Clint Eastwood said something really weird Monday night about "American Sniper" ... appearing to agree with his harshest critics.

Clint was leaving Dan Tana's in West Hollywood when our photog asked what he thought about Bill Maher and Michael Moore blasting the portrayal of military sniper Chris Kyle as a hero. You'll recall, Moore called snipers "cowards," and Maher said Kyle was a "psychopath patriot."

Clint seems to hear and then process the question before he responds ... with agreement.

It's just bizarre. Watch and judge for yourself.

Dr. Dre never asked Suge Knight for permission to include his likeness in the movie "Straight Outta Compton" ... and that sparked the fight which ended with the alleged murder in a parking lot.

Sources connected to Suge tell TMZ ... he got word he was included in the film, and wanted to talk to Dre about how he was being portrayed. As we've reported ... Suge's friend Terry Carter helped set up the meeting.

As for what Suge was so worried about -- a new trailer for the movie was just released, and there is a character whupping someone's ass in a studio ... who looks just like Suge.

TMZ broke the story ... Suge and Dre's sit-down never happened because Suge got into a fight with actor Cle "Bone" Sloan ... and eventually backed up over him and Carter.

Suge has been charged with Carter's murder, the attempted murder of Sloan, and hit and run.

Tom Hanks had an awesome reunion with his "Cast Away" co-star, Wilsoooon!!! It all went down at a Rangers game in NYC ... and NBC's Brian Williams was there too.

Years from now, Brian will recall it was a Knicks game and Tom reunited with the piano from "Big" -- but let's not get hung up on details.

Chris Pratt is like a Lannister ... he always pays his debts -- and today, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star dressed up as Star-Lord to make good on his Super Bowl wager with Chris Evans.

You already know the bet ... Star-Lord (Seahawks fan) and Captain America (Pats fan) agreed to visit the other actor's charity in costume if their team lost the big game.

Well, today it happened ... with Pratt -- in character -- hangin' with kids from Christopher's Haven in Boston ... an organization that helps provide housing for families with children fighting pediatric cancer.

Don't worry, Evans was there the whole time to follow Pratt around with a Tom Brady jersey.

And the story gets better ... because Evans says he'll be visiting Pratt's charity too -- a Seattle Children's Hospital.

Amy Pascal is leaving her position as Sony Pictures chief.

We're told she will transition out of her current role in May. Pascal and Sony CEO Michael Lynton struck a deal in which she will get a major production deal, focusing on movies, TV and theater.

Pascal has been embroiled in the Sony leak scandal, where some of the things she wrote privately in emails ruffled lots of feathers both inside and outside the studio.

Pascal's contract was up in March, but our sources say the deal between Pascal and Lynton was struck in the last few weeks.

12:15 PM PT -- Matt's rep got back to TMZ and said he hasn't owned the ranch since 2011. The website to the ranch, however, still lists Matt as "co-owner." And Matt's nephew Madison went on TMZ Live and said, "My Uncle Matthew, the hunting part is part of the ranch, but he is more with the cattle. That's where his passion is."

Matthew McConaughey has a side business ... letting people onto his property to hunt caged-in animals, and it has enraged animal rights activists.

Matt owns a ranch in Mertzon, Texas with his brother Mike. The ranch breeds and sells horses and cows. The ranch also offers whitetail deer hunting ... where people can come to hunt deer that can't run away.

Hunters can actually stay on the property during the hunting trip ... there is food, a tavern, and other amenities.

As for the hunt ... people can go out during the day and shoot the deer. Someone connected with the ranch tells TMZ there are 22,000 acres for the animals to roam, but animal rights groups claim the deer hang by the feeding area, which makes them easy targets.

The ranch touts the fact that in 2007 they "high fenced" the area so the deer couldn't escape.

Some Facebook postings in the last 24 hours are caustic:

-- "WHAT A F*ING COWARD!"

-- "We just lost all respect for you ... This is NOT HUNTING ... This is disgusting behavior for human beings!"

-- "NO MORE support for you Matthew in anything and everything you do."

We reached out to Matt's rep ... so far no word back. But the actor's nephew, Madison McConaughey -- the ranch cattle manager -- tells TMZ they've had death threats from people who don't understand the nature of what they do. He says, "People are disgusted with us but we're disgusted with them."

Madison adds, people who come there do so for the "hunting experience" and he says "We're proud of what we do."

Another ranch manager tells us, "No meat goes to waste after the hunts. It helps feed our families."

Welcome to the gun show ... "50 Shades of Grey" star Jamie Dornan proved his body is definitely hard core enough to play Christian Grey.

Dornan's muscles look like they are about to explode in this impressive pic of him balancing his entire body weight on a workout bench. He says he held the pose for about 2 secs before collapsing in tears. We doubt that.

If '50 Shades' fans were worried JD wasn't hot enough to pull off the role ... they ain't worried any more.

If there's one thing Elvis Presley loved ... it was cranking up the tunes on his portable CD player. That's what you might think if you saw the King rocking a DiscMan. What's that ya say? Not possible?

And then actor Michael Shannon slipped on some blue suede shoes ... and blew your mind! Boom.

Danny McBride says we haven't seen the last of Kenny Powers ... but don't hold your breath.

McBride was on his way out of LAX when we asked about rumors of an "Eastbound and Down" movie ... he left the door open with a sad scenario.

"Harry Potter" star Robbie Coltrane got off a plane Thursday and was immediately hospitalized after suffering severe flu-like symptoms during the flight ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for Coltrane -- who played Rubeus Hagrid -- tells us the actor fell ill during a British Airways flight from London to Orlando.

We're told paramedics met Coltrane at the gate, and took him to the hospital ... where he'll remain overnight for treatment.

Coltrane went to Orlando for a Harry Potter convention ... and we're told Michael Gambon -- who played Dumbledore -- was on the same flight.

Someone on Twitter claims Coltrane was drinking heavily in a London airport lounge before the flight. If it's true, we don't know yet if that contributed to his illness.

Fresh off a hunting trip, Chris Pratt got hammered at LAX about the hottest casting topic in Hollywood: Is he getting fitted for one of those Indiana Jones fedoras???

He addressed the rumors, and let's just say ... there's a good chance he's got a bullwhip -- and maybe dead snakes -- in his luggage!

Chris Pratt is getting into "Indy" flicks -- and getting handy with a bullwhip -- at least everyone hopes he is ... and he's not doing much to squash the blockbuster rumor.

If you missed it, there's been buzz that Pratt will be the next "Indiana Jones" ... and Wednesday night at LAX, our photog (and a clever autograph seeker) got Chris to answer the big question.

CP was on his way back from a hunting trip, and claimed he's been busy killing things in the woods -- so he tries to play the "ignorance is bliss" card at first.

But watch Pratt's short roundabout answers ... to us, it sounds like there's more than a chance.

Donald Trump isn't waiting for the new 'Indiana Jones' or the all-chick "Ghostbusters" reboot to even be filmed ... before blasting out his reviews -- and they ain't good.

Now, if we can just get Donald's take on real comedy -- Harvey's pitch for a “Titanic” remake. It's awfully hysterical ... but mostly just awful.

David Spade has gained a ton of muscle ... under the hood of the nearly million dollar '69 Dodge Daytona he just snagged.

David fell so hard for the model he drove in "Joe Dirt" and its upcoming sequel ... that he bid $900K on a sick fully-restored version of the Hemi-powered ride at Mecum Auctions last Friday.

The 426-hp copper-colored whip has had several other high profile owners ... like former NFL star Kevin Greene.

The real question: where's Spade gonna put the "Cowboy's Butts Drive Me Nuts!" bumper sticker?

Johnny Depp put hundreds of screaming mustached women on their knees ... just by showing up.

No, it's not a kinky Hollywood sex party ... hundreds of excited Japanese fans greeted Depp and fiancee Amber Heard at the Haneda International Airport in Tokyo Monday morning after arriving in town to promote his latest film, "Mortdecai."

The screaming fans let him know how glad they were to see him by sporting the same mustache he dons in the film ... but turns out they were just as pumped for him as they were for Heard.

The two did their duty by signing a few autographs, leaving dozens in happy tears.

Check out the trailer ... maybe they should save a few for the movie.

Dermot Mulroney's wife desperately wants to go French -- even though her husband is Irish-American -- and she's filing legal papers to do it.

The "My Best Friend's Wedding" star has been married to Tharita Cutulle since 2008, but she's never changed her name. According to docs, she's finally ready to drop her unique name and switch -- not to Mulroney ... but to Prima Apollinaare.

As for why she's going from sounding like the scientific name for a fish ... to a fancy pasta? Maybe she's a theater buff. Guillaume Apollinaire was a famous French poet and playwright in the early 1900s.

Or maybe she digs Apollonia from "Purple Rain." 'Memba her?
