These are the grades I've given to every movie I've seen in 2009. I've been listing them on Facebook but now when I update it there's a technical glitch. (Facebook and Twitter are both really a pain in the ass sometimes.) So I'm listing them here.

Paul Blart is better than The Hangover? Haven't seen the latter but Blart was dull dull dull.
You missed Sugar? That and (I'm alone here) Knowing are my tops so far.
BTW, I understand you needed an X in your self description, but xenophobic? Really? What about your Canada vs. US post?
"X-ray visioned metaphorically" too cumbersome?

I went with "xenophobic" based on a very general definition. The Wikipedia page, for example, says it's "a dislike and/or fear of that which is unknown or different from oneself." That is me to a degree, although it doesn't extend so much to other nations and cultures. I'm open to suggestions for other "x" words, but it does have to be one word.
Oh, and I hated The Hangover. It didn't make me laugh more than once at best. I might have laughed at the Mike Tyson appearance if it hadn't been all over TV in the ads.
