Weekly Rollup and Open Thread, 3/25/2011
Gotham scribe Thomas Gerbasi definitively answers the is-she-or-isn't-she leaving mystery around Suzy Hotrod. (Spoiler alert: she isn't.)
Do the crime, serve the time.
Nazis fail all the time, but this particular Nazi fail is pretty impressive.
First quarter of this Brazilian sports show focuses on their São Paulo derby league. Hope you speak Portuguese.
As long as we're in South America, here's video from Bogota's first match, complete with an adorable Spanish death metal soundtrack.
Mildred Fierce (a/k/a Kim Luke) does a very nice job of sneaking a derby article into the mainstream media for Santa Cruz.
We've seen about 1 billion different approaches to quickly explaining the rules of roller derby, but this one, from Lowcountry Highrollers of Charleston, South Carolina, is definitely one of the best-produced (and unquestionably the most successful at integrating Super Mario sound effects).
A piece of Rat City Rollergirls history reopens.
And finally, back to Gotham … as the Gotham Girls kick off their 2011 home season this weekend, here's a nicely done, concise video recap of the 2010 Gotham home season.
