david duchovny

early last week, i found out that david duchovny would be appearing on the daily show with jon stewart to promote his new movie house of d.  having not thought of him for years, i immediately reverted to the x-files-loving fanboy with a huge crush on fox mulder in my heart and bree sharp's lyrical tribute in my head: 

i can't wait anymore
for him to discover me
i've got it bad for
david duchovny

david duchovny
why won't you love me?

quite belatedly, i realized that i had never seen the video to this musical gem and suddenly had to track it down.

i have posted the fruit of my labors — the best version of the video i could find on the web (link below).  the quality ain't great, but it's big enough to enjoy (larger than other versions out there) and includes not only the jerry springer epilogue but the credits and outtakes as well.  watch for my favorite cameos — gillian anderson, sarah michelle gellar (buffy!), brad pitt and george clooney (with a basketball).

relevant tidbit #1:  my friend sue was bree's roommate for four years.  according to sue, bree never got a chance to meet david — at least, not as a result of the song.  the video was put together for fun by members of the x-files production team.  since it was never an "official" music video for the song, bree never even received a copy on tape (though i'm guessing that the free publicity probably didn't hurt).

relevant tidbit #2:  while we attended the taping of gillian anderson's appearance on the daily show a few years back, neither sue nor i went to see david's.  as we established long ago, we love gillian more because she is, by far, the better actor, as fight the future can attest.  hmmm...house of mirth, house of d?  a pattern emerges...

(ir)relevant tidbit #3:  i love love LOVE playing by heart, starring both gillian anderson and jon stewart — as a couple, no less.
