Jeanette Lee to Star in the 9-ball Movie

jason said:

Gail had her tenth birthday party tonight, but her Dad was not there. She loves her dad, and he loves her. He had told her he was bringing her a special present, so why was he so late? Gail thought she knew what the present was; it must be that special custom pool cue she had wanted. Dad must have stopped to pick it up on his way home from work; maybe he stopped at Vicky's billiards to shoot a few games of 9-ball and lost track of time? Gail looks at the posters of the great women pool champions on her wall, Dorothy Wise and Jean Balukas and smiles. A screech of tires outside shakes Gail's attention to the street. As Gail quickly opens her window, she sees a car speed up and stop next to her Dad, as he staggers up the street holding a long package under his arm. Gail waves to her Dad, he smiles, waves back, and blows her a kiss. A man jumps out of the car, runs up to Gail's Dad and stabs him in the chest and yells in his face "Dirty dogs must die!" Gail races to her Dad's side. As he lies dying, he says "Gail. Have faith, you will be a champion."

OH PUUURRRLLLEEEEEEEZZZZ.

Straight to VHS.
 
I heard the movie starts with Jeanette standing on the shore of a pond admiring the sunset. Suddenly the Lady of the Lake, holding Fast Eddie's Balabushka, rises from the water and hands the cue to Lee. A child fishing near her, says "The one has been chosen, the land shall thrive again."

The sad part is that I'd totally watch that :p

(presuming of course that it has better acting and editing than this 9ball movie)

LA-man,
I'm going to have to strongly disagree with your claim. In a survey of the general NON-SPORTS FAN population in multiple metropolitan areas; her recognition factor among the general population was SKY HIGH; exceeded only by a handful of elite athletes. Her recognizability is even higher in Asia.

It is this recognizability that leads ESPN to continue to offer "Black Widow Weekends" (televised tournaments with her as a participant have about TWICE the viewership as the others); and that allows her to command such a premium price for exhibitions and endorsements.

I think you are seriously mistaken in your marketing opinion. Having said that, I have little interest in low-budget pool movies and will reserve comment.

I get you. My mistake for using the Q factor reasoning. What I meant by that reference is that no one(outside of pool) is going to see the movie because of Jeanette, and I'm not sure how many IN pool will see it. Her Q factor may be high but I think it is a skewed #. The evidence is quite obvious,,,how often do you see any reference to anything Jeanette related. She's simply not in the stream of consciousness. She's as much visible as women's pool is. That is to say, in the domain of sport/games, women's pool is filler and rarely seen. Heck, her image used to be prominent in the background of PTI, now she's not there. That doesn't mean "the Black Widow" has no recognition(though I'll bet the general public doesn't know the Widow's real name), but it also doesn't mean that it does.

If you know what I mean :)

Good lord please NO!! Kingpin sucked so bad, all something like that can do is make pool's situation worse. Maybe a good comedy revolving around pool, but nothing like Kingpin.
I've often though that a APA league scenario could be a good vehicle for a situation comedy. Some of the things I've seen in APA especially in our poorer communities would be some great material for comedy.

Are you kidding?
Kingpin was hilarious!

I like that idea. Jennifer and jeanette in a total chick fight. THAT would make it theatre worthy.


The apa league night scenario sounds good too. Make it a buddy flick with 5 apa players trying to get to vegas. with a little "hustlin" thrown in along the way. If done right i think somthign like that could be a mainstream movie.

Ill buy the dvd when it comes out. Ive definetly seen worse thats for sure. anybody seen whoopi in kiss shot? now that sucked.
