Corey Haim found dead at 38!

Well, Corey Haim has finally caught up with his career. 

Yet another Hollywood star (or pseudo-star in Haim's case) that has fallen to drugs.  Now we all gather and pretend that we had warm thoughts about this has-been actor.  Truth is, most people probably laughed at him for being a worn out 80's star or shook their head when they saw his bungling on the short-lived reality show with Corey Feldman. 

I don't want to be a totally cynical jerk though, so here's what I liked about Haim:

1) He was Canadian

2) The Lost Boys and Silver Bullet.  Hell, I'll even give him Licence to Drive.

Here's a quote from the actor:

"I was working on The Lost Boys (1987) when I smoked my first joint. But a year before that, I was starting to drink beer on the set of the film Lucas (1986). I lived in Los Angeles in the '80s, which was not the best place to be. I did cocaine for about a year and a half, then it led to crack. I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day - the doctors could not believe I was taking that much. And that was just the valium - I'm not talking about the other pills I went through".

Rest in Peace, Corey Haim.  I'll pretend I cared about you for the rest of the week.
