    I haven't seen/heard any of his meltdown interviews yet. but after listening to the sound clips here I don't think I would be able to. :D
    I got tiger blood!

    He's right to demand more money. Charlie Sheen IS Two and a Half Men. Whether you like the show or not, it has a massive worldwide audience and makes a fcukton of money.

    He is what he is and is so unashamedly "out there" doing his own thing.

    Two and a half men is pretty funny too

    I like him too, and I like Two and a Half Men.

    I don't get why people all of a sudden have a problem with him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,893 ✭✭✭Hannibal Smith


    Two and a half men actually shocked me with the level of sexism in it. There was one scene showing how stupid his one night stand was the morning after, and it just made me feel sick. Apparantly its based on the director's own personal experiences in hollywood. He certainly doesn't have a high opinion of women.

    It's a comedy show not a documentary


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,893 ✭✭✭Hannibal Smith


    In fairness, he's a bit of a bollox. He doesn't really have any talent to speak of, and I don't really know why people are applauding him for "doing his own thing". The man has problems. He's not drinking and drugging to make a statement or do his own thing, he's doing it cos he's got issues. He'd wanna sort himself out. Not that I really give a sh*t about him. He's a bit of a hack.

    Also, Two and A Half Men was balls.

    Why so?

    Two and a half men is ridiculously unfunny.

    The show's basic concept:
    Charlie is a womanising drunk/ his brother is a loser/ the kid is fat and stupid. The women are bimbos/sluts.

    How is this show popular??

    The basic concept of The Simpsons: Homer is a drunk, Marge is at her wits end, Bart is stupid, Lisa is a know-it-all and Maggie is a baby, how is it so popular?

    Simple, people like it, you don't.

    haven't some of you guys an episode of entourage to catch up with? i believe its just started. Sky atlantic, home of HBO.. as if enough domestic channels worldwide werent already dedicated to american drivel :o

    I don't watch sex and the city, but Two and a Half Men annoys me beacuse they don't even attempt character development, or any kind of development. Its just the same ****e jokes drawn out over too many seasons.

    And as for the Simpsons thing, at least they attempt some complex story lines and developed meaningful relationships (in the earlier seasons anyway)

    He is living the dream in fairness.

    I honestly can't fathom how people say this and mean it! He's middle-aged, divorced and had his kids taken away because he's an abusive bully. He's off his head more often than not on some combination of booze and cocaine and he's losing a bit more of whatever shred of sanity he has each day. His seems an utterly miserable, lonely existence, and yet he is somehow labeled a "God among men" and is "living the dream." Jesus wept.

    For the record, I don't give a flying **** about Charlie Sheen, and I have watched Two and a Half Men and got a few giggles from it, but the near awe and worshiping of a clearly mentally unstable and imbalanced man is staggering. Sheer lunacy :confused:

    Instead of the complex issues of how far one man (Alan) can go to to get some kind of approval from the opposite sex after pretty much been left a broken shell of a man after both Judith and Kandi left him, as well as his abuse by his mother??

    Or why Charlie has to sleep with many women because of his complex issues from his years of abuse by his mother?

    Or how despite (this was a fairly early season) the fact that a gang of pretty hot bikini-clad girls got the attention of both Alan and Charlie, they still decided to get Jake back from their mother so he wouldn't be harmed by her vileness?

    Or how despite being a sour-face, sarcastic, bitter woman, Bertha was actually exicted to see Alan and her daughter togother?

    Yeah, I can't see the complex or meaningful things at all. :rolleyes:

    Poor oul Charlie, the last quality he produced was back in the Eighties with Wall Street and Platoon. Still, at least he's a rich waster.

    +1 If living the dream means having to pay women to spend the night with me, I'll stick with living reality.

    He is such a waster. He had a genuine chance to have a great career and he has spent his life pissing away opportunities, yet somehow always landing on his feet. It looks like it has caught up with him now. He looks dreadfully unhealthy in his latest interviews. The sad thing Charlie may actually deluded enough to think he is living the dream.

    And Charlie...talk about the perfect name.

    Does he have a care in the world? He doesn't, so to a lot of people that is the dream.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 558 ✭✭✭Metallitroll


    i had a dream, but it wasn't the dream.

    in fact 'the' dream always seemed more of a feckin nightmare, but then there's so many conflicting opinions on what the dream definitively is.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,820 ✭✭✭Dr.Winston O'Boogie


    I have to say been following this story very closely the last while and listened to all the crazy interviews etc, thinking there is no way he is clean and sober. Then I watched this and although he still seems bonkers he definitely seemed more coherant (and they mention he was clean on a drugs test). I am sure his brain is fairly fried but he does seem to be sober while doing all this.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,289 ✭✭✭parker kent


    Does he have a care in the world? He doesn't, so to a lot of people that is the dream.

    I imagine he actually has a lot of things to care about. His life, career and health seems to be crumbling around him. He is mentally falling apart in front of the world.

    Give me a link that proves he is "mentally falling apart" otherwise, you're just spouting out your opinion as fact. I honestly could be wrong and you could easily whip up a link but I don't see it happening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 558 ✭✭✭Metallitroll

    exactly.

    cough it up, else i remain with the view he is doin a poor man's joachim phoenix, which was never particularly convincing in itself. but 'unhinged' celebrity, that will keep him relevant for sure

    I think it's more of a "celebs are constantly watched for embarrassing photos, videos, etc2 and he just said "to Hell with it, I'm going on a bender". Alright, sure he might not be "normal". But in some cultures killing a man for looking at you the wrong way is normal. So is giving your life savings to a cult. It doesn't matter what we call normal. What matters is how he sees life. If he thinks his life is good then what right do you or anyone else have to rip his happiness apart? Because he's not living life how you would like?

    Oh, Metallitroll, wasn't saying "you" as in you, but more of a general "you", if you get me. :o

    Just watching the interview he did with Jeff Rossen at home, you could see the dollar signs in the eyes of the two skanks with him.
    How on earth he'd want that one near his kids i don't know.
    Thank god they were taken off him.

    Are you serious? It is not like controversy has started because he turned up to work a bit tipsy. His life has been a car crash for the last 18 months. I think constant court appearances, attacking his wife, drink and drug abuse are signs of being mentally unstable.

'wild thing' in that movie years ago? that was in the script they contributed to the ego he adopted. it's a product

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,964 ✭✭✭ToniTuddle


    i never suggested any of martin's projects were farces, like father/unlike son! other than the looks department of course.. emilio is not up to much, still plying a career in the industry daddy gave him a leg up in. i'm sure he'll make a great director.. ya never know!

    Oh I missed the "dis" part of dislike. Oops!

    Though there are countless people in the industry only through family members or being connected to someone high up.

    Hell I didn't even know Emilio was Martins son and Charlies brother until like I was a teenager due to their different surname :o

    Young Guns cemented my love for them both (plus Kiefer being in it).
    Seen an ad with Martin and Emilio talking about some new project they are workin on....they seem alot closer for many years now more so than Charlie is to them?

    I guess the mental partying lifestyle and constant sex does seem appealing only problem I have is that he is going to miss out on his kids lives. He had a second chance with the twins. He does always make a comeback though....was delighted to see him in Two and Half Men after all his previous madness.

    But he has an addiction problem that's for sure and I'd hate to see him end up like Corey Haim (or any of the other actors in similar situations over the years)....getting his life back on track and then letting the addiction take over for one last time and killing him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 558 ✭✭✭Metallitroll


    i don't like these selfish "addictive personality' types, all they do is seek out pleasure much to the detriment of those around em. selfish yet not selfish enough to care for emselves lack of common sense or the perils of the trait, or just attracted to keeping up appearances as a loose cannon, its all a bit daft.

    Haim was most certainly not cut out for the fame game, he became a lost boy for real as seen in the shadow of Corey Feldman who from what i saw can most certainly deal with it.

    Haim was most certainly not cut out for the fame game, he became a lost boy for real as seen in the shadow of Corey Feldman who from what i saw can most certainly deal with it.

    It's a bit more than addictive personality though...these are addictive substances they are taking in bucket loads.

    The majority of them on it are destructive like this for reasons they all flippin need therapists decent ones at that. Plus the one thing alot are lacking is will power or any incentive to do it.

    Drugs are like water in that world! Is it true that doctors over there get paid for each prescription they hand out so that's how some folks get such easy access to prescription drugs and end up addicted?

    With Haim he hadn't yet really reached his full potential\ he was just getting a chance too. Jaysus he was still so young! Don't even get me started on Brad Renfro :(
    Charlie on the other hand has plenty films under his belt and a massive TV show now,couple of kids and few wives. And good few comebacks from dodgy scenarios with hookers and drugs.

    Maybe he thinks he will always be able to make a comeback?
    The amount of drugs over the years and even now will definitely be messing up his brain. Alcohol alone is bad enough to mess your head nevermind adding in the serious cocktails of drugs he has taken.

    He may be having the time of his life while off his face who wouldn't! But he has to go through the comedowns and I'd say they must be some pretty dark times for him :eek:

    So you have no proof, just your wild guesses at his mental health? Have you personally diagnosed him and are his psychologist?

    Why do you think he was in rehab? Because they have nice beds? Or maybe it is because he has mental issues that manifest themselves in addictive, destructive and dangerous behaviour? It is not conjecture, it is on the public record that he has been in rehab numerous times. You don't end up in rehab for no reason. You don't get admitted to hospital after a week long bender and be perfectly OK. You don't get arrested for putting a knife to your wifes neck and be perfectly OK.

    Saying things like "Have you personally diagnosed him" is pointless. Surely being admitted to rehab numerous times is proof of a mental issue? Surely the unending shít that is coming out of his mouth is proof of mental issues?Recording of Two and a Half Men has been suspended several times due to his issues. I don't have to trawl the internet to find links (links that you will probably ignore) to prove this. It should be common knowledge. I will give one link though, and that is to the criminal complaint provided after his attack on his wife. Anybody that is involved in an incident like that has to have their mental health called into question.

    Again, do you have proof he is "mentally falling apart"? Posting about things we all know doesn't change it. A mental issue can mean many things, doesn't mean he's "mentally falling apart".

    Oh your link didn't say he admitted to it. I can be charged with treason but I could be innocent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭gargleblaster


    oh come on. he shot his first wife by accident, after which she left him.

    he threatened his next wife and then she left him too.

    then he threatened the most recent one and you're sayign maybe he didn't? sure there's a chance he didn't but that chance is extremely slim.

    i'm not sure why anyone would doubt her claim. look at what he's been saying in interviews. he enjoys threatening and bullying.
