He is a good example of how hairdye can make you look older, because it looks unnatural and draws attention to the parts of you that *don't* look youthful. He's five years away from 60 and, IMO, looks good for his age, but no one his age has jet black hair. And that jacket is sort of ridiculous.

When white guys get older and dye their hair, never go full black, dark brown at the darkest. Also, stick with touch of grey, it looks weird with perfectly colored hair and all those wrinkles

A monster??!! Give me a break. He’s done stupid shit of course, but he’s nowhere near a monster. Again, leave him alone.

Glittering-Rip6810@reddit

Did I stutter? I meant what I said...Yes, monster. He abuses woman, and he use to facilitate pedos by bringing his little unsuspecting friends around them. So he got money and all the gifts and extras while getting his so called friends abused. You can not believe me all you want, you are t obligated to. You don't know me and I don't know you, but I will never disrespect the victims I know, the friends I had and their stories by ever saying that man is anything other than the POS he is...because I know what I know and you don't have to validate me.

AFAIK and I and I didn't follow his career closely, he was a digital native from the very beginning. He was one of the first people who had blog that people actually read and made a living of being the embodiment of nerd culture, even before big bang theory. He is also a very good audiobook narrator, hence Feldmans comment that Wheaton is doing this for living.

Lazy copy paste from me: >In his new memoir, Coreyography, Corey Feldman details the sexual abuse he and fellow child star Corey Haim endured in Hollywood at the hands of men they worked with and considered friends. Due out Oct. 28, the book also describes years of drug abuse both he and Haim faced. [source ](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/corey-feldman-sexual-abuse_n_4136524) And since troubled kids do as troubled kids do, he's survived the following battle with addiction. I don't meant this flippant or disrespectful. I mean that addiction is not a personal flaw (it rarely is anyway) but a result of the abuse he suffered.

A favorite film I never get tired of. First saw it at a birthday slumber party in '88. Just a living room full of 7 and 8 year olds loaded with sugar and pizza, not entirely understanding everything in the movie, but feeling cool cause we're watching an R-rated film and having a laugh at all the swears, name calling, and the Lard Ass scene. After the movie, the kids who weren't scared all moved to the bathroom to try playing Bloody Mary and the rest played T&C Surf on the NES. That memory has always stuck with me for some reason😅
