Lindsay Lohan is back in jail – wait, just kidding, she posted bail and has now been sprung from the slammer!  The whole saga has gotten so out of hand, and I’ve quickly lost all respect for Lohan.  She needs to serve her entire sentence; I don’t care if she is a celebrity, a criminal is still a criminal!  She broke the law, and she ought to pay just like anyone else.

I don’t know why I feel so compelled to offer my thoughts on Lohan today.  I guess I just care about people, not celebrities.  It’s clear that she’s headed down the path to destruction, and buying her way out of prison and rehab isn’t going to help her at all.

I guess the overarching feeling that does tie this into the movies is that while I admire and love people who star in movies, I don’t think that by virtue of their work they are better people than us common folk.  They deserve to spend as much time in jail for drunk driving as any movie blogger.  We send politicians and executives to jail for extreme sentences; what makes movie stars more untouchable than them?

When I was about 6 years old (in 1998), I became infatuated with writing my favorite movie characters’ birthdays on my calendar.  I put most of them in October because my birthday is in October.  I remember Hallie and Annie, the twins from “The Parent Trap” played by Lindsay Lohan, were on October 11th (the only reason I remember this is because they say that is their birthday in the movie, which I watched this weekend in Florida).  The only other character I can remember writing on the calendar is Me Me Seku from the Tim Allen comedy “Jungle 2 Jungle.”  I am positive that there were many more, but my memory fails me.
