Intellectual + Exotically Stimulating!


Great idea, although stretched at times. Still, I liked it a lot!

Edward! I blush to find you here!

I still can't believe it was David Duchovny. Although I don't know why not.

I see you found me with no problems Clay!

I don't think people give him enough credit for being a diversified actor.

You can run, but you can't hide!

I like David Duchovny, but I can't say I've seen him anything where he showed huge range. Or played a character who was radically different from his usual. But who cares about David Duchovny?! that he is!

I miss the original X-files episodes. Yet I have no desire to watch them. Is that wrong?

No! You are missing the quality that was put into the show back then. And time goes on. Not everything keeps its integrity as you well know!

reply

Yeah, you may be right. I think I miss the experience of watching a t.v. show that was new and different and that I really enjoyed.

Lost is probably the closest thing I've found in the last year to match the sheer entertainment value of the first season of X-Files.

I guess we could be discussing this on the X-Files board, or David Duchovny's board, but then we'd be struggling to make casual observations in between such posts as, "Davad Duckvne UR HOT" and "RED SPEEDO".

I had posted, but it didn't take. These boards are crap!

Anyway, what I stated, I haven't really found anything I really cant wait to see. Not look at the TV as much either, for many reasons. But still, just nothing that I feel I have to see!

Bondolo! Stupid-*ss board! This is the second time I posted this!

Now I can't remember what I was going to say. But it wasn't about the Red Shoes Diaries, in case anyone's wondering.

I've been thinking about getting this collection!

the thing is-- IS it a collection? I believe each collection or released package, has only 3 episodes--
and the series ran weekly for five years (1992-1997)

In my honest opinion, it only has a few episodes that were "clinkers" --

on the whole, it was beautiful, interesting, sometimes thought provoking and always sensual. incredible cinematography and music for a backdrop, truly erotic.

during the series of weekly half hour episodes (during which duchovny went to the mailbox in a diner, opened the mailbox and read a letter, they began the story with that introduction, in which they showed the scenes, and told the story. then they ended with Duchovny reading the intellectual/emotional conclusion of the protagonists of the half hour, at which point duchovny would turn and leave, petting his dog)

kind of like a sensual hitchhiker beginning and end (remember that original series?)

I would LOVE to see the whole collection put on dvd today (and I mean the entire series, not the few "collected" on release--

and I really wish they would do it (before we are old *gnash*) and broke -- thanks :)

reply

Nicely put! I'll say I agree about the DVD. But so many things are so much better on DVD!!

WOW! Haven't thought of that one in awhile!

Definitely agree with Reiki, this series was really thought provoking and sensual. Sonme of the stories, tones of the film, way in which in which was told and especially the music was sensual and artfully done. Shame we can't get this ALL on DVD. Hopefully we can over the years, if worse comes to worse. My favourite episode was with Cheryl Lee entitled, 'Jakes' Story'. Anyway else see that one?

reply

I did-- it was good (have you seen the original movie that sparked the weekly series and stories?) as a kind of pilot; and then the series was it's spin-off?

If so, "Jake's Story" is particularly poignant. I agree that it was special. :]

reply

nice banging scenes by third rate actors, but nothing more. cheaply shot and just plain boring.

reply

You all are sooo right! My wife introduced me to this show when we first started dating in 1993. She even taped several episodes and covered the case in red paper. Any more reason that I fell in love? I'm currently re-watching the shows on Hulu! It's love once again. Erotica for intelligent people!
