghostbusters (Egon, Peter, Ray, and Winston) have franchised their company to others is rather interesting.

In 1954, psychiatrist Dr. Fredric Wertham wrote a scathing indictment of comic books called Seduction of the Innocent. Its central premise was that comics were the leading contributing factor to juvenile delinquency. (At the time, 90% of all children were reading comic books.) That same year, Dr. Wertham testified at special hearings on comic books at the Senate Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency in the United States. Comic books were on trial! Diagram for Delinquents captures the zeitgeist of late 1940s / early 1950s America and investigates how the funny books found themselves on the bonfire. Using expert interviews and never-seen-before historical photographs and films, Diagram goes further than any documentary to explore and understand the controversial figure at the center of this American tale: Fredric Wertham.
