New Moon Star Tweets Disgust Over Shameless Commerciality of Mainstream Hollywood Romance
Alex Meraz, who did some wonderful shirtless-werewolf work in New Moon, was forthright to a fault in his Twitter feed about costar Taylor Lautner's new ensemble romantic comedy, Valentine's Day, writing: "Sorry Taylor but the movie "valentines day" looks lame and desperate it cries out "look we have all the biggest starz in 1movie pleez watch!" One hour later, he was beginning to have second thoughts: "P.S. it has nothing to do with the talented actors in the movie I just don't like the producer & Directors "get rich quick skeem" nuff said" It wasn't long after that before full remorse was in effect: "Talk about biting the hand that feeds me..but I'm a wolf for crying out loud! I'll be careful next time I spill twitter all over everyone." At that point, however, the damage was already done, and not even a desperate attempt to change the subject ("Balinese Monkey Chant...one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!") could numb him from the realization that he'd just tweeted himself out of a gig on any future projects involving (in alphabetical order) Jessica Alba, Kathy Bates, Jessica Biel, Bradley Cooper, Eric Dane, Patrick Dempsey, Hector Elizondo, Jamies Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Topher Grace, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Queen Latifah, George Lopez, Shirley Maclaine, Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts, Taylor Swift and the director of Pretty Woman.

Even if his career is over, at least he has the satisfaction of knowing he's right.
Yeah that's the mature way of providing criticism to a "friend". Take to twitter. You have the right to your own opinion but to trash a movie you haven't even seen and that other people worked hard on is stupid. But I'm sure Twilight is a better movie and not a get rich quick scheme. Good luck with that.
LOL! I doubt the actors really care, but while trying to climb out of that hole he dissed Gary Marshall! Marshall and his good friends make up most of TV and movies. As the commenter above pointed out, he's coming from a very hypocritical place. Put your shirt back on or break your own fingers before you tweet next, kid.
