okay, jean-lucien also sent me this poster reproduction a few nights ago. groovy-looking, right? i have very vague memories of this flick being on HBO, back when HBO was the only game in town... before you were born, remember kids? so i got curious, and looked up the title on the good ol' IMDb. apparently, (and jean-luc, you'll be particularly amused by this...) apparently it was written by donald cammel... yes, the same donald cammel that penned the psychedelic masterpiece, 'performance.' it was directed by some guy named rudy durand, who never directed anything else. the tagline is quoted as "...everyone can have the chance once in a lifetime to hit the ball." that doesn't even make grammatical sense. and, the plot synopsis also reveals 'tilt' is actually brooke shields' name. (well, her nickname... but it think its hilarious that at ANY time during the movie, someone must actually call her 'tilt.') i just skimmed the 'plot,' but it seems at the end, she has a 'pinball wizard'-esque showdown with the rival 'baller' harold 'the whale' remmens, played by... (wait for it) charles durning....! (click to enlarge)

This is amazing. Brooke Shields has been in some stupid moves. Her Mom should've said the word 'no' a little more.
that poorly written tagline slays me. funny, i scored the poster a month ago and never even read it until now.
for more brooke shields fun, there's always "just you and me kid" with george burns and (i think) Lorraine Gary!
hey, i'll bet it's ALMOST as bad as "desperately seeking susan".
(amnesia? really?)
^^^ hahahah! you're right. Amnesia. Lord. I do love that movie though.
