This is what a girl power movie should be. I went to see Whip It because it looked fun and was a totally Austin film (there's something fun about sitting in the Alamo Drafthouse watching a movie where the characters go to the Drafthouse
I just went to an actual women's Roller Derby match (the Derby Darlings), and I saw that poster! I didn't realize it was a movie.
My friend is in the Derby Darling league- it's great. It's a sport that was invented during the Depression- people would roller skate around until they fell down- then they were "out." When they realized people in the crowd loved it when they fell down, some girls would fall down on purpose, others would try to get people to fall down and it grew into this awesome chick sport. Now they dress up in costume- makeup, striped tights. There were even off-beat cheerleaders in pink in between matches. It was all fun and they don't take themselves or anything too seriously.
