What would you do for "Pool" if you hit the lottery?

Direct a new pool movie. Any ideas on the storyline? I am thinking of having Shane Van Boening star in the lead role.[/QUOTE

To produce another movie or better yet a series just might bring the pool scene back in the lime light. I've been thinking about this for years....

I am thinking maybe a female version of the Hustler or The Color of Money. Maybe Paul
Newman's long lost granddaughter, or Tom Cruise's daughter, but nothing like that awful
9 Ball movie with Jennifer Barretta. Don't get me wrong, I like Jennifer, but that movie was terrible.
How about like Eddie's grand daughter is a promising young attorney that (as fate would
have it), that represents an old time player that Grandpa had told her stories about when
she was a child. His case was Pro Bono so to thank her he wants to do something nice
for her so he invites her for a drink, to be polite she reluctantly accepts his invitation and
they end up at a bar with a pool table where she discovers a raw natural ability for
the game. Slowly she's drawn into a world of hustlers, road players, professionals,
and gamblers and comes across the old timer once again who presents her with....
her grandfather's Balabushka.........

That sounds kinda cool. I didn't see the Baretta movie and I think there needs to be a new format of sorts.

The camera comes up on a back room with a single table and a light. The one getting hustled misses a shot and the other player runs out.

The loser say's Ok Jimmy I got one more barrel in me and I'm busted in fact if you bust me I need to put the bite on you for bill money, you owe me that much respect.

Jimmy say's ok one more set for 5 thousand you keep back two for bill money. If I lose I only pay 3.

Opponent: Well I thought the bet was for 5?

Jimmy: Well then if you lose you put the bite on someone else then.

Opponent: Ok for 3 but I need more weight.

Jimmy: You're getting the 7 jeezus what do you want?

Opponent: I want the 5, I'm not shooting good today I need all the help I can get.

Jimmy: The 5? really did you forget how to play? I tell you what ,how about you keep the 5 and let's just quit?

Opponent: You know me Jimmy I'm trying to figure out a way to stand back up.

Jimmy: Well after this I'm outta the game Henry. I'm quitting I got me a nest egg and I sold the restaurant. I'm officially retired.

Opponent: So what you going to do?

Jimmy: I dunno I might give a few lessons, play a few tournaments, eat some good food, work out you know, go legit. Maybe something will come up. You know I always wanted to not have to worry where the rent was coming from. I'm going to try that for once.

The opponent says well the money's on the light, its yours all 20 grand. You got a hell of a game Jimmy shame to put all that to sleep.

Jimmy says well you know what they say about good intentions don't you?

Then you go into the new plot where Jimmy tries to avoid the Pool World just to find out that Pool is taking off and younguns seem to be everywhere and no one teaching them the ropes. So he opens an Academy of Sorts out of his home teaches them all of his secrets, tells them where to go, what to do and how to set the games up and when the business gets big he sends in his guy who is wearing a camera and he tells his guy to tell his horses blow for blow how to do it. He might even text it to him. So no one knows who is behind the operation.

He offers them a place to stay and long as they can cut it and can do what he tells them. Occasionally he has to let one go. Sometimes they want out to run the road on their own.

Each week its a new game a new place under different conditions as the players go to different towns and communicate back to the home base.

First the movie, then the series.

Yeah I think that's a good way to probably kill pool off the rest of the way. I don't know I get the feeling the whole gambling thing may not work again because of the sleeze associated with the scene.

Would go out and replace the nice place that we used to have here, and with the name of it being....."Bronx Zoo", with a NY baseball theme of the 50's...Yankees, Dodgers, and the Giants. With pictures of all the great ball players of that time on the walls....then would see about getting in some of the pool greats with some major cash tournaments.......Margot Robbie and Scarlet Johannson, would factor into this at some point.
