"The nice [reviews], they're good to hear but you never really internalize them -- it's the bad ones," Long said. "I read one in particular, that -- it was so bad that it set the bar I think for insults for me. I actually kind of appreciate this woman. Michelle Orange, wherever you are, at Movieline. I remember it. I remember the quote, and this is word for word.
"Michelle Orange called me -- and you hear things about yourself and you think you develop a pretty thick skin -- this woman called me, this is word for word, a 'milky affectless mook' -- it keeps going -- 'with unformed features and a kindergartner's haircut on the first day of school.'"
Fortunately, the review inspired Long to get literate. "So I looked up 'mook,' because I had no idea what a mook was," he said. "It sounds weirdly like it could be inappropriate somehow. 'Mook,' according to the Urban Dictionary, is, and I quote, 'an archetypal young male who looks like a moronic bonehead. They are self-centered simpletons of a drunken fratboy lifestyle.' So yeah, it doesn't get worse than that."
