In truth, I’m just bitter that a certain License to Drive broke my DVD player last year after it was sent to me by a certain libertarian blogger that shall not be named, and I’m (*cough*) certain The Coreys were behind this.
Regardless, they’re back:
Corey Feldman and Corey Haim are reuniting in the name of reality TV.
The former teen idols and RDF USA (”Wife Swap”) have teamed with cable net A&E for “The Coreys: Return of the Lost Boys,” a comedic half-hour about their lives as grownups… Episodes will follow the two after Feldman decides to welcome Haim into his home to help put his life back together.
I was always fond of Corey Haim — who is apparently “broke and homeless” now — whereas Corey “The Other Corey” Feldman seemed like a self-absorbed douchebag in The Surreal Life without the good sense to leave Hollywood altogether instead of trying to relive the glory days on a tv show aimed to humiliate D-list celebrities. Haim was taking the high road. Or so I thought.
Now young entrepreneurs Feldman and The Haimster are also featured as authors of an MSN advice column on any topic your stonewashed heart desires. Need advice from washed up 80’s heartthrobs on how to temper your Keifer Sutherland obsession? How to tightroll your jeans? Who doesn’t? Direct your attention here.
Ugh.
“Hi, you’ve reached the Corey hot-line. $4.95 a minute. Here are some words that rhyme with Corey: Gory. Story. Allegory. Montessori…”
I can’t believe people watch such tripe.
I loathe reality TV. (Except the Amazing Race, which I usually don’t watch either, but I’m a travel junkie.)
The film I always look to is not The Lost Boys but Stand By Me; four young actors appeared in it. One of them is now dead, another has a steady if unglamorous acting career, the third is a writer.. and then there’s Cory Feldman…
Oh, those Coreys! I hope that one who was trying to Ebay off his bodyparts is off the smacks.
I am experiencing fear.
You have to watch Corey Haim ‘Me, Myself, and I’. This guy can really dibble dabble at the keyboards.

The greatest of all Corey projects is Haim’s 1991 masterpiece, Prayer of the Rollerboys. I may have mentioned it before. I mention it again out of a newfound urgency that everybody must see this film, and soon. It’s got a post-apocalyptic L.A. and Patricia Arquette! This thing practically sells itself!
I always liked the Coreys, although Haim was my favorite too. However, I will agree with Geoduck that Stand By Me is the better of the two films. Plus, it had Will Wheaton and River Phoenix in it, and my 12 year old self was desperately in love with both of them.
