The List for Friday, January 26th 2024

Welcome to The List,

The trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal’s remake of “Road House” is out…it looks pretty good too.  There's already some controversy, though.  The director, Doug Liman, is boycotting the film's premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival.   Why?  Because Amazon has decided to stream it, rather than put it in theaters. Make yourself some toast and check out the trailer here.  The movie hits Prime March 21st.

Parker McCollum got married March of 22 in Tomball Texas and he’s still learning a few things about navigating this journey with his new wife Hallie Ray Light.. “I say the thing I've probably learned the last year – you can take a girl anywhere she wants to go, buy her anything you want to buy her, but your quality time is, like, the number one thing that they really care about,” He goes on that it’s the one thing he doesn’t have a lot of is.time, but Hallie handles it really well..

The NY Times says a recent study reveals that Taylor Swift is shown for a very minimal amount of time during NFL games. Swift was shown just five times for a total of 24 seconds during the recent AFC Divisional round playoff game. In previous games, she was shown for even less time, with an average of just three to five times per game.  I wonder why they felt the need to research that….

-----

We learned a few new things about Dolly Parton this week . . . She has a Dog Fashion show coming out on CBS . . .  her husband got a kick out of that Dallas Cowboy cheerleader outfit . . . and her go-to Taco Bell order.  A Taco Supreme in a soft-shell, a Mexican pizza, and an order of rice and beans.  Dolly says, "And I get mild sauce.  I don't like to get it too hot and ruin everything."
