However, the Charlie going today is completely detestable.<br /><br />@ Laura<br /><br />Haha, so many people loathe Charlie. I agree. If not for his lucky family legacy, he'd probably never be a recognizable name.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-5950367662597729282011-02-21T11:16:13.395-05:002011-02-21T11:16:13.395-05:00I despise Charlie Sheen.

Good assessment. <br /><br />Yeah I heard that same account. In fact, that kid may be the highest paid kid TV actor ever. And I don't think he is that memorable or talented. It's just he fits the quirky nature of the show so perfectly. And he balances out the craziness of Sheen.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-16570313803594571962011-02-20T12:11:07.141-05:002011-02-20T12:11:07.141-05:00@ Wendy
I really appreciate your kind thoughts :)...@ Wendy<br /><br />I really appreciate your kind thoughts :)<br />You're a great comment contributor!<br /><br />And touche. If not for such bizarre actions, then who would I mock? Let it be known. As much as I deride Sheen, I actually dug some of his work: Platoon, Major League, Wall Street, and a few others. Just because an actor's personal life is in shambles doesn't mean they still can't be competent performers. <br /><br />@ Melissa<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Great point. There is a long lineage of abhorrent celebrity behavior. I could have easily dissected Sheen's exploits by incorporating some of the precursors who blazed this dubious path. But I wanted to maintain a contemporary arc. Plus Sheen's behavior has remained troublesome throughout his career. <br /><br />It seems as if Robert Downey Jr. finally curbed his addictions. And, as the movie going public, it's good news for us. He is an excellent actor.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-31741740048478450612011-02-20T05:16:34.447-05:002011-02-20T05:16:34.447-05:00$2 million is a truly ridiculous salary per episod...$2 million is a truly ridiculous salary per episode for someone who looks so creepy and for a show that is so awful.<br /><br />i heard the kid is the highest paying "child star" on tv, too. please, don't get better sheen. let the show that kept you going die, please.jonwintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568182174919940595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-1257436409170778462011-02-20T02:31:10.297-05:002011-02-20T02:31:10.297-05:00Charlie will never be completely recovered..and hi...Charlie will never be completely recovered..and his attitude proves it..he said “can’t a guy just have a good time” he loves drugs and hookers..and, just like Lohan, he will be back in rehab soon after he is out of rehab.Jaccstevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268227476649183171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-1701982994431976542011-02-19T23:44:54.828-05:002011-02-19T23:44:54.828-05:00Charlie is simply the latest incarnation in a very...Charlie is simply the latest incarnation in a very long line of atrocious Hollywood excess that goes back to the silent era. I shake my head anymore at the things he does because it's all been done before. Robert Downey, Jr., Ryan O'Neill, the Rat Pack, Errol Flynn... Now here's a guy who managed to get himself charged with statutory rape and have people, like William F. Buckley, Jr. form a group in support of him-- American Boys Club For the Defense of Errol Flynn. No wonder they coined the phrase "in like Flynn."<br /><br />Interesting and thought-provoking post as always.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-50967569287603924312011-02-19T21:02:43.306-05:002011-02-19T21:02:43.306-05:00By the way, I've just noticed you're only ...By the way, I've just noticed you're only 25yrs old.

The 'Rat Pack' springs to mind. Their behaviour was just as infamously inappropriate in their day, I'm sure. The internet just brings it to our attention.<br /><br />Love, or hate the likes of Charlie Sheen, these idiots tote much hilarity for us commoners and fodder for the media. After all, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be reading your blog now would I? :)Just Wendy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05268645629027109282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-13456058402538537722011-02-19T19:52:03.312-05:002011-02-19T19:52:03.312-05:00You're exactly right, Dezmond.

It is a bleak outlook—if the following generations become imprints of Sheen and Lohan, etc—but the level of attention paid towards these headcases definitely does not help. As souring a thought as this is, the only foreseeable way it can change is if our media rich culture takes its foot off the gas pedal. They need to stop devoting hours of coverage to inane celebrity stories, and focus more genuine efforts on philanthropic causes, etc.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-53049936082382699722011-02-19T17:59:11.589-05:002011-02-19T17:59:11.589-05:00it's true that media and even the public allow...it's true that media and even the public allow too many undeserving people become celebrities ... one day that habit will kick us back in our respected behinds... probably the day when our kids start behaving like Mel, Charlie, Britney, Lindsay, Rihanna and other bad people.<br /><br />Speaking of Charlie, what on Earth happened to his brother Emilio Estavez?
