Corey Haim R.I.P.

[Evel KMego]

Bummer. I liked him in the 80's, before the drugs. He had a cool charm to his persona in films like Lost Boys and License to Drive. Never could straighten it back up. Sad.

[huedell]

For those of you that were saying you thought Feldman would be the first to pass away---I'd disagree---

but I may be a bit biased as Haim never made an impression on me as an actor- so that may've had something to do with it--

-none of Haim's movies were intentional repeat viewers for me---at least
Feldman had GREMLINS.

But even AFTER the "Corey Hey Days" at least I HEARD about
Feldman's struggle in the "news"...I saw him at a comicbook show with
a hot GF who may now be his wife...he seemed to be pretty centered
and visible despite his drug problems, etc.

Haim on the other hand? I had not much heard from in "the news"
since back when.

To me..."Less Visible (than Feldman)" plus "Drug Problem" = "Sooner To Die" (than Feldman)

RIP

Remember kids. Mixing booze with opiates....not a good thing!!

Do pain killers and/or slepping pills count as an opiate?
Is that what he died from?

[Earth 2 Chris]

Not true... There was the "Two Coreys" show on (I think) VH-1....

Yeah my wife reminded me of that. I forget sometimes that everyone has had a reality show.

Sad to hear regardless of the cause.

Haim was doing conventions as well, Feldman was just a little more active on tv and stuff .... but it's still sad

Haim may have been...but my point was I didn't see him or hear about all
that much...especially compared to Feldman.

[BlackKnight]

when they were Kids ...
both just a few yrs older than me BTW ...
With the Media, I coulda Sworn Feldman was always covered doing bad stuff, and getting introuble, and Haim was like the Clean Cut one. I am more so talking in the Hight of thier Fame of Teen Idols. So I can Kinda see what everyone is saying. ..., Feldman cleaned his act up a ton more, and Haim obviously just didn't know when to quit.

As far as THE comment about Hollywood somewhat Awarding these Young Drug Addicts Death with all the Nonstop Coverage of these Cercumstances of Tragedy ..., really look No further than Ledger. IMO ..., because he had Past due to a Drug overdose ..., that Oscar shoulda been on Downey jr.'s Shelf.

I think Feldman's legacy is a little more in tact because of "Stand By Me" and "The Goonies". He worked more consistently in smaller rolls, like in "The 'Burbs" too. Haim's film career never had hits on that level. He had problems getting work due to his reputation, got fired off a couple of jobs, and lived back in Toronto for a while because he had some tax trouble or something, made it hard for him to maintain his work visa. That's around the time I knew him. I think he briefly worked part-time at a record store too, which is why I totally buy that he had applied for work at a health food store. Actually, a friend of mine helped him with his resume for a bit, but he got a couple of small Hollywood acting gigs and they were willing to help him with his work visa or green card or whatever, so I think he was able to move back to California. I firmly believe that he had his chances again and again.

Feldman still does his stupid and silly Michael Jackson shtick...just for that...he should be thrown off a cliff...

He also just came on Larry King tonight...and he had the most pretentious and ridiculous hairstyle known to man...you can't take a dude seriously with stuff like that...

I only take them as seriously as I embrace their work....Feldman had
GREMLINS and, as I was reminded here in this thread...STAND BY ME.

I never got into any of Haim's stuff. Nothing against him personally.
The movies he was in just never stuck with me.

And it's not like I'm in love with Feldman's acting talent...it's just he did a
passable job in two movies I really liked...particularly GREMLINS which was
a small (but pivotal) role.

[batmanmc]

its tragic and i hope his family can have peace over his death.

That's the second or third time you have mention Feldman and Gremlins.

Whe I think of Gremlins...the last thing that crosses my mind is Feldman...lol.

That doesn't hide the fact that the dude is one big ******bag...

Sure it does ..., if you don't remember him in the Movie.
