Some of the comments below are pretty horrifying. What the hell is wrong with people?  It’s like incel corner down there at the moment.

There are a ton of misogynist trolls on threads below whining about how now we clearly know that Amber’s a liar...because she got sued and ran out of money. Can someone explain to these morons that just because Amber seems like a deeply unpleasant person, that doesn’t mean she’s lying about being assaulted. It…

domestic abuse professionals are pretty adamant that just because someone eventually starts fighting back, it doesn’t make them the abuser. you end up internalizing all this abuse and start using it too, and it’s a common tactic of manipulation by abusers. Soon the victim will lose any outside support, and the abuser…

The actor also said that though he developed a dependence on the opioid Roxicodone following an injury on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, he detoxed and experienced withdrawal from the drug during his relationship with Heard.

“I am not some maniac who needs to be high or loaded all the time.”…

There’s just something not right to me about all of the statement’s Johnny Depp has made about this situation. His statement:

Hell, I’ve ALWAYS felt uncomfortable with how close people get and act on flights. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten the flu or a cold from someone flying. You didn’t really have many options when it came to sitting beside a sick person from across the country or world. Of course, the continuing irony is…

Hopefully your tombstone won’t read “he got regularly outraged on behalf of sexual harassers”

It’s not ok when a 21 year old guy does it, or a 40 year old guy or an 80 year old guy. It isn’t ok or ‘cute’. keep your hands to yourselves; train yourselves to stop making sexual innuendoes.

Sam trying to deflect some blame onto Marc Maron was a shitty start to an otherwise heartfelt apology. Marc didn’t do anything other than ask a question.

I’m guessing Sam lost a shot at a role he wanted over the comments and it dawned on him that his audience really doesn’t want him saying that stuff.

It’s pretty funny when movie stars begin to believe their own created images. As was often said, Cary Grant never forgot that he was really Archibald Leach, but John Wayne completely forgot that he was really Marion Michael Morrison. He began to play John Wayne offscreen as well as on. I’d say that Sacramento-born and…

“he just felt personally attacked, because he was so tied up in westerns as an actor.”

Very few westerns present a “realistic” portrayal, and modern-day “cowboys” live a very different life than their counterparts from over a century ago.  If this wasn’t labeled a “western” would Sam Elliot suddenly be ok with it?

“what the fuck does this woman from down there, New Zealand, know about the American west?”

“Fuck no,” he responded, explaining that he read an article about how the movie is an “evisceration of the American myth” and how it was being promoted with images of “fucking cowboys” wearing “chaps and no shirts.”

What an odd comment to make. 

His apparent feelings about gay cowboys and their sartorial choices aside, Elliot is continuing the myth of the “Old West” and I think that’s the bigger picture of his complaint. But the west he’s imagining pretty much never existed outside wild west shows and movies. He’s mixing fantasy with reality and letting…

He mentions Ang Lee but never says “What the fuck did Ang know about ranchers cattle or otherwise, he probably shouldn’t have been the one to make Brokeback.” No he mentions that he worked with Ang and that Ang is a great director. Brokeback isn’t about ranching anymore than Power of the Dog is about ranching so why…

The French Dispatch kinda sucked aside from being beautifully shot imo.

God dammit, Sam Elliott, I thought you were one of the good guys. The full podcast is here http:  //www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episode-1309-sam-elliott, if you might think it was taken out of context. It wasn’t. It’s a fairly sort exchange but it’s... bad.
