Less Than Zero (1987): "Santa's gonna put a suntan in my stocking."

Time, time, time, see what's become of me....Three best friends, Clay (Andrew McCarthy), Blair (Jami Gertz) and Julian (Robert Downey Jr,) reunite at Christmas break after a disastrous Thanksgiving meeting. Blair has been worried about Julian, he owes Rip (James Spader) a whole lotta money, his family has had it with him, and he's freebasing in public spaces. Clay comes home hoping to repair these relationships, but finds a Hazy Shade of Winter instead. A cautionary tale that teaches us that just because you've lived fast and died young, it doesn't mean you're leaving a good looking corpse. Juggle some Jelly Bellies and unwrap a Ferrero Rocher, it's Less Than Zero - this week on Doom Generation.
