Corey Haim dead at the age of 38

I wonder how some of these celebs manage to get clean? It sems like most just spiral out of control when drugs get a hold of them. I was reading about the Two Corey's show A&E had and it seems like the show could have worked if Haim could have just put the drugs down.

I've got some extrended family members into that stuff and it is sad to see someone fall prey to the addiction.

I have to put that in my "to watch" list.
 
[quote name='fatherofcaitlyn']On Oxygen, there are showing "Can't Buy Me Love" with Amanda Peterson. At first glance, I thought it was Corey Haim. I thought, "Man, that's disrepectful."[/QUOTE]

That movie fucking ruled. I always preferred the Patrick Dempsey 80s movies. I like that one where he was a pizza delivery boy manwhore.

[quote name='Interstella 5555']Man I remember when CH pulled out his tooth and hair just to sell it on ebay, obviously to support his drug habits. I'm not really surprised this happened.

Why don't I remember him in the film? I just saw it a couple months ago.

[quote name='javeryh']No more Two Coreys??? Feldman is going to be pissed.[/QUOTE]

Two Coreys ended because neither of them wanted to do it any further.

RIP Corey you'll never have to deal with this type of shit again.

[quote name='yukine']

And that was in 2007, it is unbelievable he even lived this long. It's hard to feel sorry for someone who just didn't care anymore, I do feel bad for his family though.[/QUOTE]

He was doing that amount of pills before 2007, he has since cleaned up. He actually was in the early stages of making a comeback. It's too bad he had to go before then.

That movie was awesome I got it on dvd "extra anchovies" was it?

No offense to Dempsey, Haim(RIP), Feldman, Mccarrthy, Nelson, or Cruise.
I have to say though the king of the 80's flicks is Cusack:

The Sure Thing
One Crazy Summer
Better Off Dead
Sixteen Candles
Say Anything

Hall is a close second with:

National Lampoons Vacation
Sixteen Candles
Weird Science
The Breakfast Club

What's up with people pissing on the graves of those who just passed away? You're not funny you're just sick for getting a kick off doing it.
 
I think he's just trying to copycat Heath Ledger's boost to Dark Knight.

Sorry Corey, nothing you can do will boost the sales for Lost Boys 3.

He was in the Strip Club scene and a scene later on where he was on the street trying to talk to Amy Smart's character.
 
[quote name='lokizz']yeah btw how was lost boys 2 anyway ?[/QUOTE]


hhhhaarrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiibllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeee. They did get Keifer Sutherlands half brother to play the main vampire though.

We're not funny. We're hilarious.

If Haim had died in a car accident, was murdered, succumbed to a long term illness or had died in some manner other than suicide, I wouldn't make fun of him. However, he killed himself in a manner people in Hollywood have killed themselves for the last 50 years. A man who chooses to off himself after having mountains of money and pussy handed to him doesn't warrant a lot of sympathy from me. Maybe I'll shed some tears next month with another washed-up has-been dies from restarting their 20+ year addiction to drugs.

Whoa. He was the dude with the mullet? No wonder I didn't recognize him. That, and I was mostly staring at Amy Smart whenever she was in a scene.

It's streamable on Netflix, but even seeing it for "free" I felt ripped off.

While I agree I won't shed tears for most people that OD, you aren't hilarious. At least, not in the way you think you are.
 
I turned on BBC World News America to see stories on Iran/Afghani relations, updates on US' willingness to stay in Afghanistan and Iraq, and how the poor economic conditions faced by US states is destroying public education due to a lack of funding.

Then I turn on CNN and see Corey Feldman talking about how there were plans in the works to do a sequel to "License to Drive" on Larry King Live. They even had a "Remembering Corey" graphic on the screen.

I fucking hate the US media.

Celebrities need to not be the focus of attention... CNN isn't E! or TMZ.

agreed. its annoying you have to watch damn near 4 diff news stations and go online just to get the real news you want to know. the local station i watch has like 3 or 4 minutes of real news and the rest is fluff.


and by what some of you said i wont be looking for lost boys 2. i figured itd probaly be shit but it sounds like its worse than that.

Was it the top story? Maybe they had already covered world events by then?
 
Now this is sad...

Former NFL star, actor Merlin Olsen dies

Former football star and television actor Merlin Olsen has died after a long battle with cancer, the St. Louis Rams said Thursday.
He was 69.
 
no, larry king live is a prime-time all fluff show on a news channel. it was the michael jackson is dead program for half a year or so, and still is once a week or more.

i'd rather watch Hannity than Larry King, and that ain't an exaggeration.

Lost Boys got a sequel.
Dream a Little Dream got a sequel.
A ton of crappy Corey Haim movies from the 90's got sequels.

You're not hilarious, you make me sick. Haim did succumb to a long term illness - being addicted to drugs is an illness i.e. substance dependence (you'll find it in the DSM). You can get hooked very easily, just depends on each person's biological makeup, may only take a few times using. He was handed the world to him like so many other childhood actors and then it was taken away from him at the same time he was given loads of money and easy access to drugs. Hollywood is fucked - why do you think this shit happens to so many childhood actors. He went in and out of rehab many times and battled it for most of his life. And recently within the last year he finally seemed to have gotten a hold on it. He was very busy doing work and taking care of his mother who has cancer. Yet somehow in your deluded world this guy willingly killed himself. Do you know nothing about drugs and addiction?

Here's all the stuff he was working on
http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1633663/story.jhtml

The new License to Drive movie was going to be License to Fly.
 
Oh please... spoken like an addict. You make the choice to use drugs, I was around drugs where I lived growing up and I never touched the stuff. I made that choice, he did not.

Drug addiction is on the same level as multiple sclerosis or cancer. Alcohol and pills force themselves down your throat. Heroin injects itself into your veins. Cocaine rolls up a dollar bill and runs up your nose. Wait for it ... :roll:.
Is ODing on drugs a necessary component to working on "B" movies and taking care of a cancer-ridden mother?

If he had died with nothing in his system and organ damage from past drug use was the cause of death, your picture of a man turning his life around would be accurate. It happens. It is sad when it happens.

The autopsy will determine my final opinion. If he died clean and sober, I'll be more than happy to take down the "Weekend at Corey Haim's" picture. If he ODed like the cops think he did, you'll continue to feel his death is a tragedy and I'll have my opinion that another spoiled Hollywood junkie killed himself validated.

As far as my personal knowledge of drugs and addiction, I've watched drunks in my stepmother's family ruin the lives of their wives and children. When they died or their wives left them, their survivors' lives improved substantially.

A death isn't always a bad thing.

It is when the original Bozo the Clown died :cry:.i bet hes playing that awesome grand prize game in the sky right now........and giving out some sweet fucking prizes.
 
It takes a real asshole to make fun of someone's death. Haim was making millions as a teenager, he was young, rich and dumb back at that age. I can remember doing stupid shit when I was a teenager, I couldn't imagine what I would've got into if I had millions of dollars. The way I always look at it no matter how they die, that's someone's son, brother, sister, dad, uncle, whatever. And just think about what they're going through.

Just because someone tries a drug doesn't mean they wanted to keep doing it or do it enough that it leads to their death. People do dumb/desperate stuff when their young or when they're miserable. They don't realize how they can become addicted so easily. I doubt you've ever done drugs or been so low that they were the only thing preventing you from committing suicide. You don't seem to be able to relate to that.

What's so bad about working on B movies? You gotta start at the bottom when you want to have a career in something. What were your first jobs like? When you screw up you have to start back at the bottom again.

By your logic you would also believe that all drunks want to be drunks and want to ruin the lives of those around them because they're choosing that intentionally, not that some (most) of them have no control over their addiction.

Tell that to his mother who no longer has him by her side helping her through her chemo and to his family and friends who enjoyed his company.

Furthermore, you do not know yet how he died, whether it was from OD or from something else. So it's okay to piss on someone's grave because you assume something about them and then go back and wipe it down with a towel when you find out their autopsy results...

[quote name='yukine']Oh please... spoken like an addict. You make the choice to use drugs, I was around drugs where I lived growing up and I never touched the stuff. I made that choice, he did not.[/QUOTE]

Unless you live in someone else's shoes you cannot judge the decisions they make. He made the choice to try drugs under circumstances that many people would try drugs under. He did not choose to become as addicted as he did and to ultimately die from it.
