In my experience, there are two kinds of film critics: the entomologists and the mammalians.
The entomologists are those critics who use primarily entomological metaphors to describe my physical appearance.
The mammalians are those critics who use primarily mammalian metaphors to describe me.
Entomologists:
Stephen Holden (New York Times) - "...an unattractive creature who resembles a human bug..."
Nathan Lee (New York Times) - "...a grasshopper of a man..."
Stephen Rea (Philadelphia Inquirer) - "...a thin, bug-eyed fellow..."
Robert Horton (Seattle Herald) - "...bulging eyes and arms that hang down like forgotten wings..."
Andrew O'Hehir (Salon.com) - "...a skinny, slightly bug-eyed guy..."
Mammalians:
Owen Gleiberman (Entertainment Weekly) - "A tense, squirrelly man..."
Neva Chonin (San Francisco Chronicle) - "...his eyes expand to lemur proportions..."
Jolie Williamson (Pittsburgh Tribune) - "...like a hairless chihuahua..."
Randy Myers (Contra Costa Times) - "...an odd-looking duck..."
Roger Moore (Orlando Sentinel) - "...homely little weasel..."
