Day of the rope!
There's little worse than people pretending to care about a dead celebrity, so I won't pretend I cared about Corey Haim. I will, though, urge you to watch the clip above. It's from one of the great terrible movies of all time, Prayer of the Rollerboys, a description of which I'll subcontract to Wikipedia:
Corey Haim plays Griffin, a rollerblader in the not so distant future of Los Angeles which is in a sad state, the city deep in crime and drug activity in the wake of a catastrophic nation-wide economic crash caused by the previous generation. A rollerblade-wearing white supremacist youth gang named the Rollerboys fight for spiritual and economic control of the city, the fascist group founded and led by a childhood neighbour of Griffin's. The Rollerboys carry out their eugenic agenda through both violent gun battles with ethnic gangs, and especially through their distribution of the drug "mist".
It's even more ridiculous than this makes it sound and actually worth going out of your way to see if you have a sweet tooth for movies this outlandishly bad.
UPDATE: Our Los Angeles constituents can actually see this flick in the theater a week from this Saturday and I can't say I wouldn't recommend it.
