1] That's all sorts of messed up.

2] I guess the Coreys aren't a fan of CLOWNHOUSE

A Hollywood mogul? Hmm.. any guesses? Louis B. Mayer?

What happened to Corey Feldman is the exact reason why I list "Not raping me" as one of the job duties when hiring an assistant.

So... Hollywood is a lot like the Catholic Church? That's fucked up.

People are surprised by this?  You hear stories all the time about pedos posing as agents and whatnot to lure children and their dumbass stage parents.  Makes sense to me that there are actually legit pedo agents.

If there were ever an actor whose words carry little weight. I seriously doubt this. I know it happens, but I'm pretty sure there are much more rampant and worse things.

I have done extensive research using all the means modern science could provide me and I've come to a startling conclusion. Pedophiles in Hollywood are the exact same percentage as in the rest of the world. Shocking, I know.

When I saw the title of this thread my first thought was: well he was friends with Michael Jackson.

But Hollywood probably has a bigger percentage of hopeful parents willing to put their children at risk for fame.

That certainly goes without saying. But that is a broader cultural problem rather than something endemic to Hollywood. I'm certain there are quite a few people that have pimped themselves, their significant others or their children to get something. And I'm not talking just drugs and the like.

Well, let's be honest here, people. Who among us wouldn't have sucked a dick or two to be in The Goonies?

Sure, but Hollywood's the "Magic Store"! Now I wonder what Kermit really had to do to get that standard "Rich & Famous" contract from Orson W. Probably had to deep-fry Gonzo's harem.

Where do you think the Truffle Shuffle came from?  That was foreplay.

Not to derail, but this band is my only problem with The Lost Boys. That band looks and sounds like someone who knows nothing about rock n roll idea of a rock band. The movie was shot in Santa Cruz. I'm assuming a town that makes skate boards would have a punk scene. I'm by no means a punker, but a punk band would fit in that scene.
 

Don't you fucking dare question hypnotic shirtless saxophone player! Because I will track you down and kill you over something like that!

It's so hypnotic..

Even though I know it's completely incongrous, those kids should have been listening to Black Flag or Bad Religion , I absolutely kind of adore that Tim Cappello song. Even though it shouldn't work, I always thought it kind of did. Even if the audience seems to be listening to some completely different band.
 

ETA: Apparently I also have a Cappello radar or something, because I have literally no idea why I originally came into this thread. I obviously sensed that Cappello's good name was in danger.

Are you forgetting the flick was directed by Joel "Bat Nipples and Neon" Schumacher?

But greasy shirtless saxman is "80s awesome" all the same, I say. I still believe.
 

I was wondering when Sergio would pop up. The Lost Boys->Shirtless Sax Guy->Sergio is written in the internet constitution.

That is the 5th amendment of the internet constitution. The first amendment is: Anyone who disagrees with you shall be compared to Hitler.

I didn't mean to derail the thread, but since I did; I want give Schumacher credit for making the vampires in The Lost Boys older. In the original script the vampires were in their early teens.

Off topic, but do you know who used to say Nazis and Nazism the same way? Not in accent but in infection? Winston Churchill. 

To put things back on topic, the latest Rolling Stone has a great story on priest molestations in the Philadelphia area.

He should have heeded the warning shot that was the death of the other Corey, because these two gentlemen...

...didn't amass billion dollar fortunes and personally train with the Sayeret Matkal to get fucked over by the guy who was in Dream a Little Dream.

A tell-all book? Howbout just calling the authorities?

And that article also revealed that he plans on ice-moonwalking to Billie Jean in UK's "Skating with the Stars". LOL

So he likes Michael Jackson now? At his last trial he testified against him saying Michael showed him porn or something.

There's something deeply horrible that goes on with the furtive desire for stage parents to get their kids into movies and TV.  There's an entire industry built around it and corporate apartment complexes where parents bring their kids to stay during pilot season, where they take acting/music/singing lessons.  You can't go to a mall with a child without being hounded by professed scouts.  This atmosphere is toxic for kids, and Corey Feldman should know, having spent his entire childhood in the business.  He's a victim, and I'm glad he's talking about it.  There's no shortage of stories of child actors that crash and burn post-adolescence.  Unless a kid has strong parents with an innate moral compass, a kid can get exploited in the worst way, and a lot of the parents drawn like moths to Hollywood are not strong enough to resist giving their children over to people who promise to make them stars.  I have no doubt that pedophilia happens on every level of the ladder, but is probably most rampant on the lower rungs.

When I was a young'un I probably would have liked some older dude who showed me porn.  Until he tried to touch me, at which point I would viciously macerate his nutsack with whatever blunt or sharp or jagged object was nearby.

You'd sprinkle sugar on his balls and let them soften in their own juices?

I'm normally supportive of people who come out to expose abuse, but this being Corey Feldman, I can't shake the feeling that you might be giving him too much credit. I strongly suspect that if Feldman still had a career to speak of, we wouldn't be hearing about this, but I suppose there are a few ways to look at that, as he's now more or less a dude with little to nothing to lose. It's all some seriously sad and skeevy shit. We'll see

But would you then testify against him and then show up at his funeral and then do one of his signature dances? It feels like he threw Michael Jackson under the bus during the trial for publicity and then once he died and it became popular to like him again he flipped back to honoring him. 

Don't get me wrong I think Michael Jackson was a pedophile and im not the least bit sorry he is dead but it seems so creepy and wrong to take advantage of a molestation trial that way. But it makes sense, I always got a weird fucked up vibe off that dude. He did the Adam Carolla radio show a few years back and after he left they said they all got a "dark" feeling from him even though he seemed perfectly nice.

Good post.  I know this may sound strange, but in the past few years, I've hated seeing kids in movies because I know what they have to go through to be there.  It's a terrible thing to put a child through, unless they're seriously having fun it's something they absolutely want as a career...but most of them probably don't and are being put through this because of lazy parents who see the talented kid as a meal ticket.

And honestly I think Haim's death really affected Feldman and he just doesn't care anymore.  Good for him trying to bring a little justice into the world.

I get the sense that a lot of people who experience abuse/exploitation as young actors are broken inside.  If you talk to molestation victims, many of them feel so sullied, so compromised in their deepest core they can never be truly authentic around "normal" people.  Corey Feldman is f*cked up without a doubt, as was Corey Haim, as was Jonathan Brandis, as was Rodney Harvey, as was Dana Plato, going all the way back to Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer and Bobby Driscoll.  Even experiencing the unreal wash of fame at a young age--going to parties to play cute for "important people" and having grownups kiss your ass and try to get things out of you--then becoming has-beens by puberty must just trample a psyche, and so many of them end up strung out by their teens, Drew Barrymore, Eddie Furlong.  I don't think it's fair to judge people who've been through extreme experiences in the same way you'd judge people with a "normal" childhood.  Of course he's different in a weird/bad way.  I don't think that automatically means he's lying about this.

I feel the same way, but some child actors turn out OK and the difference seems to be strong parents who will shelter their kids from exploitation and give them normal boundaries and responsibilities, chores, school, no grownup parties.  Some are also just innately stronger people and get through it intact, like Brooke Shields, Jodie Foster, Natalie Portman, etc.  But there really should be stronger welfare laws for kids in "the business" to protect them from their own parents and the disgusting people that exploit them.   I don't think shows like Toddlers & Tiaras, Dance Moms and 16 and Pregnant should be allowed on the air either. 

And, yeah, I think Corey Feldman is doing the right thing.
