Ah, Mulder and Scully...

Gay best friends that are straight only for each other.

I mean look at them. To quote Raymond Gillette, nobody's that gay.

Had to look them up and came across this article and this one with some more.

I recalled this imagine instantly. Haven't seen that in awhile. I feel like I saw this originally in Rolling Stone? Too damn lazy to look it up.

Oh god I'm turning into dust as I type this out.

Remember to take your meds and to do light streches to help with the back pain.

Oh, they are from David LaChappelle. That explains a lot, though those have been uncomfortably great.

Thanks for sharing!

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 weeks ago

That shit is weird as fuck. I never knew these existed. Thanks for sharing. Seems like such a strange vibe in some of them.

It was a simpler, more innocent time.

Little did we know that's a glance of the real inner Duchovny surfacing

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you see Duchovny in Twin Peaks?
I do not know what his real inner person is, but I guess it has always been legendary...

I never watched the show. I know it has something to do with aliens. But I didn't know that the alien was Ziggy Stardust.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's worth watching, if only for the historical value

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I loved the monster of the week early seasons but never made it past the later seasons where Anderson and Duchovny were replaced. Is there anything worth watching past that?

[–] Tomato666@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A third season came out a few years ago.

I had to watch it, but it was hard work.

I think season2 lost its way towards the end.

I will never get over that the pilot episode of Lone Gunmen, released in March 2001, featured a government faction hijacking a commercial airliner via remote control to crash it into the World Trade Center as a false-flag operation.

It's pretty wild.

The sex sells bit of these kind of makes sense for Duchovny since he recently did the Red Shoe Diaries (Showtime softcore porn) right before being cast for X-Files.

Still hyper-90s, if you all like this watch literally any music video around that time as well.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Didn't Duchovny check himself into rehab for sex addiction?

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Californication could have been a biography from what I hear.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think that came out after rehab, which really struck me as funny. Method acting indeed!

You can't fool me, these are the early shots from Californication.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Ahhh... The 90s were a lot of fun...

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's hard to believe it was just 10 years ago.

The short time after Reagan and before 9/11 where the US wasn't a complete piece of shit

Did they know what the show was going to be when they took these photos?

Based reply.

This guy was there.

These photos were taken by David Lachapelle. This is his style, and I’ve found that a lot of his shoots are not about the subject, but about the fact that Lachapelle is shooting them. Celebrities seek him out more often than not.

These images are actually rather mild for him. In 2002 he shot a campaign for Lavazza coffee, and one of the images was a nude woman being driven on by toy dump trucks as they poured sugar and beans on her privates. Another involved a woman humping the air while grasping two rockets with the coffee brand on them, as an oiled bodybuilder flexed in the background.

It’s not my cup of tea (or coffee), but he’s gotten pretty darn famous for doing what he loves, so more power to him.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

They all look like they’re stuck inside a Windows 95 screensaver!

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I would so be a the little green alien in that throuple.

Gillian Anderson started my Margaret Thatcher fetish.

Does Duchovny sleep inside a magic eye poster?
