script from my younger years rather than from Puberty Blues


Block  said about 3 years ago:

YOU SLACKARSE MOLL.

Watched this last night, in mixed company, including an American who didn't quite get why us Australians of a certain age were so into it.
drags on a Winnie blue, bangs up some smack


DNichols  said about 3 years ago:

You don't have to be of a certain age surely!
The girls from Girlfriend were all from Cronulla. Well, 4/5


Block  said about 3 years ago:

Oh, I think being old enough to remember 1975 helps with this movie.
Bruce Beresford, eh?


soula  said about 3 years ago:

Puberty Blues
M
Bruce Beresford, 87 mins, Australia, 1981, 35mm.

Set around the beaches of Cronulla, Bruce Beresford's coming-of-age drama is essentially an 'ocker' movie for girls.

Based on Kathy Lette and Gabrielle Carey's semi-autobiographical novel, Puberty Blues taps into a very Australian obsession and identification with beach and surf culture.

Aside from the iconic surf scenes along Sydney's southern beaches, the film introduces audiences to the distinct surfie lingo, and takes on a more critical aspect when, for the girls, the 'glassy walls' become a kind of 'glass ceiling'.

There's some classic dialogue throughout and even more classic performances, but ultimately it's the truth of the world around the characters that has allowed the film to maintain its strength and power.

For anyone that has spent a lot of time at the beach you can't help but chuckle at the references to Chiko Rolls and towel-minding, but for these two girls, their small victories are major triumphs.

''I don't have to wary about that. I did it with my cousin at the beach''
Deb: '' I wish I had a cousin like that''

Classic

Great show


team ham sandwich  said about 8 months ago:

That was my bumhole.

This


whatwhat  said about 8 months ago:

Bloody good fun. Not enough parental units in that ep though.


kelele  said about 8 months ago:

For some reason I just feel incredibly sad at the end of that ep. Poor Frieda. Shit.


pollyphonic  said about 8 months ago:

Yeah me too. Felt super sorry for poor Frieda in the movie as well.

Aww poor Frieda

Fuck her - she's just a mole


pollyphonic  said about 8 months ago:

also must point out that I was disappointed that Bruce was not wearing leopard print grundies (like he did in the movie)

Or ambervision sunnies too come to think of it...


PixelLove  said about 8 months ago:

what does 'titted me off' mean?

I think it means getting to first base. Or maybe second base. Something besides pashing.


MelonHCST  said about 8 months ago:

Was saying to my lady that I thought it may have been dumbed down a bit because it's on 10 but they're doing a great job of it. Deb's little brother makes me lol.


als_fish  said about 8 months ago:

I love the movie and watched the first episode expecting to hate it but its great. My puberty blues drinking game involves taking a swig whenever they say root or moll. Agree with Debs little brother, he looks like an old man in a 10 year olds body. Dan Wyllie must've borrowed Eric Bana's Chopper prop.


GrantleyBuffalo  said about 8 months ago:

Dan's willy.


whatwhat  said about 8 months ago:

it's about the only thing going well for ch 10 at the moment, isn't it?


anonymous  said about 8 months ago:

and even then, slipped from previous weeks last night.


charlesincharge  said about 8 months ago:

in case anyone was wondering what i was like as a kid.. i was that younger brother.


potcrok  said about 8 months ago:

Strike a light woman. Great line. I wonder if Vaseline are getting any marketing ideas from this.


whatwhat  said about 8 months ago:

It's bloody funny. Thoroughly enjoying it and the girl who plays Debbie reminds me heaps of Rose Byrne in Echo Point - she lights up the screen.



Sunnyboyz  said about 8 months ago:

Really great Australian Story on tonight about the girls from the movie.


charlesincharge  said about 8 months ago:

fucking love this show!


Velodrone  said about 8 months ago:

Really great Australian Story on tonight about the girls from the movie.

Except for the extremely awkward surfing part and post-surfing coversation at the end.


Sunnyboyz  said about 8 months ago:

Yeah, the planned conversations were a little awkward.
