#coreyography

[schiavonaintherye]

If I had a quid for every time I hyperfixated on an old ish movie, and started following the instagram of the actor who plays the unhinged strange guy... only to fall down a rabbit hole that involves a complicated history with a prosthetic ear, wifebeating allegations, lots of weed, actually doing some really nice and wholesome charity work, releasing lots of art about his traumatic childhood, and very weird instagram captions...

which ends in me being torn whether or not I should buy his book because I have a love-hate relationship with the guy in general...

I'd have.. £2

Which isn't a lot, but how the fuck did this happen again???

Coreyography

By, Corey Feldman

💎💎💎💎 4 Diamond Read

Corey Feldman's memoir, "Coreyography," is a captivating and honest journey through the highs and lows of his life. The narration is by him. He is a very entertaining narrator. I actually think I would like to listen to him as a narrator of fiction audio books. The book sheds light on the tumultuous experiences of a child star but also serves as a compelling testament to the strength of the human spirit.

" Coreyography " is an authentic memoir with which Corey Feldman bares his soul. From the challenges of early fame to the dark corners of Hollywood, Feldman fearlessly addresses his struggles, triumphs, and the harsh realities of the entertainment industry. Feldman’s candid narration is woven into every page creating a genuine connection between the author and the reader, making the memoir a powerful and relatable journey.

Feldman talks about his passions and his flaws. He talks about his good intentions that have ended in broken promises. I feel like he never truly felt like he belonged and he may have always felt like an outsider looking in. He has had a lot of self doubt and tried to compensate anyway he could. We see him grow and mature as a person, from succumbing to his experiences growing up with an addicted mother falling into her habits to owning his mistakes and bad choices, striving to learn and be a better man and father for his own child.

The memoir's narrative structure offers readers a multifaceted view of Feldman's life. The dance metaphor is not merely a title but a guiding principle that adds a unique and engaging layer to the storytelling. Each chapter unfolds like a carefully crafted dance routine, revealing the intricate steps of Feldman's life with precision and flair.

There are certain aspects of his book when he talks about people he has known, such as Michael Jackson and Corey Haim where his feelings and emotion really bubble forward. These are two people he really loved in his life and that’s very evident.

One of the most remarkable aspects of " Coreyography " is Feldman's commitment to self-reflection and the pursuit of redemption. The memoir not only highlights the darker periods of his life but also serves as a platform for self-discovery and personal growth. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-awareness, making it a compelling and inspiring read.

Beyond the personal narrative, his memoir stands out for Feldman's courageous advocacy for change within the entertainment industry. He fearlessly addresses the issues of abuse and exploitation, shedding light on the shadows that often accompany fame. This advocacy adds a layer of social relevance to the memoir, elevating it from a personal story to a broader call for accountability and change.

In conclusion, " Coreyography " is a tour de force memoir that deserves its four diamonds for its raw authenticity, compelling narrative structure, commitment to reflection and redemption, and courageous advocacy. Corey Feldman's journey is not just a dance through his own life but a profound exploration of the human experience, making this memoir a must-read for anyone seeking insight into the complexities of fame, personal growth, and societal change.

Two weeks since the gross prophets digital ticket came out so everyone tell me your favourite parts I’ll go first

Literally all of the music. I said this to Ali but, my favourite score of any show?? Perhaps?? It’s SO catchy but I’m never annoyed about it being in my head (even when I’ve had “ladder ladder ladder” looping in my head). And I love the play with different genres and especially for the solos they fit the characters so perfectly. And their voices are all in peak form singing it. I do think there’s the perfect number of songs for this show but I also wish I had more to listen to

It’s very fun too that the songs are mostly diegetic, like they went “this is how we convince people”

The Coreyography is so fun and silly and ALSO catchy, and it’s really fun having people join in for The Fine Print (I still do it every time I watch it, my national anthem fr)

I OBVIOUSLY love that it’s a cast of just Joey Lauren and Brian and that it’s a show that really lets them play with these characters. The dynamic between them is so fun too, it’s kind of giving throuple but at the same time they can’t stand each other and April-May has no interest in these men but Todd absolutely has a crush on her

The costumes. They’re all perfect but Lauren looks hot af god is a woman

The use of slides is so silly and perfect

And the tech!! Getting to give chuds was really fun and they did always make any technical difficulties very entertaining too. And the competition element is really fun (I keep saying fun I know but this show IS the most fun)

As terrified as I was to begin without about the interactive element lmao the way they do it is so fun, they can all work a crowd

Singular rotted tooth (love you Eshhmurelda)

The unison when they’re answering questions about the product, I’m still legitimately impressed that they had like a 95% success rate in saying the same thing at the same time

How aggressively Brian plays Bachman

The Lauren “I don’t want to be here” take on choreo (love you Emma Perkins)

He’ll always try to find a way but because of the improv, the lines Joey can throw in to try to make Lauren break

We know I love The Fine Print but also specifically the ending which I will admit even though I watched the virtual backer rehearsal MULTIPLE times, did not click for me until the first live show god bless but Ali really did a good job

Lauren “heart eyes” Lopez-Richter at Joey doing his Australian accent, babe you’re onstage. Not a drop of April-May in her in that moment

But speaking of the accent, all the little adaptations to where they’re performing the show, Lauren’s currency jokes and “do any of you know any of these businesses?”

April-May obsessed with her girls (I know what you are). In real life I would hate her but in this show she is mine and @seasonofaprilmayjune’s wife I love her so much. And love the accent

🎶It’s a woman’s world🎶

Lauren’s delivery of “The M is silent”

All the spins but also the kick

Joey’s face when Lauren messes up saying chuds and her laughing when he does it

“2020 that was a good year” “I don’t think it was”

You wouldn’t know from the digital ticket but the fake slides in Todd’s presentation changed every show and I like to think Joey really didn’t know what the pictures would be

The lighting gag in Todd’s song

Joey trying to mute the call during The Decision

Different endings!! I think we got 4/6 in Australia? (escaped the one where Todd asked April-May to marry him). I’m really glad they put both endings they filmed on the digital ticket

“You were supposed to be working on the choreo for my number”

The show didn’t go where I expected it to from what they’d first talked about (and I love that! What it ended up being is perfect) but I do really like the social commentary in the ladder song looping back to the first song, and how these characters have bought into this lifestyle so hard they have to keep going. And existential crisis of it aside it’s a really fun song I love it so much

And really love Lauren laughing into her line because of Joey

And because it is a show that’s relatively easy for them to travel with I can’t wait to see more of it in future athem 🙏

Number 6 “Coreyography” by Corey Feldman With the news of his tell all doc dropping in March I got swept up in curiosity. All I can say is that there were so many times in this book that I wish I could have reached out and given him a hug and if you know me at all you know I don’t give those away lightly. The road has been long and rough but I’m glad to see Corey triumph. He seems like a genuine soul.

PART THREE.

“SO THIS IS WHAT IT IS !

Corey Feldman didn’t remember it then, but realizes it now that it was the police who raised the name of Jon Grissom and that it was this pedophile who shared with them his valuable views on Corey’s friendship with Michael Jackson.

And surely his story wasn’t anything favorable to Michael. Sergeant Deborah Linden misinterpreted Corey’s silence imagining that she “hit a sore point” and laughed, as if thinking that she caught him off his guard and now Corey would not be able to deny anything.

And she was so engrossed in her own preconceptions about Jackson that she didn’t even realize that it was totally abnormal for a teenager’s assistant to be “jealous” of him, and that all the questions she was asking about MJ should have been asked about Grissom instead.

What was the reaction of Sgt. Deborah Linden when she heard that Corey was only fifteen at the time Grissom molested him?

She said: “We are not asking you to tell us about it”.

And why wasn’t she asking?

The obvious answer to that is not what you thought (that she wanted to spare Corey’s feelings) – nothing of the kind. There was no sympathy for Corey and his sore wounds. They continued to relentlessly grill him over Jackson and even after making the unpleasant discovery about Grissom Sgt. Deborah Linden simply laughed the matter off. So the reason they didn’t ask is because they didn’t want to hear it as they were on the hunt for Michael Jackson only.

However if the police had asked Corey they would have learned some very interesting details – for example, about the circumstances under which the boy turned to Michael Jackson for help.

By that moment he had already known Michael for a long time, but he grew much closer to him when his life became totally unbearable. This moment was again incorrectly interpreted by Sgt. Deborah Linden as the time when “Michael Jackson started paying a lot of attention to Corey” meaning something sinister, while in fact it was the time when Corey was saved from further abuse.

Corey Feldman describes the moment in his book “Coreyography”:

It got so bad that after fleeing Ron’s clutches one night only to have another adult male friend attempt to molest him right after, he escaped to the only safe and friendly place he knew.

“I was shattered, disgusted, devastated. I needed some normalcy in my life. So, I called Michael Jackson,” he writes. “Michael Jackson’s world, crazy as it sounds, had become my happy place. Being with Michael brought me back to my innocence. When I was with Michael, it was like being 10 years old again.”

https://nypost.com/2013/10/19/the-childhood-hell-of-the-lost-boys/

Ron Crimson is a pseudonym used in the book for Jon Grissom. Now it becomes clear why Grissom was “angry” and “jealous” of Michael Jackson. Corey had just broken free from the people who were abusing him for months and escaped to the only safe place he knew. However Grissom’s twisted mind allowed for only one interpretation of Corey’s flee to Michael Jackson – that the boy preferred a new man to his previous (boy)lover, and hence the feeling of “jealousy” towards him.

And this once again explains the mindset of pedophiles who circled around Michael spreading stick stories about him. It is just an umpteenth reminder of the fact that these stories reflected their own assumptions about MJ and their own ideas of a friendship with a teenager.

I’ve always thought that what they did to children was assumed by them about Michael Jackson and this is what it really was – they attributed their own motives and sexual interests to a man who didn’t have them. They couldn’t even imagine that Corey’s association with Michael Jackson was a simple friendship with no sexual element to it. They themselves knew no such thing.

And it was in this sick manner that these people shared their views about MJ with the police. In one more clip of Corey Feldman’s tape, earlier aired by Celebrity Justice, there is a very specific episode where Detective Russell Birchim tries to impose on Corey Feldman what is essentially a pedophile’s way of thinking. He keeps telling them “Nothing happened” and they keep replying “You simply don’t understand”.

By the way if this was how the police talked to all other alleged victims, it is no wonder that Jason Francia, for example, finally gave in. He was pressed by the police so hard that at some point wanted “to strike them with something heavy on the head”. However after several interviews like that he did manage to recall three cases of “tickling”. It was nothing much, but still a tiny allegation to support their Jordan Chandler flimsy case against Michael Jackson.

Here is the way the police shook Corey Feldman for the information they wanted:

Corey: “Nothing ever happened with Michael.”

Sgt. Deborah Linden: “What concerns me about it is that if there is something happening, if something did happen that you’re not telling us, is that you wouldn’t because of that.”

Corey: “No. I can’t put myself in the position of thinking “Would I or wouldn’t I?” because nothing happened!”

Detective Birchim: “We hear a lot of stuff about how Michael would never hurt any children. Of course he wouldn’t. He loves kids, he’s not gonna hurt them…not physically. I don’t think if Michael’s molesting kids, he’s doing it because he wants to hurt them. He’s doing it because he loves them.”

[ghostgloss]

even though corey feldman is gross and not worth paying attention to most of the time, coreyography (forever lmao @ the title) is really well-written and worth reading if you haven't already. there's a lot about haim throughout the years and it isn't as exploitative as I thought it would be. there are a lot of happy and sad anecdotes about him that makes you miss him so much, I wish things would've turned out better for him. he was a good person and life was unfair to him :/

i heard about that book but i avoided it for the obvious reasons (corey feldman being freaky af, the cringey title lmao, etc.) but if there's Quality Corey Haim Content it might be worth a read then!! he was a Doll and even though he admittedly caused a lot of his own problems lol he was still a sweet&good person who went through a lot and i wish he wouldve been able to make the recovery and comeback he wanted to. i miss him :(
