In its nine years on the air,The X-Files brought shadowy government conspiracies back to the center of national attention like nothing since Mark Lane’s Rush to Judgment. The show, along with other cultural milestones like Oliver Stone’s JFK, made conspiracy theory again part of the American pop culture fabric, fueling the imaginations of a public alternately fascinated by and dismissive of conspiratorial visions. Conspiracy scholar Peter Knight has suggested that “a quasi-paranoid hermeneutic of suspicion is now taken for granted by many Americans”, for whom it provid ... [Continua a leggere]

Un nostro lettore ci segnala un fatto curioso che merita decisamente un post. Come molti ricorderanno una delle cose più scioccanti degli orribili attentati dell’11 Settembre 2001 al WTC era quella diffusa sensazione di incredulità di fronte ad un evento assolutamente imprevedibile e inimmaginabile. Forse perchè utilizzata in contesti di guerra e militari, forse perchè erano già passati 50 anni, in pochi avevano notato la somiglianza con la tattica d’attacco degli aviatori giapponesi durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, i Kamikaze. Ad ogni modo l& ... [Continua a leggere]

MILANO — Per quasi dieci anni è rimasto imprigionato in Fox Mulder, l'agente dell'Fbi alle prese con casi di ordinaria paranormalità. Per dare un bacio alla sua compagna di indagini Dana Scully ci aveva messo una vita. Lasciato ormai alle spalle l'algido personaggio che interpretava in X-Files, David Duchovny diventa uno scrittore maledetto. E sessuomane. Altro che amletici baci, si va subito al dunque. Accade in Californication, la serie tv che, in onda negli Stati Uniti, è stata acquistata da Mediaset. Duchovny interpreta Hank Moody, uno scrittore in crisi che ann ... [Continua a leggere]

Anche il sesso, in fondo, è un mistero. E chi meglio di lui, David Duchovny, ex collezionatore di misteri nei panni di Fox Mulder del fantascientifico X-Files, potrebbe sperimentare quelli chimico-ormonali degli incontri con l'altro sesso, negli aspetti anche più devastanti? L'attore è il protagonista della serie tv Californication trasmessa dal canale americano Showtime e che in primavera potrebbe sbarcare su Italia1. Duchovny interpreta Hank Moody, uno scrittore newyorkese in declino che sfugge alla sua crisi creativa rifugiandosi nel sesso, e non solo. Fa abus ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files star David Duchovny told SCI FI Wire that he had a lunch reunion in Los Angeles recently with his co-star Gillian Anderson and series creator Chris Carter to discuss the long-gestating sequel movie."That was nice," Duchovny said while promoting his latest movie, Things We Lost in the Fire. "I see Chris quite a bit. We live kind of in the same neighborhood. We live within maybe 10 or 15 miles of one another. But I hadn't seen Gillian in a while. So it was like a reunion. It really was. It was more emotional than I would have though it was [going to be]. If you spend that muc ... [Continua a leggere]

Californication non è ancora stata acquistata da alcun canale italiano, sebbene sia contesa da Jimmy e Italia1 - secondo i rumors in rete, la gara sarebbe stata vinta da quest’ultima -.Perché sia contesa, questa serie, e perché sia discussa, be’ è facile capirlo fin dalle prime immagini del pilot.Lo screenshot qui sopra è tratto dalla sequenza iniziale. Al di sotto dell’inquadratura, impegnata in pratiche fin troppo facili da immaginare, c’è una bellissima bionda in abito da suora.Lui, be’, lui l’avrete riconosciuto. ... [Continua a leggere]

THE X-FILES star DAVID DUCHOVNY holds the sci-fi TV series in high regard - insisting it was "better than the Beatles". The Emmy Award-winning 1990s show starred Duchovny and Gillian Anderson - as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully - investigating unusual incidents linked to paranormal activity. The programme - which ran from 1993 to 2002 - was a huge hit and Duchovny believes it was much more popular than the legendary rockers in their heyday. He says, "Come on - we were better than the Beatles. They went from 1962 to 1970 - eight years. They couldn't even make it to a ninth year, like us. ... [Continua a leggere]

IN the now notorious opening scene of the Ten Network's racy new import, Californication, a nun offered the antihero, novelist Hank Moody, oral sex in a Catholic church. It's little wonder this upset Catholics, who have called for the show to be banned. Two advertisers, Holden and Holeproof, have pulled their ads from the show, a move that has probably given the insistently profane comedy a ratings boost. A mitigating factor, according to the show's supporters, is that the offending fellatio scene was a fantasy, a dream sequence illustrating the predilection of protagonist Hank Moody for unav ...
