Re: The X-Files script that was too bleak to air
Malachi Constant,

I hadn't yet read your post where you mentioned having it bound as a hardcover. See, I think there would be a market for that! The fact that it was rejected would just give it that much more cult cred!

Also, would it violate any copyright laws to turn this into a computer animated movie? Like that short movie that was posted here at TLO. I can't remember the name of it, but it started with a woman leaving her old life behind and going on a long train ride. Anyhow, that was so beautifully done! It would be really neat if that guy (or someone with similar talent) could create a 50 minute version of Ligotti's Mulder and Scully! With the beautiful animation I bet things like the evil puppet would look super cool!

Re: The X-Files script that was too bleak to air
A short movie was made by a TLO member based on Ligotti's work? Does anyone still have the link?
"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."
---Tears and Saints, E. M. Cioran

Re: The X-Files script that was too bleak to air
The video is I Have a Special Plan for This World. It was made by Jesús Olmo, who uses the screen name olmo here on TLO, and features reading by David Tibet.

This is the video, which I had uploaded in a different thread more than two years ago (Brilliant IHASPFTW video, and 145 others - THE NIGHTMARE NETWORK):

Thomas Ligottis I Have a Special Plan for This World on Vimeo

If anyone needs a password to watch it directly in Vimeo, just type in graphiosis.

Sadly, The Frolic short that was also up on Vimeo was taken down, where I was able to watch it around two years ago.
Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

“True what?” says Ligotti when asked what he made of the show. “I don’t make anything of anything.”
I laughed so hard I scared the living #### out of my dog.

Here is another video by Jesús Olmo I found today.
