Drew Barrymore WHIP IT! Damn if that isn't a recurring dream of mine...
Hey folks, Harry here with a trailer that I just love. Living here in Austin, you can not escape the glee and insanity of our Roller Girl leagues. I have friends that are girls, that kick ass with skates on - a move that is decidedly yummy! Anyway, sometimes Austinite, Drew Barrymore has decided to direct her first film - and the subject matter is Roller Derby in a feature called WHIP IT! That her team brandishes fetishized Girl Scout uniforms as their outfits... well, it is so wrong in all the most right ways. Give it a look and see what you think:
Go on and WHIP IT, WHIP IT real good!

Hey Harry- will AICN be covering the EMMY NOMINATIONS this year?
by YackBacker
Just wondering...
-
I've been looking for that thing since 1988! Stryper's new CD comes out this month and I need that t-shirt back to wear to the new tour!
-
I haven't seen it but it sounds like fap material, def.
-
although this film is about the Texas roller derby scene, it was filmed in MICHIGAN due to their superior film incentives. Maybe Texas' experience with this film helped the legislature realize they needed to up the ante to attract film makers back to the so-called "third coast"!
-
almost always, especially in Harry and Quint's cases, describe women with food analogies? It's gross.
-
But Roller Derby is hella fun. It's a big deal here In St. Louis. But the film looks ok.
-
WHERE HAS HE BEEN?
-
after the release of this film. Girls all over will be doing this new trend.
-
is it with AICN and dead QT links? Over the last month or so when I click on a QT URL in an article the embedded movie file won't load. I just get that damn "Q". <P> Is it just my computer or has anyone else had this issue?
-
Ellen Page bowed out of Drag Me To Hell for this mess?
-
it's a Harry thing.
-

-
...or does this look kind of good? Maybe I'll just blame the music - that's always a good excuse.

Harry don't you think it sucks they shot it out of state?
by CarmillaVonDoom
Seriously lame that it didn't shoot in Austin or surrounding area. Rollergirls are definitely a cool subculture to be a part of imo.
-
Drew Barrymore is most def not...
-
as all Page's other sarcastic teen roles. She's always looked talented to me but she's got to avoid taking the Christina Ricci route and being typecast for the rest of her career. Too early to tell whether this is the same kind of thing but seriously, what she needs is a role that really stretches her. Be a waste otherwise.
-
Where's the story on that? Huh? Its just sad that the entire day has gone by and still, no story.
-
Is that why this site has SO FUCKING MANY BROKEN LINKS?
-
I swear it wasn't there earlier today. My bad.

I HOPE FOR SOME HOT LESBO SCISSOR FUCKING AND CLIT FLAPPING...
by CharlesThomasMathews1978
Otherwise I will have to politely decline. A shower scene perhaps?
-
She hasn't been hot since about 1999.
-
Tho it's being covered everywhere, so why worry?
-
"Did Al Gore invent the internet 15 minutes ago!" and "Harry has "friends that are girls"" has given me my good laugh for the day. Thank you Talkbackers, as usual you are the only reason I can make it through my average American mundage fucking office work day.
-
A place for you to grumble etc has been created.
-
Meh . . . has she been attached to anything decent in the past twenty years?
-
actually most of my friends are female. And that's not even counting the pussys that happen to have penises.
-
I don't care what all you assholes think.
-
I don't care what all you assholes think.
-
make the circle complete
-
Pussys is just wrong, yet so, so right.
-
I actually wonder if this movie could be kinda good, I mean the cast is pretty good. Too bad I'll most likely never see it.<P> Now if those chicks were skating sans tops, well then I'd probably have to see it.
-
Don't be dissing my first movie crush motherfucker!
-
I will jump in the wayback machine about 15 years and crush right along with you but since then . . .
-
But then again, every movie is a way back machine, now innit?

Ugly Drew Barrymore, ugly Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig
by Bruce of all Trades
Who's actually pretty hot, but somehow they uglied her up too. No hotties allowed in our GO GIRL! movie. Yeah... this is going to suck.
-
And Ellen Page is mostly attitude which will wear thin in a few years or a couple of bad movies. Barrymore as directrix? I don't see her as the next Sofia Coppola, seems more of a "I wanna do this" kind of thing that actors sometimes get.
-
...listens to Wilco also is a "big fan" of roller derby. I predict it will expand in popularity from just hipster douches to the mainstream. Then hipster douches will curse Drew Barrymore and this movie and no longer be into because it will be "discovered" and no longer good.

Drew Barrymore is too skanky? Too Skanky?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by SoylentMean
ReportAbuse, stop touching my feelings for Gertie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Duh duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh duh,
-
I don't get her fanbase? She's ugly and has no talent.
-
It's rollerderby, beeotch!
-
and cleanses elephant vaginas! He cleanses them! Cleanses!
-
Your mom says hi,
-
They shot a few scenes from this flick at the bar I use to work at,so I got to be an extra. They told us to stand around and look "hip" and "indie". Meeting Drew Barrymore and Eve(the rapper) was nice, but I think the movie is gonna suck.
-
Bet those beefy chicks sure can whip it. And super size it.
-
That's really the best you got after I called you an "elephant douche"? Elephant douche says "Your mom says hi,"<P> Also, look at that comma, like you were gonna say something else but just couldn't do it.<P> Must be all that pachyderm pussy juice.
-
It sure does sound like one kickass town. I should get a travel brochure sent to me from Austin. <P> Austin.
-
Yeah, when she saunteres up with that body of a pre-teen boy and her lesbo-in-training flannel shirt, hottness is the first word that comes to mind.
-
It doesn't surprise me at all that she made this as her Directorial debut. Drew's always fancied herself as a RIOT GIRL and still thinks it's the 80's when roller derby's and Cherrie Currie were all the rage. She needed to make Charlie's Angles 3 in 2006 and finish it off as a trilogy.
-
My girlfriend introduced me to the sport, and I haven't missed a bout since. Awesome game, awesome girls, awesome culture. Sadly, 99% of the participants could be charitably described as "homely." <P> Looking forward to the film, but hoping it doesn't initiate a stampede of bandwagon douchebags. It's hard enough to get seats in the crash zone. :)
-
Summon down a hurricane or something. Surfing isn't a sport. Surfing is teasing sharks.

in the air on the skating track. for obvious reasons.
by Mysterious_Volvo
-
Are you crying?
-
I think she's kinda gorgeous actually and I'd spin that spinner upon my GIGANTIC LASERCOCK like there was no tomorrow if given half a chance. But, I'm pretty sure she's into girls. Exclusively. Makes me wish I was a girl. You know, more than usual.
-
Stay classy, Knowles.
-
Not a deal-breaker for me in other contexts, but with something like this? Kinda limits the fetish possibilities, doesn't it? Meh.
-
I'd bang her silly/
-
It's the one with the arm stubs and the two glass eyes, ain't it? That moaning means she has to take a shit dude.

Her mouth is full at the moment, she'll be right with you.
-
Weird this is getting a movie. The new, new roller derby trend is four years old.
-
anyone got a link?
-
....I got you jewels! Ah-Heee!
-
I'm not sure if I'm impressed with her acting or not...when I saw Hard Candy I was impressed, but watching Juno and The Tracey Fragments I started feeling like she was basically just being the same character in every film, that sarcastic overly clever teenager. I think that act is not going to wear well as she gets older so it remains to be seen if she has the acting chops to mature or just keeps repeating the same routine. BTW, is you haven't seen 'Mouth to Mouth' go Netflix it now. Great flick about a bunch of homeless kids in Europe who get mixed up with a cult and go on a wild road trip across Spain. She's not as snarky in this one as she usually is for some reason.
-
One of the only things I really liked about X3.

When I think about that whip it song.

I love those "she's not hot" posts. if you were in 4 feet of her
by ironic_name
you would be crash tackled by her security, because you, yes you, you gargantuan tub of lard, are the ugly one in this slice of life.
-
you sound like a sad fucking douche bag with a micro penis...
-
I couldn't stand Juno. Hated it. I loved Hard Candy, though. It was kinda ridiculous, but awesome ridiculous. Juno was just irritating.
-
Thx man you are a gent.
-
Mooooooooooooooooo!!!<p> She would not have a career if her name wasn't Barrymore. Thank God for Hollywood nepotism.
-
She kinda totally nailed the role. If you've ever seen the original documentary, you'd see. She really nailed it. I was surprised as anyone cause usually she's friggin' terrible. Give it a looksee if you haven't yet. Actually, watch the original doc and then watch that and you'll see what I mean.
-
for some reason she reminds me of a young Janeane Garofalo. I don't know why.
-
E/T. rules.
-
http://movies.yahoo.com/premie res/14525841/standardformat<P>Take out the space.
-
am i supposed to like this or trash it? i'll wait to see what Quint says.
-
We've established that Drew Barrymore is not hot, but Ellen Page might be in some quirky sort of way. I have determined that I should penetrate both of them repeatedly in the name of scientific research. Verily, I shall twist their nipples. Heartily I shall cackle as I defile them both.
-
She taught aviation, was hot like *fuck*, and had a very atheletic body. She was married with two kids, and drove a long bed 4-wheel drive truck to work, which always made me wonder if she subbed for the other team on occasion.<p>I always had this strange little daydream of her body-checkin' the frag outta me while ordering me to commence with the carpet munching.<p>Yep, a sick puppy I am....but in the immortal words of Dan Fielding:<p>"I gotta be me."
-
To each his own I guess. Also,I'm on the side that thinks Ellen Page may be the next Jodie Foster...meaning never over rated as an actress and never wanting to know the touch of a man.

I don't know what derby leagues you nerds have near you...
by John Maddening
...but "the vast majority" of derby girls are not "fugly" by any stretch of the imagination. They're a cross-section of girls, The Vast Majority could kick your mom's-basement-dwelling ass.<br><br>700 leagues around the world, a central rulemaking association (WFTDA), the top leagues pulling in 3000+ fans a night... hopefully this will drive more fans to see real derby (which doesn't generally include punches to the face).
-
If you think surfing isn't a sport, try paddling out through the impact zone during a 6-8ft swell, wearing a full wetsuit with a board leashed to your ankle. It'll change your opinion, I guarantee.
-
And while that is a bold fucking statement...it is also for the most part true. Sure...Drew, depending on med levels and time of the month, can be a little bit of plumper...and she does have a somewhat Downs Syndromish face when her weight is up. But lets be honest; I'm a red blooded guy...and I'd pork her pudgy, pursed pooper from here into next week. From all accounts...it'd be a pretty good Roll in the sack. Drew started screwing at 11, and was coked up at 12...the girl has some serious skill in the art no doubt. So no...she ain't "Hot"...but I'd do her..and so would you.
-
The "she's fugly" posters would be the first to jizz their jeans if she walked within five feet of them...me included.<p>But 11 yrs old??? She popped it at 11? Wow. I've heard lots of gals say 13, but never 11. I'm starting to fear for my 5 yr old daughter.
-
Banked track Rollerderby is so 1970's. And those helmets are too big. I guess Drew and her Hollywood pals have to make sure you see their pretty faces.
-
And Never wanting to know th touch of a man, That was supposed to be my comment on Ellen Page and her likeness to Jodie Foster. Thats what happens when I try to type fast while posting from work. Also Conspiracy is right, I would gladly fuck Drew,Ellen Page,maybe even Ellen Degeneros. Atleast i'd have something interesting to talk about at parties.
-
You guys are my new heros! FUKIN A MAN!!!!!
-
She couldn't do that for one minute w/o getting her teeth knocked out or a broken leg. She's a fucking midget.
-
That is why people don't consider surfing a sport.<P>Only pussies wear wetsuits!
-
But other than that i'd run from tubesock tits lady.
-
That's what the clock on my computer says RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
-
Of course surfing is a sport, it's just that I don't think I'd put myself out there as bait like surfers do. Although I'm a little surprised we haven't come up with a fullproof shark deterent to keep them at bay. We come up with something like that and I'll try your sport. <P> Hell, there's enough stuff to kill us on land and we belong on land.
-
"THINKS YOU CANT DO IN AUSTIN" <P> Too fuckin funny... LMAO!
-
..my big aerosol spray can of Bat-Shark Repellent. It's been available since the late 60's...
