Oh, Corey....

Wayyyyy back in the "New Video" days, I remember an older couple who used to come in. They had an apartment in an old Brownstone somewhere in the neighborhood. The only reason I remember this sweet, late 50something jewish couple was because of how proud they were about their neighbor. Come to think of it, he might have been a nephew. It was one or the other, this was, after all, 1985.
Why were they so proud? Because this nephew or neighbor had just gotten a starring role in a quirky little movie called "Lucas".
When we all saw the movie we recognized two things. Corey was really good, heartwarming and sweet. And Charlie Sheen was going to be a star.

The latter proved to be a lasting truth.

Corey on the other hand.....

Using the .tv domain is being a bit optimistic, I think.
