Two icons (and best friends) of the 80's battling it out ... who was your fav?

I preferred Corey Feldman, (he was an outstanding actor) but according to my GF at the time Corey Haim was a favourite with the girls......

Feldman. For his musical abilities

No option for "None of the above." That would have been my vote.

They had interesting childhoods, that turned them into really-screwed-up-Hollywood-former-child-stars.

Now one Corey is dead, and the other is, uh,....

The other is most likely still alive only because he has withdrawn completely into a delusional fantasy world.

 

[V-man]

probably = in good movie appearance.

Feldman was 3x the POS Haim was, but Haim outside of his true Hollywood story tragedy is about as entertaining as wallpaper. Feldman’s self parody is cringe comic gold IMO

I saw that last a few days ago.

He’s a good laugh:

Lucky bastard

Dat boy good!

Feldman, as sleezy as he is, has way more stage presence than Haim. His sleaze came off as charm in his younger years.

Feldman.....

First he steals Michael Jackson's dance moves and now he's stolen Steve Vai's signature stage move, fan included? Pfft.

I feel like people believe he doesn't actually know they watch him just to laugh at the train wreck he is - but I don't know, something tells me he knows good and well his followers are there to laugh at him, he simply doesn't care and plays a long...whatever keeps the $$$ rolling in so he doesn't have to get a real job, that's what he'll do.

 

[tallcoolone]

Well I just saw Feldman in an abalone suit so I guess he wins

 

[mirrorman]

Who? And who?

 

[Australian]

He’s entertaining. Not a great dancer like Michael jackson, but in a weird way he’s ok.

I wouldn’t give his karma to a monkey on a rock.

I think the Michael Jackson thing is much deeper than just copping some dance moves. Feldman has been trying to be a Michael clone since the late eighties/early nineties. I suspect that it stems from the two of them being fairly close friends, and Feldman likely latched onto the fact that MJ was a child star who was able to transition into adulthood without being a total trainwreck (though he did have his issues).
