Am I the only one who noticed ...

Question: Am I the only one who noticed the (certainly intentional) inside ha-ha in the X-Files movie? When Mulder was in his car trying to reach Scully on his cell phone, he brought up his phone book and we got a quick glimpse of his calling list — and there, right in the middle, was the name Gillian. I haven't seen a mention of it in anything I've read about the movie, even on fan sites. I thought it was really fun to put that in.
Answer: Actually, the name on his cell phone was Gilligan, not Gillian. As in Vince Gilligan, a longtime producer colleague of Chris Carter's who has graduated to his own AMC series, Breaking Bad, and who also wrote the summer movie Hancock. The movie also had shoutouts to John Shiban, Rob Bowman, Kim Manners and David Nutter, among other X-Files notables.
