So my roommate is obsessed with Robert Downey, Jr.

[osaraba]

Which I completely understand. Because I really really liked him back in the 80s when he was doing stuff with members of the Brat Pack.

Judy's boss told her she should watch Tuff Turf (1985), which has a young RDJ in it. And so Judy said we should try to dl it and watch it. And I'm like, "Sure! We should also dl and watch Less Than Zero (1987) because it has JAMES SPADER IN IT." Whom I love to death. And also because Less Than Zero HAS AWESOME IMPLIED SCENE OF RDJ BLOWING* SPADER IN EXCHANGE FOR COKE. YAAAAAAAYYYYYYY! I was thrilled with this at the tender young age of (probably not 6, which I was when the movie came out), but possibly in the 8-11 age range.

*Or possibly some other sex act, I can't quite remember anymore...

No, my tastes have not changed much since I was 5. Yes, I said 5.

Anyway, she sent me a link to the trailer for Tuff Turf:

Hahaha, you have to see it -- it's SO EIGHTIES OMG!

And guess what? JAMES SPADER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER! He plays the teenage-rebel anti-hero with a leather motorcycle jacket. YAYYY! The only thing better than badass-teen!Spader is asshole-coke-dealer!Spader, asshole-voyeur!Spader from Sex, Lies & Videotape (1989), and sweet-sadist-dom!Spader from Secretary (2002), which btw, is one of THE most romantic movies I've ever fucking seen. \o/

I approve of this whole fucking post! ;)

(Have to admit that I've never seen Tuff Turf, but you already convinced me to get my hands on it.)
And yesss, Less Than Zero (love Bret Easton Ellis and this is a great adaptation) and Secretary (which my MOM told me to watch after she saw it - mum rulz!)

It's probably saying a lot about me as a slash fangirl that the only part I remember in Less Than Zero is that one scene. ^_^

Secretary is just a movie after my liking! I'm all for the kinky stuff. *nom nom*

Hey brain twin! James Spader, wow, I loved him.

And you like Secretary! :)

Hee. I totally had a thing for 80's RDJ too! Er, and I also saw Less Than Zero at a ridiculously young, impressionable age. THANKS PARENTALS! for letting me watch movies that trained my deviant tastes in interesting and bizarre ways. ;)

Tuff Turf looks like possibly the greatest thing ever.
