Corey Haim 1971-2010

Published at:  Mar 10, 2010 9:53:45 AM CST



I am – Hercules



Very sad news! Corey Haim, so terrific as the titular nerd opposite Kerri Green and Charlie Sheen and Winona Ryder in a great little movie called “Lucas,” passed away a few hours ago here in Burbank, according to the LAPD.

Haim may be best known to AICNers for his role as young Sam Emerson, an Arizona transplant wary of Kiefer Sutherland and the other Santa Clara vampires in “The Lost Boys.”

He made his feature debut in "Firstborn," then went on to prominent roles in "Silver Bullet," “Murphy’s Romance,” “License to Drive,” and “Dream a Little Dream.”

More recently he appeared in A&E reality show “The Two Coreys” opposite frequent co-star and sidekick Corey Feldman.

    by sailor rip

    A nice classy joke in an obit column.

    Seriously though, this sucks. You don't realize how much you appreciated these guys growing up until they're gone. Wasn't the greatest actor ever but Lucas is an outstanding film and The Lost Boys and License to Drive are good. Hell, I even really like Dream a Little Dream. RIP.

    The A&E reality show

    by american mythos

    I seem to remember an article somewhere, or perhaps it was a TalkBack, where someone mentioned the ugly stuff the A&E editors left out of the show about the Coreys, including Haim passed out on the couch with a needle in his arm. It was obvious he was a raging drug addict during the show's filming. First the guy from Growing Pains, now Haim. It looks like Death is shooting for an '80s theme this year.

    by jedibobster

    This is one of those deaths that is going to mean a LOT to a certain demographic and fuck all to most others. To me it means mostly the death of Sam Emerson, and that is simething that saddens me greatly. Sure I knrew him form LUCAS, SILVER BULLET, LICENSE TO DRIVE, WATCHERS and even rented BLOWN AWAY hoping for a cheap thrill. But The LOST BOYS will always be his best and most enduring movie moment. I'm still sorta hoping he's just playing dead. And doin' a damn good job
    of it, too. In respect I hope everyone sorts out there comic collections.

    Sad but not surprising news

    by williamzabkarox

    Haim had drugs problems for years so this is not really surprising news but it's still really sad especially when you consider how hard this guy fell. He was one of the biggest teen stars in the world and drugs and money problems destroyed his career. He only made a handfull of good movies but had so much potential (still think Feldman was a far better actor of the two). It was nice to see both Haim and Feldman reunite on their show but clearly Haim still had major problems and it was still destroying his life and comeback. I can't even begin to imagine Feldman's reaction to this because they were like brothers.

    by spud mcspud

    ...Like a lot of 80s kids, I grew up watching his movies thinking about how much I'd love to BE that guy. LICENSE TO DRIVE - Every kind of awesome. DREAM A LITTLE DREAM - Possibly the most under-rated teen movie ever made, a mini-masterpiece. WATCHERS - Great stuff. SILVER BULLET. PRAYER OF THE ROLLERBOYS. And obviously THE LOST BOYS - a formative movie for most of us.

    It's a shame fame got to him in this obvious and wasteful way, and it's a shame he let it get to him that way. Maybe now he'll find some peace. Now I'm digging out the best movies of the two Coreys and getting all wrapped up in 80s nostalgia tonight.

    Thanks for the memories, thanks for the movies, Corey. You'll always be the coolest younger brother I never had back in the late 80s...

    by am102102

    It's a shame that this morning I didn't see the front page article on Yahoo, and feel upset looking at the picture with the tag line "Corey Haim dead at 38". "Matter of time" is all I could muster.Like every teen from the '80s, I thank you Mr. Haim for the preformances you gave us and the memories left on film.(VHS or DVD, your preferrence).....
    But realize this, you've broadcasted your pain and misery for all to see. Had several noted celebrities surround you and encourage you to beat this disease you had. And you didn't....point blank......

    Now I'll have to put up listening to Corey Feldman cry, bitch, moan and complain, in that agrivating voice and way that he talks, that he's lost a friend and a brother due to your substance abuse, and so on.....for weeks on end.

    Send Brad and River our regards when you see them.

    by blckmgk13

    ...where I watched the movie of the actor literally the day before they died. I watched "The Ramen Girl" with Brittany Murphy and thought to myself, "Wow, I wonder what she's up to these days?" and then Boom, dead. Yesterday I was bored having the day off work, and thought, "Hmm I will pop in Lost Boys, been awhile since I watched that..." and BOOM Corey Haim dead the next morning. Coincidence? Probably. But still...

    Mourning

    by spyplanex

    I'm a bit ashamed for what may likely be a lengthy post, where a brief one expressing condolences is proper.

    I can't say I've ever been an admirer of Mr. Haim's work, nor a frequent poster on this site. But why should either one necessary, to express sadness for a man's death? And it's on this point that more than a few AICN readers get confused.

    I used to get angry when people would trash mourners and accuse them of inauthenticity. And there's nothing you can do, since you can't explain to people who aren't listening, so the anger turned into this sludge of disappointment in "people". But between the crippled posts is everyone else - the ones who feel, despite cheap attacks from trolls who refuse to participate in one of the most genuine demonstrations of humanity: sharing a sense of loss for another human being.

    I'm grateful for this site as a place to recognize things of real worth. I enjoy the insights and the dialogue over worthwhile ideas and creations. We appreciate the beauty and wonder of the art, and too rarely pay respect to the lives behind them, perhaps because you need to look more closely to see them. We can ponder on whether that blindness is what reduces life to material concern rather than meaningful depth. We can ask whether that failing is what contributed to Mr. Haim's premature death. We can even discuss whether that's why the trolls can't get it and inevitably show up in these talkbacks. But I think it's better just to be a fan of worthwhile things, so we can better develop vision to see through the dark, and not trip over those who can't see.

    AICN is a mirror to pop culture, and what readers reflect back shows who they are. When people fail to see what's meaningful, when they can find no worth in things outside their narrow preferences, the art and wonder is lost - but really, it's only their loss, not ours. I no longer feel anger or disappointment at these comments, because they come from people who can't understand what's going on here. For those who miss the real point, I just feel pity, because despite the accusations of inauthenticity, it's they who fail to engage in what truly is authentic.

    RIP, Mr. Haim. I may not have been an admirer, and perhaps that's my blindness. But I can recognize your contribution reflected in the words of others. With that light, I can see so much better. Thank you for your work.

    Herc wroite the obit, so did you really expect anything other than a cut and paste job? That's all his writing consists of is pasting what he got from another source, putting very few of his own words around it, and calling it "cool news".

    by kaiser soze

    I can't even count the number of girls rooms I saw with your face on the wall. It sure was hard to make a move with your mug staring at us (granted, at the time, I was young enough that the "move" was risking coodies for just one kiss on the lips). I saw Silver Bullet, License to Drive, Lost Boys, and Dream a Little Dream in theaters. Saw Blown Away even though it was shit because you made sure it had that hot girl from Charles in Charge's tits in it. And yes, I dug on Lucas, but again, that was more because it had that cute redhead from the Goonies (whatever happened to Kerri Green?), and it was the beginning of a decades-long crush on Winona Ryder. But all in all you provided many hours of childhood entertainment and many excuses to get a girl to go see a movie with me. Thanks for that, man! Sorry your life got so out of control and you were unable to handle the pressures of fame at so young an age. RIP

    The Academy honoured people who died in 2009. The people who died in 2010 will be honoured next year. I think the exception was John Hugues because ocasionally, they homage somebody who was very dear or very important and they can't pass hommaging them in the very year they died. They did that with Heath Ledger and Stanley Kubrick, i believe.

    What is it with drugs? I come from a family with a number of alcoholics and excessive drinking just seems like a dysfunctional way to deal with stress. These guys all held down jobs though, it was after work and on weekends. There are plenty of ways to ruin your life, I have done a few of them myself, but I guess drugs just grab some people by the throat and pull them down. RIP Corey Haim.

    by asimovlives

    ... sound like the stories of incredibly stupid idiots who had the world in their palm and fucked it all up because of something so stupid as drugs. Worst, they live in a place, Holywood, which is filled to the grills of cautionary tales of people who fucked up their careers and lives for the sake of drugs and losing touch with reality. One would wonder that, 90 years after holylwood was founded, that by now somebody would finally learn the lesson. That stories like this keep on perpectuating can only be a testement to what kind of pressures and temptations, and wost, how many hangers on and leaches who live and feed from the stars and push and pull them into this type of problems that keep causing this type of fall. And the worst insult is that this people who actually got into limelight, who actually got a break, and fucked i up, when for each of those who experience some sucess, there's literally thousand who are struggling for litte rewards. It's so unjust.

    Lohan is having the nerve to sue a trading company for using the name Lindsay in one of their commercials, Lohan claims that her name (Lindsay) is as recognizable as Oprah and Madonna. That crazy bitch is actually thinking she is on the same level of fame and notoriety as Oprah and Madonna. When someone says the name Lindsay, no one, I mean NO ONE automatically thinks Lindsay Lohan. You say Oprah or Madonna people know who you are talking about. Say Lindsay and people will say "Lindsay who?". It's pathetic that she thinks for one second she is that famous. She is little more than tabloid fodder at this point. In the grand scheme of Hollywood she is of no relevance anymore, but someone has convinced her she is. Poor diluted creature.

    His Influence On My Life

    by eloy

    I dont feel much of anything these days except an ongoing, permeating, quiet sadness. Reasons are hardly the point right now and the fact is only relevant merely to point out another indisputable fact about my life: pretty much the only happiness I get nowadays, the only moments I get to experience life as a brething, must-have event come from movies, present and past. And tall among them all stand the jolts of pure joy that Greg Beeman, John Schumacher, and Corey Haim bring to me every single time I watch The Lost Boys and, particularly, License to Drive. I keep reading how Haim died a junkie, miserable and left behind, much like the way I constantly feel myself -minus the drug part, thank God-, and I cant stop a despairing misery from trying to make his way into me. It doesnt seem fair that a man so largely responsible for giving me such invincible moments of pure happiness and gratitude to be alive has gone feeling so low, alone. And yet, even with his death, he just gave me one last gift of hope for, if he was able to help me go on through one more day and even smile at it without even knowing I exist, maybe I am not beyond that point myself and can still claim true purpose to my life, affecting others in such a decisive way even if I dont get to know about it in the end. Hopefully, and most importantly, I'll be able to do it with myself.
    Thank you, Corey, for getting Mercedes and making me feel like I do, too, every single time. I hope I can screen myself a double feature tonight. May your soul rest in peace for all eternity. Love to you.

Still, I figured they had the chance of a lifetime. They had stardom and big money as teens, which should have (ideally) set them up for life financially OR at least served as an amazing first step toward becoming great actors as adults.But fucking Hollywood...it just eats these kids up and spits them out. So, I hope Haim can finally find the peace that seemed to elude him all his adult life. And I hope Feldman will look at this and realize he needs to fly the straight and narrow -- maybe even use his decades long friendship with Haim to speak up and do a little bit to help teach kids just how fucked up Hollywood and stardom and most definitely drugs can be. At least then, as cliched as it sounds, perhaps some good can come from this sad story and its tragic end.

    Read Ebert's review of 'Lucas'

    by richard cranium

    In it, he noted that not only did he expect Haim to become a major child star, but a major movie star once he reached adulthood. I have to agree, he is fantastic in that movie. With all due respect to Hughes, that's the best High School movie of the 80's in my opinion.

    And Lohan suing E-Trade is just FUCKING NUTS

    by big dumb ape

    I can't believe she's actually filed papers to sue E-Trade for $100 MILLION in "emotional distress and damages" because she thinks their recent baby "milkaholic" commercial is SPECIFICALLY a joke about her and her public antics. Just because the one baby girl is named Lindsay. The joke: E-Trade has already issued a statement point out that a woman NAMED Lindsay was on the creative team that actually created the ad. So it WAS meant to be an inside joke, but about one of their own people!Still, the idea that Lohan thinks she's now a "one word star" and the name "Lindsay" should now belong to her as a business trademark just goes to show she's either drinking too much or snorting too many lines of coke -- in which case I guess we'll be posting comments about her obit too. And if Lohan's gone THIS nutty, then probably very soon!

    by laserpants

    That's crazy reasoning, man. A bad movie is just a bad movie, regardless of when it's made. The only time that reasoning does make sense is in regards to efx. The efx in the original Terminator are pretty crap by today's standards, so judged by that yardstick it looks ridiculous now. BUT it's still a great sci-fi/action movie with a cool story, and thus remains a classic.On the vampire tip, Near Dark came out around the same time and it's great. Lost Boys is just a REALLY bad movie. There are no redeeming qualities. But yeah, if you like it for nostaligia's sake, I understand.

    I always found Haim - and Feldman - to be under-rated, and even though I didn't exactly follow their careers, I always enjoyed seeing them pop up (Haim's cameo in Crank 2 springs to mind).

    It's clear Haim had his demons. Here's hoping he's free of them of them now.

    The guy was never likely to win an Oscar, but he was always fun to watch in a movie, both he and Feldman were a part of the movie landscape for those of us growing up in the eighties. The Lost Boys, License to Drive, Watchers, Silver Bullet - heck the quality of his films may have varied wildly but they were all at the very least fun. He was fucking stupid to get so hooked into the drugs world but hey, he's an actor, no shocker there. Just a damn shame he lost all his advantages over it, and now its such a fucking waste he pissed his life away too. He was no A Lister, but he had a lot more going for him earlier in his life than most of us can dream about and its a shame his demons destroyed that. Rest in Peace, man. You left some cool films behind and that's more than most manage in life.

    As for this TB - it's great we can be a little irreverent (lostboytexass, I got your back!) and still respect what Haim left us. Reading gargling balls alongside Eloy's eloquent post is what makes me keep coming back here - because you fuckers are hilarious. A question to Psynapse, though: yes, your opinion may be valid, but is there really a point to popping up in an obit to say how pointless you think they are? What do you expect - we all read it, go "Yeah, that guy has a point!" and stop eulogising the Haimster? Ain't gonna happen. His movies made a lot of our childhoods much better, and we feel the need to express respect to the guy for that. Respect: now THERE'S a word you should look up, and attempt to understand, maybe even implement. Because your Momma should have taught you that if you can't say anything nice in certain situations, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all.

    by spud mcspud

    (500) DAYS OF SUMMER had a kick-ass soundtrack. If you're a flaming 80s emo!! HEH!!

    I keed, I keed. I loved it. Not as much as THE LOST BOYS soundtrack, though. And my undoubted favourite movie track of all time is Danny Wilde's TIME RUNS WILD on the DREAM A LITTLE DREAM soundtrack. All evocative of the transience of the place between childhood and adulthood, and how we all long to get back there once the complexities and cynicism of adulthood get their hooks into us... An awesome song. Honestly, DREAM A LITTLE DREAM sneaks philosophy into a story about a boy and the girl he loves from afar, and does it brilliantly, and with a cast with WAY more gravitas than your average teen movie: Jason Robards, Piper Laurie, Harry Dean Stanton... Way under-rated, and certainly more than just a teen movie.

    by darth thoth

    I'm in shock. I grew up a fan of his and was deeply troubled by his addiction issues. When someone goes down that path you pray that they are able to recover, always knowing that time is also working against them. I guess I always envisioned him ultimately kicking the habits, making more movies with Feldman, and being able to look back over the journey of his life as a victor. Now, I can only pray that he has found peace in death. I trust God and believe Corey has. God bless his soul. And God bless his family, friends, and us fans who are left to mourn. Drugs kill man. They really do. And this one hurts. And I'm not ashamed to say it. Man.

    by smackfu

    Allow me to take a moment to deconstruct why you feel the need to come into celebrity obit forums and express your concerns about celebrity worship.

    As a being with an ego, like all beings with egos, you have a pressing need to prove to yourself that you are superior, or at the very least unique in some way. Some people, like yourself, choose to go about this by berating people who mourn for celebrities to generate this feeling of intellectual superiority.

    The problem is, your intellect not only isn't superior, it's actually slighly *inferior*, because it has failed to provide you with knowlege that the rest of us take for granted.

    Which is this; it is perfectly normal, and logical, for a human being to be more concerned with the welfare of someone he knows, over someone he doesn't know. It's a fundamental aspect of our psyche, without it we would have no instinct to nurture our families and communities. Without it, your monkey forefather would have had no desire to protect his monkeybabies, and you would most likely not be here right now.

    And while we certainly don't *know* a celebrity in the same way we do family of friend, we certainly do know them a lot more than we know perfect strangers. We know their names, their faces, trivia about their personal lives, we know how their careers are going, and the work they do does affect us, some in a minor way, some in a major way. Most people who *are* celebrities, were driven down that path due to the influence of other celebrities in their lives. So obviously we're going to care about celebrities more than someone who we know nothing about at all. If YOU do not care more about people you slightly know over people you don't know at all, then there is quite simply something wrong you YOU, because your logical process isn't intact.

    Let me break down that logical process for you so you can see what I mean

    1. Human beings have an innate tendency to care more about people they are familiar with, than people they are not. This is a fact.

    2. If we were to reduce familiarity to a numbered scale, zero being someone you don't know at all and 10 being someone you love deeply, a celebrity's rating would fall above zero, since something is more than nothing.

    3. Real numbers are greater than zero. This is a fact.

    There. Using pure logic, I've invalidated your opinion. More to the point, I've proven that any normally functioning human being would be sadder about a celebrity death than the death of a perfect stranger. So the question is, do you have some sociopathic defect that does not allow you to make familiar connections, or are you just talking out of your ass to make yourself look/feel smarter than you are? I think it's the last one.

    Tragedy? Really?

    by fscottnational

    I don’t mean to be glib, but this is not a surprise, nor is it newsworthy. The only item of note was that he was once an actor, and a shitty one at that.

    This is no tragedy, people. He made and continued to make bad choices, and slowly chiseled away at his lifespan as a result. It’s the sort of thing that happens to countless junkies every day. The only difference is that most of those junkies didn’t star in a series of 80’s teen angst dramadies that people continuously wax nostalgically about.

    If people were less interested in trying to exploit him (I’m looking at you, A&E) and more interested in trying to help him, perhaps people wouldn’t be in this talkback discussing him in the past tense.

    Says a lot more about you than it does Corey.

    He was a child/teenage film actor - an entertainer with a number of memorable roles. He had his personal problems... who the hell doesn't.

    He accomplished more in his relatively short film-making career than 99.9% of the Talkbackers - including me - will accomplish in the field.

    He also scored Nicole Eggert.

    This is apparently is a source for bitter self-loathing for some TBers.

    Poor Corey Haim...

    by badwaldo s revenge

    I used to own an unintentional comedy videotape "Me, Myself and I" - 1989 Corey Haim diary. Hardcore narcissist. http://bit.ly/bW8QO

    I have no pity for him because he let drugs get the best of him. He had a huge head. As the result of this bloated ego where he thought the world revolved around him, he ended up being a sore and impoverished loser. Maybe his parents coddled him so much his mind went screwy at a young age.

    At least he didn't commit suicide like Jonathan Brandis, who had similar ego issue where non-steady filmmaking and acting gig is for him instead of college education for a steady, humble, non-lucrative job.

    Losers who depend on drugs without extensive rehab end up six feet under like Brad Renfro, which was strangely left unmentioned at the Oscars' death-o-meter.
    I predict Gary Coleman will end up dead or O.J. his wife. And Lindsay Lohan O.D. on coke overdose or dying in a freak accident. Child stardom has its price, with rare exception - well-grounded actors who go to college and remain stable and steady such as James Franco, Jodie Foster, Claire Dane, and Natalie Portman.
    Let this serve as a warning to parents who want their children to become stars without instilling strong values emphasizing education and groundedness as the balance of a healthy self. Immature "sudden sitcom/movie star" children's ego tend to supernova that end up pitifully tragic.

    I'm not quite sure how you equate being sad that someone died = celebrity worship. I did't 'worship' the Dairy Queen down the block from me, but I was sad to see it torn down, as I had fond childhood memories associated with it. How would someone being sad that Corey Haim died automatically equal worshiping him? Surely some small voice in the back of your mind must realize there's something wrong with this thought process. And as far as the 'word vomit' goes, that's why I put bullet points at the bottom, so people who don't like to read can stay focused on the point. I'm sorry I couldn't include pictures, but AICN doesn't allow html."Not a one of my posts made me feel any kind of superior". - what exactly is the point of coming into an obit thread simply to state that you don't care and to take a shot at people who do? What information are you trying to convey here? It's the same deal as people who come into a SNL thread to ask 'is this show still on?' or a Lost thread to point out how they're making it up as they go along and Lost fans are suckers for watching it. The underlying information that the poster is trying to convey, as with any form of heckle, is 'look at me, I'm better than you'. It's the underlying statement of 99% of all Internet posts.

    by uberman

    Being famous and wonderful and beautiful and then being washed up is hard. The Ego wants that adoration it once knew and is continually frustrated that it cannot have it back. I would be dead today had I been a 'Star' at an early age like Corey. And he still lived in that environment of agents and stars all around. To get clean, he would have had to let it go, and its hard for the Ego, the big 'I' to take a back seat when it once was the driver. Add addiction to this, and you've got a Death Sentance. You have to be pretty beaten down to surrender that Ego. You dont see many 'stars' get clean and stay clean. Staying in that environment is akin to a soldier getting his leg blown off, getting a new artificial limb, and then going to live in a mine field.

    You sound pretty bitter, and proud of it. Not surprising, since you're gay in a world that by and large despises you for what you are, you've no doubt built up quite a 'me against the world' mentality. What's an interesting irony though, is that someone who's spent most of their life struggling against small mindedness is himself very small minded. I imagine it's quite likely that if you were born straight, you would have been side by side with your tormentors.

There's definitely been a cultural shift because of reality t.v., easy celebrity, and the fucking internet that have made many people with narcissistic tendencies into full-blown cases of severe npd. However, I will say (and anyone with parents of that generation probably knows this by now) the fucking baby boomers have nearly CORNERED THE MARKET on npd. Jesus Christ - KENNEDY, VIETNAM, THE BEATLES, YOU SIMPLY CANNOT GET OVER YOUR YOUTH - WE FUCKING GET IT! My parents are like this and I have no egotistical problems because it's simply all about them, all the time! What does this have to do with Corey Haim? Drug addiction is, I think, often a result of npd (they simply make everything about them... and that hurts) and being in Hollywood and being a child star is like pouring gasoline on a raging inferno.

    Dude, that just aint right. I mean you generalize like a mofo. What you are saying in essence is that a celebrity death will generate more sympathy from people than that of a complete stranger. So when Polanksi dies he is going to generate more sympathy from people than some guy who was killed on the Ohio State campus? When Polanski dies, just like when MJ died, - and both were/are celebrities, a whole helluva lot of people did/will say good riddance. But those same people will feel bad for the total stranger who was killed at OSU. So smacky, try again.

    by smackfu

    Right but...they'd feel worse if they KNEW the person who was killed at OSU, right? Or if it was a friend of a friend? IE someone they are more familiar with than a total stranger. Basically all you've done, is picked out a technicality in my choice of wording, you're grasping. If in my original post I had worded it 'fondly familiar with' it would have complete invalidated your entire point, right? Right.

    My Haim story

    by dougmckenzie

    I met Corey Haim, about 10 years ago this summer, when I was doing a live-to-air show from a club in Toronto. He came in with a couple of his buddies, and hung around the DJ booth. I went and talked to him, and discovered his hands shaking pretty bad.I smoked a joint with him and ordered a couple of rounds of promo drinks, for him, and his entourage.At that point he said he was living with his parents back in Toronto, and was hoping to get some consistent work in the Canadian film and TV business. He was happy that he had just finished making a movie with Craig Sheffer, and Jen Beals (I can't remember the name, IMDB it if you want), and was hoping this was the start of a new career. His buddies and him left then probably to repeat the story at another club elsewhere.

    See, you were generalizing. There are "good" celebrities and there are "bad" celebrities. People make choices based upon who they feel more comfy with. If you liked MJ then maybe you would have had more sympathy with his death than that of the total stranger who got killed at OSU. But what if you were an OSU alum and felt a kinship there that trumped your feeling for MJ even though you did not know the guy? But if you hated MJ regardless his celebrity, you would feel more sympathy for the guy killed at osu whether you were an alum or not. The problem you have smacky is generalizing to try and make a point, bubbie.

    The Lost Boys, Lucas, License to Drive are some of my best memories as a teenager. I remember going to the Lost Boys, one of my first R rated movies to see in the theater. It was a blast.
    He was in a great movie early in his career called, "First Born," the kid should have sustained himself like Jody Foster or Kurt Russell.
    Haim was like all of the other teen idols, used up until he can no longer produce and then cast aside like garbage. I don't understand drugs, the appeal or the constant poisoning of your body, but whatever the hold was, it held Haim in it's grip mercilessly. Too bad, he seemed like a good person for the most part. Goddamn Hollywood has more bodies under it's floor than Mao See-Tung, Hitler and Stalin combined.

Mean time,while this is all going down cocaine is sitting on the coffee table at every house party you go to.You do a few lines and fuck chicks like Heather Graham,Drew Barrymore,Nicole Eggert and so on. The 1990's hit and life comes by and says "it's been fun but your run is over,hit the fucking bricks". Now you've got crazy drug habits and no way to pay for shit. You're cliche, a joke,and you're barely 20. I'm not saying my heart goes out to the guy cause he could've cleaned up a million times. Robert Downey jr and Drew Barrymore got there shit together and are still getting award nominations.

    Somewhere between pathetic and sympathetic.

    OK, so he wasn't a great actor, might have had an ego, and he got caught up in the Hollywood drug scene. Not reasons for me to be happy about his death.

    But I really can't feel too sorry, either. The guy had opportunities and wasted them on drugs.

    BTW, the guy posting about Polanski needs to look at the situation a bit closer. The guy rapes (not seduces, but rapes her after drugging her) a 13-year old girl, runs away to France, and then brags about it in interviews. Prison is appropriate for him (and similar Hollywood types who prey upon teens).

    Wow, the years have not been kind. Plastic surgery has made her face near unrecognizable ala Jennifer Grey. It's kind of funny, though, that the brainy middle child (Josie Davis) on Charles In Charge grew up to be the hottie milf and Nicole Eggert went Woof.

    Hey fuck face, I was stating that I HAD experimented with various drugs, and could understand the addict mentality. My drug of choice became weed, which because of economics and family responsibilities I had quit, but still have a craving of sorts for it (the mention of my subconscious dreams). In fact I believe it should be decriminalized, or altogether legalized.

    This is why parents should NEVER get their kids into

    by coughlins laws

    acting. Child stars are usually less (physically) mature than normal kids cause they need teenagers that can act to play kids younger than them. They also usually have very boyish features. So on top of the fact that they get treated like stars at too young an age, they usually are too short and look too young to play adult parts. Then, as they get older, they don't get treated like stars anymore and they turn to drugs. It's kind of pathetic. The parents and Hollywood itself is to blame, making money off young kids and ignoring them when they reach their twenties...

    The Best Part of the moive Bruno

    by inactionman

    was when Bruno was interviewing the stage parents and scenarios Bruno kept describing got more and more progressively dangerous "Is your child bothered by burning phosphorous?" I almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard.

    Someone should do a reality show titled something like "America's Worst Parents". It would just be someone interviewing these scumbag stage parents and asking them if their child can be filmed in dangerous and unsavory situations.

    But fine - it's shoved up my ass or something. It doesn't mean a thing. There's nothing you can say that would bother me. It only shows more of who you are. But if it makes you feel better, you can keep going, and I'll still pity you.

    and the drugs will always win. Depression is a hell of a demon to struggle with and once you hit your 30's the thoughts start becoming heavier as you try to reclaim some things that you've lost and start taking stock of your life. For some, those revelations can't be dealt with.

    2002 I think at Wondercon in Oakland. He was high as a kite on something. He was sweet as can be but could barely function. His mom was with him and he introduced me to her. Come on the mom HAD to know that day that Corey was loaded to the gills and she was still taking that $20 for an autographed photo from every fan in line.
    I should have asked him back to my hotel room. I bet he would have :)
