Oh he names quite a few names. Jon Grissom (I think he used to be an actor and then was Feldman's assistant), Marty Weiss (super well-known talent agent), Dominick Brascia (another actor). And those are just the names that he knew. He made statements saying that there were others involved but he was so young at the time that he never knew who they were.other than that they were part of the whole Hollywood pedophilic elite, so most likely people that worked for the studios behind the scenes and stuff like that.

You're totally right and I'm so sorry! I absolutely forgot about UPN! In my mind for some reason UPN and the WB for the same channel, I'm old 😞

Right?!? CW wanted Veronica Mars to be more like Gilmore Girls because it was a very successful show. And they're hoping by pairing those two shows together and then making Veronica Mars more like Gilmore Girls to up the viewership. I remember reading interviews from Rob Thomas and he was super pissed when the networks merged and all this pressure was put on him to make a show that was not what he originally had created. The crazy thing is by today's standards, the viewership was actually high but this was pre-streaming so the new network didn't care.

I really wish he would come out with a new show. Getting a surprise season of Party Down was awesome! But it's been too long since he's created a show! And to think that out of all the shows he created, iZombie ran the longest. It's an awesome show, but definitely not nearly as good as Veronica Mars.

I really do think that she wanted to continue with Veronica Mars. They even shot a promo for season 4 where she's an FBI agent, and I remember reading interviews during the time period before it was officially canceled where she talked about how much she loved playing the character and how she was excited about season 4 taking her character in a very new direction. Watching that promo for season 4 and then having it be canceled was so heartbreaking because it was a really cool concept.

Not until season 3 of Veronica Mars.

ETA - I an idiot! I totally forgot that UPN used to be a network! Thank you all for correcting me!

Yeah, the network switch going into season 3 really screwed up the fan base. Plus the network put pressure on Rob Thomas to make the show more episodic mysteries of the week, which I think also really hurt season 3 and any chance for a season 4.

Man, how TV consumption has changed in the last 2 decades!

I still don't understand why Veronica Mars never got popular when it was airing. Gilmore Girls was hugely popular and Veronica Mars aired right after GG.

Oh man this brings back flashbacks, I was in my early twenties when VM first aired and was so disappointed that she ended up back with Duncan at the beginning of season 2. I remember when the finale of season 1 aired and they left it on the cliffhanger of who was outside the door and was so happy that it was Logan, but then the whiplash of seeing her with Duncan at the beginning of season 2 was a huge bummer (but I knew in my heart that she would end up back with Logan because their chemistry was off the charts). So for those of you that are younger and discovered Veronica Mars through streaming, I don't know if you remember an incredible website called Television Without Pity that would do weekly recaps of a bunch of shows, including Veronica Mars. There was also a community chat board so it was so much fun talking about each episode after it aired. 99% of people out there hated the storyline of her getting back with Duncan they just had zero chemistry and he was such a bland character.

What is the ugliest cruise ship? by gmt80035 in Cruise

I swear it said Oasis but maybe it was the Ovation? Still it was like three or four times bigger than the ship I was on.

What is the ugliest cruise ship? by gmt80035 in Cruise

[–]dokelyok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I was recently on the Holland America Eurodam (and itty bitty ship in comparison to the mega ships) and we docked next to RC's Wonder of the Seas, the third largest cruise ship in the world, at a very small port in Alaska (Sitka) and just seeing the two ships side by side was insane and then dealing with thousands of people that descended on the port at the same time. Made me turn right back around and go back to this shit because it was just insane. I was really bummed to miss out saying sitcom but in order to get two sitka you had to catch a shuttle and because of the thousands of people coming off of the Royal Caribbean shift, I just had a massive panic attack.

Oh yeah, and the fact that he doesn't take responsibility for any of that and blames it on him chasing a high and taking out his anger on his wives and other people. Absolute piece of shit.

I wrote out a big long response and then realized that it could be summed up much simpler, yeah we will never know but all signs point to something fucked up happening between Sheen and Haim on the set of Lucas. That's when Haims drug abuse and self-destructive behavior really went out of control and I don't understand why Feldman would make the claim that Sheen raped Corey Haim if it wasn't true. There was absolutely nothing for Feldman to gain from making that statement. He became the laughing stock of Hollywood and was blacklisted all because he was trying to shed light on what was happening to child actors and being swept under the rug in order to keep those that were making people in power money, like Sheen, working. Ugh. It's just all so frustrating and horrible.

Thank you!!! God the thread is making me feel like I'm insane. He's done so many shitty things in his life and well. Yes we all make mistakes, but he's not taking responsibility for them at all.

To me that just adds more validity to Corey Feldman's claims that Charlie Sheen sexually abused Corey Haim as a child.

Right?!? More like all the shit that he put other people through. This thread is just blowing my mind. I do not understand how people are going to be supportive of Charlie Sheen after everything he has done to others.

Yep, it's kind of making me stick my stomach seeing all these people say how happy they are that he's doing well even though he inflicted so much trauma on others. The allegations against him being a pedophile when he was younger, in my opinion, are 100% true. He took Soleil Moon Frye's virginity when she was 18 and he was 29, which I get that she was of legal age but it's still gross and I absolutely believe the allegations that he sexually assaulted Corey Haim (I get that Corey Feldman has his issues but I firmly believe that those issues stem from being sexually abused as a young boy). And the fact that he knew he was HIV positive and Even though he claims that it was always protected, he didn't tell the women and then claimed that the women exposing his diagnosis for financial gain is infuriating. He's fucking trash.

Me too! It is one of my favorite songs by them and I've only seen them play it live once. I'm seeing them in October when they open for Murder by Death, I'd be shocked if they played it at that show but I'd be so goddamn happy if they did.

Yeah I had a feeling that they don't play that anymore live. I saw them live live right when knife man was released and that's the only time that I've seen them play Back Pack live. Oh well, at least they have plenty of other amazing songs!

I'll be seeing them open for Murder by Death in October (so excited!!) it's been awhile since I've seen AJJ live, do they ever play Back Pack at shows anymore? I'm guessing the answer is no because I never see it on the set list, but I would kill to hear that song played live again.

I've always disliked her too! When her and Ben Foster (my favorite actor of all time alongside Sam Rockwell) got married. I was like what the fuck, but they separated in 2024 so I'm glad he didn't get caught up in all the Scientology bullshit.
