The husband and I decided to let the home entertainment system entertain us tonight, so we watched a DVD we bought at Chong Hock Music Store apres dinner yesterday.
Less Than Zero is that 1987 movie, adapted from a Brett Easton book of the same name, starring Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Gertz and Andrew McCartney.... I remember watching this movie years and years ago and wanting to find a boy like Robert Downey Jr. to fix. I remember the cocaine and Jamie's blood blood red lipstick, the sex and swimming pool. I also remember thinking Andrew McCartney looked a bit wishy-washy and the evil James Spader.
And that dress with black stockings and black heels and black jacket Jamie wears during one party scene. I wanted that dress for the prom. Even though where I come from, proms are not part of our school culture.
I can't find that dress online so just go watch the film. It's the quintessential 80s film and should not be missed if your hormones were up and running during those years.
