Hate to be crass but…he was still alive? Seriously, I could’ve sworn he OD’d years ago. ---

He really should have moved away from Santa Carla a long time ago. ---

Death by Stereo. This saddens me. No, he was never a great actor, but his movies were a large part of my young adulthood. ---

Man, Lucas long has been a fave of mine, as it was shot in my current hometown. The movie theater, tennis courts, and high school are all along my daily walk to and from the train. Gonna have to recommend that the Glen host a retrospective. Come to think of it, watching that movie is the only time I’ve ever seen all of the lights on that marquee working… ---

I know he was a mess, but I was kind of hoping he would pull it together at some point. Who would have ever thought it would be Feldman who made it longer? ---

This was obviously the fault of that “other” Corey who made fun of him on the two Corys(sp??) TV Show 🙂 Seriously did this come as a shock to anyone? It’s a shame that he couldn’t help himself. I would bet, even though he wasn’t doing much acting lately, he could’ve afforded a decent rehab place. It’ll be interesting to see what he OD’d on and maybe his death will help someone stop doing the same drug ---

I think anyone who saw _The Two Coreys_ knew Feldman had his shit together and that Haim was pretty much on the waiting list for death. ---

Weird. I lost track of him after License To Drive. Didn’t realize he was such a hot mess. RIP, Cory #1. ---
