Corey Haim ......what can you say?

You know, I like a lot of people would like to remember Mr. Haim as Lucas, or Sam from The Lost Boys. But I cant because I saw this, like 8 years ago:
That shit has stuck with me like some horrible war nightmare ever since. And the worst part is you can see this slide starting ten years earlier in this next video. when he tries to tell the viewers that he's getting into directing soon as well as producing music (Go to the 2:29 mark to see something funny/sad.)
 You gotta think that fame is a real bitch, huh? I mean, I can drink 5 nights out of the week, pop painkillers,  and eat KFC every meal but no one gives a shit. Can you imagine, living with an out of control addiction and EVERYONE knowing who you are,
or rather used to be. This isn't like Lindsay Lohan either, (Although, give it 6 more months and it might be) Haim was a star before the internet and cable tv. He actually had a pretty good resume by the time he was 12. After Lost Boys and License to Drive, he needed just one more vehicle to make the jump to adult celebrity and then this:
There's a line in Entourage where Ari Gold tells E that making bad movies doesn't kill a career, passing on too many of them does. Whoever wrote that line never saw this movie. The sad thing is that if he had stayed sober, you cant tell me that he wouldn't have gotten back in the game. Ton's of 80's stars get cast on nothing but nostalgia alone. Hell, even Feldman has carved out some niche of noteriety and comfortable living on having once been famous, and good for him. See ya, Corey. I hope in heaven it's 1986-1989 for you all over again.
