Garry Marshall, the veteran director of Lindsay Lohan's new movie Georgia Rule, has chimed in on all the controversy surrounding the young actress. First off, Marshall talks about Lohan's absences from the set:
Once somebody walks on my set, it's my problem, but we can't go chasing them. ... This film is low-budget. We can't lose days. ... Tough love is a part of this business – she missed a day on the second week of shooting.
The "tough love" referred to by Garry came in the form of a now-famous letter, penned by Morgan's Creek production chief James G. Robinson, which threatened Lindsay with legal action if she didn't shape up. According to Marshall, the sternly-worded missive "did the trick." Now, Lohan is embroiled in another controversy, involving some video of her doing cocaine with a friend in the bathroom of Teddy's. So what does Garry think about this news surfacing right in time for the premiere of his movie?
Any publicity is good publicity, but in this case, I think it distorts what a good actress Lindsay is.
I have to say, I was stunned by that last statement. I always thought Garry Marshall was a level-headed, intelligent man, but now I see he is as much of a putz as everyone else in Lindsay's life. Seriously - these assholes are lined up around the block to make excuses for Lohan, and explain her bullshit away as media misrepresentation. According to Marshall, because the media focus on the bad stuff, no one really appreciates how good an actress Lohan is? Well who's fault is that Garry? I'll tell you - it's the little red-headed nitwit's fault. If she wants people to see her as an actress and not a coked-up slut, she should stop acting like a coked-up slut, or at least be more discreet about it. Here's the problem with that though - Lindsay wants people to think she's a coked-up slut. Because then they will continue paying attention to her. Whether Lindsay is a good actress or not is utterly irrelevant to the conversation, because Lindsay herself has made it irrelevant. Jeez Garry - get your big dumb head out of your ass. And while you're at it, would you mind explaining what the fuck you were thinking when you made Exit to Eden? Rosie O'Donnell in S&M gear? Who the hell did you think wanted to see that?
(One more thing - why is Jane Fonda almost fondling Lindsay's boob in that picture? That is really fucking creepy.)
