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. Read the rest of this entry »

I saw this on GorillaMask and I know it’s my partner site and all, but I thought these were cool enough to post.

Anyway, it’s a collection of the many Simpson‘s movie references with side-by-side comparison of shots from the movie referenced.  I’ve attached a couple of my favorites here, go to Neenja for the rest.

They remind of a time when references were kind of cool, before the Family Guy manatees writers decided they could take the place of actual jokes.  I have to say though, if you’re gonna do a Lost Boys reference, its should be required by law that it involve Greasy Sax Man.  Squibbity Blabbity Doo!

As far as Lost Boys 2 is concerned, all month it's been Corey Haim's in, Corey Haim's out, Corey Haim's in.  Obviously it doesn't matter, because without greasy sax dude they hardly have a movie.  

Regardless, after Haim apparently got high off his ass on painkillers and ripped (I guess?) Feldman in the above video, Feldman released the following statement to MTV:

“I feel that I need to address some of the statements that have been made in reference to Corey Haim’s and my friendship and his participation in ‘Lost Boys 2 – The Tribe.’ I have always considered Corey Haim a brother and dear friend and have always been there for him. Although I am deeply saddened that he has decided not to participate in ‘Lost Boys 2,’ it was strictly his decision. For the record, I was not willing to go forward with any production or deal until I was assured that Corey Haim was onboard. I received confirmation from my representation that Haim had announced that he was officially attached to ‘Lost Boys 2.’

“After starting production in Vancouver, I learned that Haim had chosen to pull out of the project. The reasons for his decisions are his and his alone. Although I am saddened by Haim’s departure, I am enjoying working on the film and am very excited about working with my Frog Brother Jamison Newlander and to carry the torch forward. I am very proud to be part of this highly anticipated sequel for Warner Bros. and feel confident that we are making a film that the fans will welcome as a complimentary addition to the franchise.”

Warner Bros has (have?) released an official announcement about Lost Boys 2 that mentions damn near everything about the movie without mentioning Corey Haim at all.  

Subtle references to characters from the original film, and cameos from returning actors offer homage to the Lost Boys legend and set a sinister tone of impending doom.

Really? We're putting script notes in the production announcements now?  Anyway, it's looking likely that last week's rumor about Haim being off the project is turning out to be true.

And honestly, this is a travesty.  Superbad, 3:10 to Yuma, Shoot Em Up – how much Haim-free bullshit do we the movie-going public have to suffer through this year? And for what, "visa issues"?  Today, I'm ashamed to be an American.  This is worse than Abu-Ghraib.  I'd rather see 10 naked Arab pyramids than have to suffer through another year without Haim.  For shame.  For s-haim.  

Yesterday I brought you some news about the uncertainty of Corey Haim's place in Lost Boys 2.  Today, thanks to a certain sexy Canuck reader, we have an update:

Haim wasn't actually originally booked for the Lost Boys sequel, but when the production company found out about their show, they changed their mind.  

Makes sense, that's the only way they're getting any publicity for this turd. It was originally planned as direct-to-DVD, and I haven't heard anyone saying that's not still the case.

The Corey's are actually pretty sweet guys. When they were shooting in Vancouver they went to the Denny's on Burrard every single night around 1 am so they could plan their next day of shooting. And MTV is totally wrong about the immigration thing. It makes zero sense, considering Haim is Canadian… and again, just finished shooting his show in Vancouver. And Haim's manager is a dude. His name is Andre. He's big, black, scary, and awesome.

Naturally, I pictured Kimbo Slice here.  But yeah, I'd be nice too if I hadn't worked in a while.  Wait, what am I saying?  I haven't worked in months and I'm a total asshole… Call me ladies.
