Sam Elliot slams ‘The Power of the Dog’ as ‘piece of shit’ film: ‘Where’s the Western in this Western?’
That was 5 weeks today. He just caved to the SJW mob today:
Sam Elliott said "I want to apologize to the cast of The Power of the Dog, brilliant actors all. ... I can only say that I'm sorry."

The actor slammed the film, which is nominated for 12 Academy Awards. During an episode of "WTF With Marc Maron," Elliot, 77, was asked if he had seen the film yet, to which Elliot replied: "You want to talk about that piece of s---?"
Elliot referenced a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times that featured a review blurb that described the film as "an evisceration of the American myth."
"I thought, what the f---?" Elliott said of the adaptation from the 1967 novel by Thomas Savage. "This is a guy who has done Westerns his entire life. ‘The evisceration of the American myth.’ It looked like — what are all those dancers, those guys in New York that wear bow ties and not much else? Remember them from back in the day?"
"I mean, Cumberbatch never got out of his f---ing chaps," Elliot maintained of the film. "He had two pairs of chaps — a wooly pair and a leather pair. And every f---ing time he would walk in from somewhere … he never was on a horse, maybe once — he’d walk into the f---ing house, storm up the f---ing stairs, go lay in his bed in his chaps and play his banjo. It’s like, what the f---?"
