Really, was there any other possible outcome? Sure it was entertaining to see him rant in an interview for 5-10 minutes, edited and produced by professionals, but how does that translate into a live performance where a narcissistic addict talks about himself onstage for 90 minutes?
Not a chance in hell. Belushi was loved til the day he died, and continues to be loved to this day. Belushi was never as arrogant and sociopathic as Sheen. Comparing the two does Belushi a disservice.
Seems the Chicago version went much better, but then we've had Daley for mayor and Blago for gov, so Sheen must seem like a stable genius in comparison.
To his credit, Sheen did tweek his act. Now the losers are those paying $48 and up to sit through this idiotic routine.
Yep. Tickets were sold because he's been making a spectacle of himself lately, as far as I'm concerned he performed as advertised.
^ I agree. What did these people expect? An hour long polished Jerry Seinfield performance? They got the Sheen experience.
Yay! The mentally ill guy fucked up again! Haven't you people got anything better to pay attention to pompously jeer at celebrities who are crashing and burning? There seems to be a whole industry of this stuff... ...Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen... Pretty sickening.
When you essentially beg for attention, you'd better be prepared to take the fallout of marked failure. I try to stay out of the lives of celebrities until they do what Sheen has done and brag about how supposedly impenetrable they are simply BECAUSE they're "famous."
Nobody was complaining when the "mentally ill guy" was making millions by entertaining millions in his hit sit-com. It's a tabloid world right now, and nowhere is that more evident than in what currently passes for political discourse There is, and it is very profitable because we all love dirty laundry. Based on allegations alone, Michael Jackson doesn't belong in that group. BTW - "The mentally ill guy fucked up again!" is an apt description for many a political thread
I'm not jeering. Deranged, megalomaniacal addicts are among the few genuine examples of humanity left in the world. The human race looks at Charlie Sheen and sees itself staring back, minus the veneer of moderation and politeness that's all we have to let us pretend that same self-destructive chaos isn't waiting to chest-burst out of us all.
