Andy, I was just perusing 1UP's reviews of some of the potential candidates for geek night, and I noticed something both amusing and disturbing.
In previews for games, such as this for Teen Titans, they have a bit of a comments section. A section that encourages you to "Write your own hype!" Huh?
Doesn't 'hype' (or, perhaps a better question is "Didn't 'hype'") have a negative connotation? Isn't hype generally undeserved or excessive promotion and attention for a product? Wasn't it a word we used to cynically describe over-the-top marketing for and overexposure to a game, movie, artist, tv show, etc.?
It reminds me of "Spin Alley" from the US presidential debates. (Or, as Jon Stewart put it, "Deception Lane"); where they normalized an otherwise negative phenomenon of spin by making it part of the structure around the debates. The "Write your own hype" thing reminds me of "Spin Alley", I guess, because it's amusing that it's come down to this, but disturbing that something we were cynical about is just accepted now, to the point that we write our own marketing to market to ourselves.

btw- Clark and I both agreed that Eyes Full Of Stars were absolutely incredible live (much as I predicted). Expect to see them opening for Red Hot Daggers sometime in the more-or-less near future.
Not to mention their singer is a solid 16/10. Fuckin grow up, you stupid hotties.
But I mean, if Padmé can do it...

no, there's only a five year difference between them. Padmé Amidala was 14 in episode I (although she sure as hell didn't look it) whereas Anakin Skywalker was 9.
Paras: clearly that movie was flawless. I don't know what you're talking about.
