That’s right, it’s Greasy Sax Man, and that means Lost Boys news.
No one actually watches Lost Boys sequels (except Chodin when I pay him*), but they keep making them anyway, presumably as a way to keep Corey Feldman from making music. Anyway, here’s the plot of Lost Boys 3: The Thirst. See if you can spot the Twilight reference:
“When veteran vampire hunter Edgar Frog [Corey Feldman] finds himself destitute and almost friendless, he thinks his life has hit bottom - but wealthy vampire-romance novelist Gwen Liebling offers him a small fortune to go on the vampire hunt of a lifetime and rescue her son Peter from the Alpha Vampire D.J. Dusk. With the help of his friends Zoe, Lars and Blake, Edgar heads into a bloody battle to exterminate evil.” [via Bloody-Disgusting]
So… who wants to bet me that D.J. Dusk is an actual Disc Jockey? Anyone? Anyway, it sounds pretty bad, I know. But keep in mind it’s protecting us from this:
The Original Greasy Sax Scene: Damn, those hips don’t lie, am I right ladies and queers?
Most FilmDrunkards will probably recognize the name of Greasy Sax Dude, from the infamous opening beach scene in Lost Boys, which I’ve posted and linked to countless times. 
But up until now, few of us knew who he really was: composer, musician, and all around greasy shirtless dude Timmy Cappello. And when he wasn’t getting greased up to play sax in Lost Boys, he was getting greased up to play sax with the likes of Tina Turner, Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel, and Carly Simon. These days it seems he’s been branching out, often getting greased up to play acoustic guitar. You’ll also be glad to note that he still wears the same necklace - made of steel, just like his pecs. With any luck, he’ll soon single-handedly usher in a new era of greasy folk music.

I don’t usually do this, but after I sent Chodin a Lost Boys 2: The Tribe DVD as his Comment of the Week prize, he sent me his review. Despite the fact that it took him no less than six emails to get it properly attached, and his email address has “Tim Allen” in the title, it’s actually a pretty fine review. Anyway, without further ado, here it is, and no, I didn’t understand the picture either. -Vince
Hey, remember the time you made your copy of The Lost Boys make out with your Point Break DVD? Well guess what, asshole: they just had a f-cking baby.
The Lost Boys sequel, recently full-released on DVD, because theaters would rather burn to the ground than thread its 94 minutes through their projectors. Aptly titled Lost Boys: The Tribe, this time around we follow Victor and Thomas, two young Native American men, who don’t do shit all day except for ride around and talk about John Wayne’s teeth.

Lost Boys news means Greasy Sax Dude video. It’s the law.
Even after Corey Haim spent thousands of his own money promoting himself and filmed a “reality” show, his hopes for a movie career still seem to be tied to continuing the Lost Boys franchise, which isn’t really a franchise.
“I’ve seen the whole movie LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE], I don’t like it, to be honest with you,” Haim tells SpookyDan on the red carpet of the 6th annual Eyegore Awards. “I’m not gonna lie to you, I don’t like it as much as the first one,” he continues, “There’s HALLOWEEN 1 and 2 and then there’s 3 that has nothing to do with Michael Myers…. We went from LOST BOYS 1 to, let’s say just like a neutralized, keep it hot and fresh LOST BOYS 2, and [now we'll] hopefully go for the LOST BOYS 3 thing, which is gonna happen.”
The Lost Boys came out in 1987. 21 years later they did a direct-to-DVD sequel. It’s about as fresh as a Bangles t-shirt. Point being, can someone give this guy a GD job? If Hasselhoff still gets to be famous, Corey Haim should get something.
The trailer for Lost Boys 2: The Tribe hit the web today (high quality version here), and besides the fact that there’s not even a mention of Greasy Sax Dude, the quality of the franchise seems to have mimicked Corey Feldman’s career trajectory.
Though it’s called "The Tribe", it doesn’t seem to be about Jews at all. Hollywood’s continuing anti-semitism is truly sickening. I’m calling for a boycott. What’s that? It’s going straight to DVD? Oh. In that case… proceed.
