Question for Monday, November 30th

X was a movie based on a 1998 graphic novel. A.O. Scott of the New York Times described it as "about as violent as Apocalypto and twice as stupid". Kenneth Turan wrote in the Los Angeles Times that "unless you love violence as much as a ___, Quentin Tarantino or a video-game-playing teenage boy, you will not be endlessly fascinated." Roger Ebert, in his review, gave the film a two-star rating, writing, "X has one-dimensional caricatures who talk like professional wrestlers plugging their next feud.".

X has been spoofed in various media, and spawned off a very popular internet meme. Skits based upon the film have appeared on Saturday Night Live and Robot Chicken and both 20th Century Fox and Universal have released (or are planning to release) spoofs of the movie.

What's X? What is/are the blanked out word(s)?
