All I know is if he doesn’t change, he will die alone.
I try to compare Charlie Sheen to Robert Downey, Jr. Why was Downey able to get his life turned around. I think it was because, even when Downey was as one of his movie titles was called, “Less Than Zero,” he still cared about some things, and that was what ultimately lifted him out.
Charlie, on the other hand, only cares about himself. There’s nothing there for him to grab onto to lift him out.
Charlie should have listened carefully to the words that Hal Holbrook told him in “Wall Street”, ‘Man looks in the abyss, there’s nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.’
The nation couldn’t be any poorer in any spirit with the loss of one tv show. Talent? That’s subjective here. In my opinion there hasn’t been talent on tv since “The Carol Burnett Show’’ and “Barney Miller’’. Want to clean this mess up? Require drug-testing for everyone, and I mean everyone involved in tv production with the stars first on the list.
Good Grief. . .not to be confused with ‘Cindy’. . .that is Sheen. . .of course! Still, some Irish influence, no doubt.
>’’drug-addled’’ and ‘’productive’’.< Madame/Mademoiselle(?) think for a moment. Can any two words meaning two entirely different and opposite concepts exist in the same paragraph? Sheen’s honest about who and what he is. Is he moral? The moment he involves some innocent who had nothing to do with what he’s doing to himself he isn’t. Everyone has the right to be stupid. Or over-indulge. CBS has a right to protect itself from what Sheen’s doing to himself because it will affect their bottom line. In the meantime the rest of us don’t have to watch Charlie soil himself.
Actually, by the standards of Hollywood, that is hard to believe.
I was hoping they'd revive this show just so we could watch Charlie battle it out with Axl Rose...
On this level I completely agree with you. But as a capitalist, selling what the customers want in the marketplace, as long as Charlie has his name on contracts that other people count on I judge him responsible for carry out his part of the contract and those people have a right to care whether he does or even can or cannot carry out his duties. That is what I was talking about in answer to your question.
Well, Daddy's proud of him...
It is beyond the shadow of a doubt that Charlie and his daddy’s leftwing ideology, values, and morals are what ruined what should have been a Stellar acting career.
"Loved you in 'Wall Street.'"
He was genuinely funny in Hot Shots.
Can't they settle this in a civilized fashion like gentlemen (or gentle-half-men) on the field of honor?
Say vodka, cocaine, and hookers at fifty paces?

I don’t care a whit about Charlie Sheen. But if he’s declared war on CBS, he can’t be all bad.
I read about Robert Downey Jr.’s recovery - he said that quitting wasn’t hard, it was deciding to quit that was hard. It seems that Charlie hasn’t decided that he really wants to quit. Downey is a good example of someone who did.
Remember the left mantra ,"Bush let it happen" .... Sheen is actually demanding answers from the Obamamessiah.
And frankly, when no answers are forthcoming, the lad may even become a conservative ... he has the basics,i.e., likes women, enjoys life, asks questions, works hard (sit-com work is not as easy as it looks .
Rough edges?
ya, we are all a work in progress.
“I try to compare Charlie Sheen to Robert Downey, Jr.”
Yep. People still like Downey(mostly women). Both are exremely talented but selfishness and self seeking behaviors are what makes or breaks people. But on the bright side, people can get there act together. Ie- Tiger and Mike Vick.
