awesome: used too much as adjective?

[kylerexpop]

i'm just curious if the faithful readers get a little tired of certain descriptors that seem to pop up a lot in reviews; words and phrases including "awesome" and "smokin' hot" and "****" and "mean joe green."

who am i kidding? it's only in my reviews that these words get used. i'm . . . i'm a disgrace. *sob* but seriously: do words like these and others get overused, or is the reviewing posting staggered enough among the various mutants that you get enough attempts at literary greatness inbetween my clumsy attempts at being "hip" and with "it"? just wondering.

I think as long as you get the point across it doesn't really matter what words you use

I'm normally pretty sensitive to word usage and I never noticed anything amiss, so I suppose it is staggered enough.

Sadly, I use the following words on a way-too-common basis, both while typing and in real life: awesome, groovy, rad, sweet, jacked up.

I have a few choice favorite cursewords, too, but I don't believe it's in my juristiction to discuss them here.

lets see if i can derail this thread

The thing is, if you add an uneeded, redudant adverb, it is awesomely awesome and excellently excellent!

There's nothing wrong with mixing up your vocabulary every once in a while, but frankly I feel like a lot of the phrases you use give your reviews a distictive Kyle-ness that I know I always look forward to. While a liberal sprinkling of 'awesome' and 'superhot' isn't likely to seat you next to Roger Ebert and Leonard Maltin in most people's eyes, most people are generally ignorant philistines who don't visit this site. In addition, those lucky few of us who have found our way here aren't looking for high-minded filmspeak or pretentious dismissiveness, and enjoy the funny, relaxed, and informative nature of all things mrfh. So basically what I've trying to say, is: as long as you feel comfortable that you're getting across what you want to, I have no complaints at all.

Okay, I lied: you guys need about three times the 'Mean Joe Green' quotient.

I love the phrase "smokin' hot!" And I fully expect Lissa to use it a great deal in her retaliative article. Take note!

I also want kudos for definitely planting that Philly experiment idea in her head, but there I think I'm whistling Dixie...

I swear I responded to Uber's thread before I read this!!!!!

And I'll see what I can do about incorporating the phrase "smokin' hot!" Given the gentlemen in question, it shouldn't be too hard!
