OMG, we are so going to be swamped with noobies when this movie comes out - we should really play up to this and get all the press we can in sync with its release!

Feels good to be ahead of the curve, even if only by a few months!
My daughter just looked at the picture and said "OMG - as if they'd be able to block anyone!"
Though I guess if the jammers are even tinier it could work - just like real roller derby, but smaller...
PS Lovely daughter thought it was called 'Whippet', can kind of see why....

I don't see the difference in the blockers....its the chunky blockers that are in the minority *raises hands* especially in america!
Remember its not how big you are...its how hard you hit the bitch  well thats my wisdom for the day!

Man, I think this film is going to blow massive chunks, to be perfectly honest. I mean, obviously I'm going to go and see it, but I just got a bad feeling that it's going to make me want to hurl.

You mean it could be the 'Showgirls' of roller derby...?
In which case we should totally go to the cinema en masse in unform, including helmets and pads...

I'd love to go the the premiere... which will obviously be in London... but let's pilgrimmage en masse swarm of khaki green!
And I disagree about blocker sizes in the USA. I've skated with lots of them and they are big, mean and nasty! BeyonSlay is my Shero and she's got an ass that makes a side of a barn blush.

Please tell me there is a way we can do this. Surely we can ham up the "oh hey we're one of the oldest British roller derby teams PLEASE LET 40 OF US COME TO THE PREMIERE?"

I reckon we should turn up on skates kitted up en masse for sure... and if they're not showing it here we should do it anyway, have a roller derby flash mob lol

We should storm the doors. Lots of angry rollergirls heading towards you at high speed? They'd run a mile. :D
