Complaints are already circling about the title of the upcoming X-Files feature, X-Files: I Want to Believe. Chris Carter, the original creator of the X-Files, justifies the title by saying:

It’s a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science.

An apt theme for where we are, culturally.

At any rate, a crappy title I can handle. The real challenge will be fulfilling the expectations of fans who have waited six years for this. Almost as tough: capturing the interests of those who won’t have nostalgia tugging on their wallets. Best of luck, Mulder and Scully. I want to believe, too … that the film will be not be sucky.
