Corey Haim Found Dead

[darth los]

So we got clips and quotes. Man, this has me jonesing to see that flick again. I don't remember it that well, so this should be fun. It's always surreal to watch an artist at their craft after they have passed. When i saw TDK All i kept thinking about was what a talent we lost in ledger. Too bad i can't say the same for haim tho. still it's a human life.

I always liked him in "Silver Bullet," "Lost Boys" and "Liecence to drive" it's just too bad he couldn't help himself and get off the drugs. Such a tragedy

Poor Corey. I guess this means we'll never get a REAL Lost Boys sequel with the true cast.

'Nuckin Futs. I hate that Haim didn't have the great success of other child stars like Gary Coleman, Mackenzie Phillips, or Sasha Mitchell. Honestly, I think entirely too much pressure is placed on child actors/actresses that can lead to an entirely out-of-whack "superiority" complex or unreasonable expectations of life. j.p.

Honestly, I think entirely too much pressure is placed on child actors/actresses that can lead to an entirely out-of-whack "superiority" complex or unreasonable expectations of life. I think that's a fair assessment. I mean, who wants to peak at 10 and why should parents/agents etc. set up this belief that a kid has to replicate the same sort of success? It's just programming them for a (very probable) letdown and subsequent misery.

Not all child stars are let downs, though. Look at Christian Bale. Now one of the biggest stars in the world. Same with Shia Labeouf. The difference is that these guys applied themselves and actually tried. I refuse to believe that Haim tried to better his career. All he tried to do was live off his past success and score some more dope...

You know, 'corey' has a totally different meaning in the UK... Gruesome and Gory [noun]: The penis. Rhyming slang for corey (UK). Is that right, then? Learn something new everyday.

I was never a fan of Haim and never really dug him having seen some interviews back in the day where he came off like an egotistical fool. Surely a lot of that was simply the idiocy of youth combined with having experienced a celebrity life at such a young age. He came off even worse in that Corey show but by that time he was nothing more that a washed up addict has-been who's behavior made Feldman look like a well adjusted and self actualized dude in comparison ( which has to hurt). Nevertheless it is very sad to hear that he has passed. May he rest in peace

Correctamundo. Didn't know about 'gruesome and gory' though. If you think that's funny, one of the attorneys i work for is named Robert Wanker. Ah, good times at the office.

Just about everyone under the age of 30 is going "who?" right now.

Just about everyone under the age of 30 is going "who?" right now. I've known who both Corey's were since I was about 3 or 4 years old; The Lost Boys has been one of my favorite movies since it was released. RIP!

That's why they call it a disease my friend. Disease my arse. Cancer is a disease. Taking drugs is a choice.

[krakenslayer]

Disease my arse. Cancer is a disease. Taking drugs is a choice. Having unprotected sex is a choice, HIV/AIDS is a disease. Taking drugs is a choice, addiction is a disease.

Disease my arse. Cancer is a disease. Taking drugs is a choice. There are many PHD's that will disagree with you on that. I think I'll defer to their expertise on that one. Having unprotected sex is a choice, HIV/AIDS is a disease. Taking drugs is a choice, addiction is a disease. Can't disagree with you there.
