The Truth is out there. Comrade.

The best trailer so far for The X-Files: I Want to Believe is the new Russian one, featured right here at /Film.

Watch it!

But it’s kind of, sort of in Russian.

I love how Xzibit’s Russian voice makes him seem like the harshest comrade of all.

(He and Amanda Peet play FBI agents involved in whatever case it is that Mulder and Scully get involved in.)

Rumor has it that the English version of this beautifully scary morsel will appear with M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening on June 13, which is right around the corner (and the same day as Ed Norton’s reboot of The Incredible Hulk; that’s going to be a good movie weekend right there).

Click the photo to see it bigger. I love this one. It looks like Scully is about to whisper something filthy into Mulder’s ear, like, “Mulder, I think I see lateral scarring on the medial lemniscus.”

Delicious.

Mulder and Scully return on July 25!

Bad cops like falafel, but Batman gets free hot dogs

And … I’m moved in. And since I’m still unpacking and sorting and arranging, I’ll make my first post from my new home a light one.

Click here to read a really great interview with Christian Bale in Details.

What he said about wishing he could share the The Dark Knight with Heath Ledger upon its July debut broke my heart in half.

But this part made me smile:

Has starring in a blockbuster had any noticeable impact on your personal life?
I was at the Science Museum in London with my daughter and some of her friends, and they wanted hot dogs. And so I went up to a hot-dog stand and I said, “Can I have three hot dogs?” They said, “I’m sorry, we’re closed.” And so I started walking away. And then one of them said, “Excuse me, are you Batman?” And I said, “Well, I play Batman.” And they said, “Well, here’s three hot dogs—on the house.” That’s pretty remarkable, isn’t it?

There’s an awesome hot dog place down the street from my new place; I’ll have to try that trick.

“Excuse me, are you the guy who blogs about Batman?”

And they’ll give me a free Big Buck.

That’s a quarter-pound all-beef Vienna dog with chili below and cole slaw on top, all wrapped in a poppy-seed bun.

I had one the other day.

Pure heaven.

Anyway.

Christian Bale is awesome, but we all knew that already, didn’t we?

As I get back into the swing of things this month, expect some big Batman essays, including a breakdown ofthis ridiculously amazing nugget of goodness.

Bring me your planes, your trains, your automobiles

You heard the man.

I’m moving.

In about every way a man can move.

First, some background.

Last week, I got a lovely package in the mail.

It was a petition signed by 16,718 of my loyal readers, asking me to please resume blogging.

Okay.

That’s entirely not true.

But I did get an email from One Reader asking me when I was going to start talking about Batman and girls who play guitar again.

The answer is, “As soon as I can.”

Right now I’m neck deep in boxes of my belongings as I prepare to move to another city in another state. Moving isn’t fun, but the end result will be well worth it. My new apartment building looks like it came straight from the set of Three’s Company in 1977. I love it.

(Come and knock on my door. I’ll be waiting for you.)

So that’s what I’ve been doing. And my computer’s the next thing to be boxed up, so you’ll hear even less out of me, if that’s possible, until I get everything set up and settled in the new place, which should be sometime in early June.

In the meantime, I’ve been working on some top secret writing projects that shall remain top secret until such time that they no longer have to remain top secret.

And I’ve still been cranking out comic book reviews for my good friend Bill Ramey over at Batman on Film.

You can read my recent Detective Comics reviews here and my recent Batman Confidential reviews here, and then you can click here to read my review of Batman #676, which I did this weekend as a favor/fill-in for Bill until he can take over his regular reviews of that particular title with #677 which, coincidentally, comes out this week.

And then!

And then!

I’m going to move the site off of WordPress entirely, for a list of reasons as long as Jeff Goldblum.

You’ll always be able to find me at johnbierly.com, which currently points right back to here but will point to the new site once I figure out where to put it, how to make it, and all kinds of other things that I don’t know the first thing about.

But we’ll figure it out.

Okay.

Time to pull the plug on my computer and put it in a box. I’ve missed you guys this month, and thanks again to all of you who’ve written to check on me.

I’ll still have email at work.

And.

I’ll see you soon.

Whammy!
