I'm partial to the first "Hot Shots!" and "The Arrival". Love that movie.

I think Major League is much more widely regarded, but I fell in love with Men at Work in HS or thereafter and still love it to this day. Great movie! (Well, very enjoyable to me. Great might be a misnomer.)

He starred on spin city until 2002, and started 2 1/2 men in 2003. Now one could argue that he wasn't "relevant" on Spin City, but he had a leading role on a popular network sitcom. It's not like he was in hiding. I think a better argument could be made that spin city is what re-made him.

Spin City was on the decline and nowhere near as popular as Men, and did not make Charlie the big star he is now. I think it's more accurate to say Spin "opened the door" for his remake.

Something beyond this drivel, this pukefest that everyone worships," he said, referring to his show. "I'm like, 'Wow, that was another bad joke.' "

I love this guy Even he knows the show is shit.

haha this gets better and better! from tmz
Charlie Sheen tells TMZ he's writing a tell-all book about life on the set of "Two and a Half Men" -- with details about what led up to the final implosion -- and he wants at least $10 mil for the publishing rights

Sheen tells us he wants the world to know what really happened behind-the-scenes of the show during his 8-year run ... the good times and the bad ... and he plans on naming names -- including co-stars.

We're told Sheen even has a title in mind -- "When the Laughter Stopped."

Sheen says even though he's still working on the book -- he's expecting a bidding war for the publishing rights ... starting around $10 mil.

As TMZ first reported, "Men" honchos shut down production for the season after Charlie told us he wanted to fight creator Chuck Lorre.

Poor title. It implies that there was laughter at some point.

Re: Two and a Half Men to suspend production for the rest of season

Huge fan of the show, but the quality has really dropped in the past 2 seasons. I thought alot of the storylines this season were ridiculous as the show seemed to jump the shark at this point. I still watch the reruns in syndication every night as that is where the real money is.

People need to understand, at the start of his career he was considered very promising

But by the 90s he was already a notorious partier

There's no accounting for him now, but I prefer to remember Charlie Sheen as Private Chris Taylor

If he expects to cash in, he'd better write quickly!

Wow...10 mil. That's not even the amount of money from episodes he 'lost' this year.

Good idea, Sheen.

Yeah, it would totally suck to be 18 and have already earned all the money you will ever need for the rest of your life.

Re: Two and a Half Men to suspend production for the rest of season

Charlie Sheen getting a new show on HBO? This just keeps getting better and better.

http://www.azcentral.com/ent/celeb/a...ns-corner.html

Charlie Sheen claims he is going to launch a new TV show on HBO following the decision by CBS to halt production on "Two and a Half Men."

The troubled actor - who found out Friday, Feb. 25, the last four episodes of the current season had been canceled following his recent behavior and personal attack on the show's creator Chuck Lorre - says he is in talks to appear in his own 30-minute program entitled "Sheen's Corner."

He told RadarOnline.com: "I'm close to securing a deal with HBO for a 10-show guarantee. It will be epic, all types of guests and we will focus on the truth and the absurd!"

If the show gets the green light, Charlie would earn a reputed $5 million per episode, however, HBO are yet to validate his claims.

The hellraising star - who has been receiving home rehab treatment for alcohol and drug abuse - has also revealed he intends to show up for work on "Two and a Half Men," despite the decision to halt production by CBS.

In a text message to ABC show "Good Morning America," Charlie - who is currently on vacation in the Bahamas - insisted he is "100 per cent" sober and is planning to head to the set next week.

He also branded the decision to cancel the remaining episodes as "crazy" and "sad".

CBS made the decision to axe "Two and a Half Men" after Charlie - who has been on hiatus because of his drink and drug problems - gave a radio interview in which he dared them to stop the show and branded Chuck a "turd".

In a statement, Warner Bros. Television and broadcaster CBS said: "Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production on 'Two and a Half Men' for the remainder of the season."

Charlie then hit back in an open letter in which he continued to insult Chuck and also referred to his by his Hebrew name - leading to accusations of anti-Semitism.

In the letter, he said: "What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows ... I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words - imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists."

I wouldn't. I tend to avoid watching a show that features an asshole.
