Sam Elliott rips gay themes in ‘Power of the Dog,’ calls it a ‘piece of s – – t’
New York Post ^ | 03/01/2022 | Ben Cost

Western film icon Sam Elliott is being spit-roasted online after railing on Jane Campion’s 12-time Oscar-nominated drama “The Power of the Dog” for including “allusions to homosexuality” and other LGBTQ themes.

The “1883” actor dropped the shocking bombshell during a recent appearance on Marc Maron’s “WTF Podcast,” Entertainment Weekly reported.

“You want to talk about that piece of s – – t?” the 77-year-old “Tombstone” star sputtered when asked for his thoughts about the provocative Netflix movie, which is a contender for the Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards.

For the uninitiated, the much-praised “The Power of the Dog” stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a closeted gay rancher in 1925 Montana who’s abusive toward his new sister-in-law and her son.

...

“That’s what all these f – – king cowboys in that movie looked like,” the Oscar nominee ranted. “They’re all running around in chaps and no shirts. There’s all these allusions to homosexuality throughout the f – – king movie.”

I watched it on bmovies.co for free, and it was worth what I paid.

Any movie that gets nominated to Oscars, you can guarantee that it is either directly or subtlely an homo puff piece.

Every movie is Homo.

I never even consider going. Never heard of this one.

Homo brought death to my family via AIDS. Homo is deadly. They never talk about that.

Also, sin and abomination. This is why USA is in such deep trouble. God does not want Homo society. Much less Trans and all super perverse stuff.

I hate the CONSTANT propaganda being foisted on us to create a “new normal”.

IT AIN’T NORMAL.

IT IS SINFUL.

I WON’T WATCH IT. In fact, I avoid such movies, tv shows, commercials and articles. The Bible tells me to avoid such and dwell on what is good. I will follow Jesus.

If you ever want to see what it might look like if Sam Elliot did a gay western, this comes close. https://youtu.be/V0Y6lzS0QCw

Well Sam’s character kills himself in 1883 so I’m sure he’s not worried about that. Power of the Dog sucked because it was a lame story, forced and not compelling. The gay theme was not enough to drive the narrative, so it ended up relying solely on that on what came across as a plot contrivance. “See something gay happened in the early 1900s in a manly environment..See.” yeah, no. Story sucked.

“Don’t mess with Sam Elliot, he is pure Cowboy.”

Don’t care if he’s a cowboy or cowgirl he’s still a dipshit that endorsed that dumb ass in the white house.

I used to think Sam Elliott was one of the sexiest men alive. Now when I see him I just think of this.

The S.O.B. came out loud and proud for Biden, in my state anyway..

He READ THE SCRIPT that was broadcast for Biden.

I'd rather spit on him that look at him.

There is enough information in the article to know that Sam Elliott is right that it is a piece of s**t without seeing it.
