Mayor Scott Walker of Reeves, Louisiana calls CenturyTel’s decision to remove the 666 telephone prefix a “divine intervention.” Christians in Reeves were unhappy when the telephone company instituted the 666 prefix to their telephone numbers in the early 1960s. They had always considered this prefix to be a stigma on their small town.

Residents were happy to learn that they can change their number to the 749 prefix for the next three months. The mayor expects that 80% of the 450 homeowners will make the switch.

Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by the Infected’s victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For three years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and supplies and faithfully sending out radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. All the while, the Infected lurk in the shadows, watching Neville’s every move, waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind’s last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But his blood is also what The Infected hunt, and Neville knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time.

My husband and I saw the previews of this movie on TV a couple of weeks ago and agreed that we want to see this film. Because of Christmas holidays, we haven’t had time yet. The movie preview I read makes me want to see it all the more, as does the trailer on the Official Website.

Who knows, I might pick up the book, which as been sitting on my “To Read” pile for the past decade just so I can compare it with the film.

I was an ardent fan of the X-Files when it premiered in 1993, only to find myself disappointed at the end when it became clear that the writers weren’t going to answer the questions that had kept fans glued to the set for nine years. That said, I enjoyed the first eight seasons very much. My husband and I looked forward to seeing what freaky weirdness Agents Mulder and Scully were going to face each Friday night.

When I saw this set on A&E’s shopping link, my curiosity was piqued. This promises to be an excellent set, with footage of every frame ever filmed of the X-Files, plus hundreds of bonus items on 61 DVDs. I can’t even begin to picture how big the box will be or where I would put it if I decide to order this collection. I’ll have until January 9th to make a decision, as the promo for the sale will end.
