Because, clearly it has affected the reviews of his movies. I watched "I Am Number Four" on the plane, and kind of liked it. I have talked to other people who liked it as well.

I mean it's no war and peace, but for a teen coming-of-age, sci-fi action romance, it was more than acceptable. Granted it opened with a lot (a LOT) of gratuitous Pettyfer skin shots - but if you are aiming at teen-age girls (and lecherous old guys) then that's not normally a problem for reviewers.

But it got HORRIBLE reviews. I mean kiss of death dreadful reviews. I kind of have to assume that he rubbed everyone the wrong way. Particularly after I read one of his gracious interviews. Really, if you want to read a PRETENTIOUS interview, read this from the I Am Number Four press tour.

I think he must be a tool. Plus, Dianna Agron dumped his ass, and she is sweet (Quin from Glee) - so I blame him. And - perhaps worse of all from my point of view, he lives in LA and hates it, loudly and often in interviews - so he should take his annoying little ass back to England. I mean a lot of people hate LA - but you have to underplay it a little.
