One can envision an emotionally charged Tony reaching a breaking point.
Ranking of the Week
Tony "Tony's journey through this DelFL season resembles a metaphorical game of Connect Four, a virtual tableau of triumphs and setbacks. Initially, he grappled with four consecutive losses, mirroring the struggle akin to the placement of red tokens in the game—a representation of the recurring poor starts witnessed in seasons past. Yet, a remarkable turn ensued as Tony claimed victory in four subsequent games, akin to the reassuring placement of black tokens, evoking a sense of continuity and a glimmer of hope in a game that has often eluded him. However, the arrival of two subsequent red tokens now stands as a precipice; should a third or fourth appear, one can envision an emotionally charged Tony reaching a breaking point, perhaps inclined to overturn the entire game in a moment of passionate frustration as he does with pizzas in the Rocky Mountain air.”

Boner's Watch of the Week
Free Jack (1992) Characters: Meet Emilio Estevez: a 5’3” smooth-talking, speed-loving guy with a penchant for risqué remarks. His girlfriend tosses out a subtle comment, and he twists it into a flirtatious comeback. When she mentions a slip of the tongue, he quips, 'I prefer both the slip and the tongue.' His biggest race is pending, but he won’t budge until his girlfriend playfully nibbles his ear. Intriguingly, the most influential man in the 'future of 2009' also desires his girlfriend. Who is this woman that two prominent men from different eras are vying for?
Rene Russo—originally known for her role as an 'average' character, progressed from dating a baseball player in 'Major League 89’ to an unnecessary love interest in '96’s 'Tin Cup.' She carved a niche as a nurturing, not conventionally attractive actress. However, her story gets wilder. She lands a major role in 'The Thomas Crown Affair,' opposite Pierce Brosnan, a billionaire orchestrating a painting heist. He risks it all to join Russo in the mile-high club on a flight to London.
Back to the movie, she's the love interest both in the present and future, apparently. So, who is this powerful future man yearning for her?
Sir Anthony Hopkins—yes, unbelievable, I know. Imagine the shock if I hadn’t warned you! Post his 1991 Best Actor win, he took on a role involving video conferencing, promised more hair, less biting, and perhaps a romantic encounter with the leading lady. Obviously, Sir Anthony Hopkins isn’t a professional body snatcher. So, who has the muscle to kidnap someone and the brains to manipulate advanced technology, teleporting individuals 20 years into the future?
Mick Jagger—yes, in his cinematic debut, he's part of a team wielding tank-like vehicles in a dystopian future where environmental damage has led to Mad Max-like chaos. He delivers a three-word punchline before a massive explosion—classic Mick Jagger. He’s the least menacing yet most amusing villain in the mix.
Jonathan Banks, known as 'Mike' from 'Better Call Saul,' portrays a young, emotionless character—a man with a ring of hair, bringing his trademark lifeless vibe to the screen.
Plot:
The movie unfolds in two timelines: the current year (circa 1988) and the future (circa 2009). Emilio Estevez, a no-nonsense, passionate driver, finds himself in the race of his life. The setting is bizarre—a cracked pavement, a rather mediocre pink car, and a noticeably absent crowd, yet the stakes are high.
In an alternate universe, a future world grapples with a dystopian reality due to environmental neglect. The rich are surviving by snatching bodies to extend their lives—entering a realm where individuals can become someone else entirely. A little taste...
