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.

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…

Welcome to The List,
Brantley Gilbert sang “Dirt Road Anthem” at the Turning Point USA halftime show, and Zach Bryan took it personally. So Zach dropped a parody called “Chili on a Hot Dog,” basically roasting the lyrics and celebrating double-fisted chili dogs like it’s a county fair championship. Brantley fired back by grabbing two foot-long chili dogs on stage and acting it out. Jason Aldean chimed in with, “Best song I’ve heard from that guy.” Nothing says country unity like processed meat.

Thomas Rhett admitted on a podcast he’s losing hearing in one ear at 35 and had to get hearing aids. Years of loud concerts… plus four kids and a fifth on the way. He wore them for a week and asked his wife, “Is this what you hear all day?” She basically said, welcome to marriage. Turns out the loudest tour of his life is at home.

There’s a new indie horror movie called ‘The House Was Not Hungry Then’, told entirely from the haunted house’s perspective. No close-ups. No dramatic reaction shots. Just the house silently watching a woman search for her missing father. It hits video on demand February 13th. So now even the drywall is judging you.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he’s working on Top Gun 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6. He told Screen Rant it’s basically a horse race. Right now Top Gun is barely ahead, waiting on a script. So Maverick might fly again… or Jack Sparrow might stumble back in. Hollywood is saying…. originality is overrated.
