The Lost Boys 2 Is an Exercise in Semi-Celebrity Pity (Updated)

Update: Okay, so it looks like Haim is in this one, negating everything I said below. But the whole enterprise still makes me sad, as a grim, blatant reminder of the Coreys fall from fame.
If you had asked me a week ago if any movie could possibly be hurt by not starring Corey Haim...well, I'd have laughed in your face. And yet, here it is—Lost Boys 2: The Tribe—which is taking its lonely Corey Feldman-ian glory and heading straight to DVD, and that by bringing only one Corey back they've recreated that "Lost Boys magic" in any way, shape, or form. I defy you to watch the above clip and not just be sad for everyone involved—and especially sad that Corey Haim couldn't even get a role on this. Can someone put him on suicide watch, please?

Dude, don't diss the original "LB": It's one of the benchmarks of great cinema, and far exceeds designation as a mere cult classic. Long live the Frog Brothers!

I had read that they went back to shoot pick ups which were involving Mr. Haim.
