You know what sucks?

All of Matthew McConaughey’s movie choices recently.

And his latest project, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, does nothing to reverse the trend.

McConaughey stars as Connor Mead, a celebrity photographer so talented he only needs to take one photo for the job to be done. A notorious womanizer, he manages to dump a gaggle of girls over iChat while his latest conquest looks on and, despite his reprehensible behavior, she’s still desperate to sleep with him immediately after witnessing his cold, calculated chauvinism.

If Ebenezer Scrooge had been a notorious playboy with abs of steel, a sly smile and a Southern accented voice that oozed like warm honey, he would have been Connor Mead, a man who “loves women, all women…that’s the problem.”

This afternoon at the Ghosts of Girlfriends Past press junket, director Mark Waters – perhaps in a bid to drum up press for yet another unfunny, unromantic rom-com where Matthew McConaughey plays a despicable yet adored lothario – Waters was shockingly forthcoming about his opinions on Lindsay Lohan.

Waters and Lindsay worked together on both Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, making him responsible for launching her career.
