The List for Wednesday, June 21st 2023

Welcome to The List,

Another director “of a certain age” has come out ferociously against the mega-budget action flicks these days. Oliver Stone says, quote, “I saw ‘John Wick 4, talk about volume.  I think the film is disgusting beyond belief.  Keanu Reeves kills, what, three, four hundred people in the movie.   I realize it’s a movie, but it’s become a video game more than a movie.” The last movie Oliver Stone made was 2016’s “Snowden.”

The Star, says Al Pacino is allegedly still stunned he’s become a father at age 83.  A source says, “He didn’t believe he could ever get anyone pregnant. He requested a paternity test. Behind the scenes, he feel’s that Noor is trying to trap him. The relationship was casual and now he’s tied to this woman for the rest of his life.

Lainey Wilson would like you to know she’s NOT hawking special weight-loss gummies online.  So don’t buy them. Fake ads have been making the rounds, claiming she’s lost a bunch of weight on them, and they saved her life.  Some claim she’s also got her touring partner Luke Combs taking them now, and they saved his life too.  None of it’s true.

Life is filled with special moments that drift away.  But if you’re a songwriter like Walker Hayes you can make any one of them last forever.  He posted a video the other day of himself singing about one unique moment. When he took his nine-year-old daughter Loxley to a Taylor Swift concert for her birthday. But the show lasts so long she falls asleep in his arms.

Even though “The Flash” movie is number one at the box office this week, most people went to see Michael Keaton’s Batman…The Nerdist website has put together and ranked the BEST Batman suits starting from the 1940’s Batman almost 80 years of Bat suits…from best to worst.  Which one is YOUR favorite.

And lastly, Tom Cruise tells Access Hollywood that he still dances in his underwear like he did in his movie “Risky Business. He was 19 when he made it.  He had to figure out how I slide across the floor in his socks. They put some slick stuff on the floor and he slid all the way across the first time…

The List for Friday, December 19th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Sad news from the NASCAR world. Greg Biffle, one of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers, has died at age 55 in a plane crash in North Carolina. Authorities say seven people were killed, including Biffle, his wife Cristina, and their two children. Beyond his racing success, Biffle was widely praised for his humanitarian work, especially helping communities after Hurricane Helene. The racing world is mourning a champion on and off the track.

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

-----

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships. The show centers on a messy female friendship, an escape from an abusive marriage, and a fresh start in a small Texas town that turns out to be full of secrets. So basically heartbreak, healing, strong women, and Texas drama which is already Miranda’s brand. Country music meets prestige TV.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
