As Leonard Pinth-Garnell would say, “The Power of the Dog is stunningly bad.”

Too Little, Too Late...

Too little, too late…

Sam , I am disappointed in you. Everyone has the right of free speech. If people dont like you say they have the right to NOT listen to what you say.

Maybe he was working on an apology but was very busy.

Sam is only expressing many people's feelings about a confusing film that pushes the 'known' arena of our country's early history into the unknown. No need to castigate him for his beliefs and oorah for Jane in pushing our limits of imagination .

forgive him already is not as if he slapped someone!!

Heard Will smith’s agents almost dumped his highly bankable, movie star ass over the Slap and figured he’d better make amends real damn fast.

He got CAUGHT!

He had to apologize for his opinion of a movie...let that sink in.

Knowing when to shut up in the first place is never a bad thing.

sounds like he was articulate about the film, though he is trying to say he was not empathic about the subject matter and other people.

Daily Beast out there doing the hard work of chasing down the elderly and making them sorry for things that most people have already forgotten they said.

Free speech is free it’s just the consequences that comes with it that matters.🇺🇸🤔

Another Old Celebrity.

i dont y ud apologize 4 it that movie suks

delete this retweet

While and because he’s promoting his own project. And possibly only because of that.

So what. He apologized. Get over it. Or don’t.

Better than not apologizing.

Sam Elliott apologizes for criticism of ‘The Power of the Dog,’ Jane Campion“I said some things that hurt people and I feel terrible about that,” the actor said. It was a fundamentally boring movie with an implausible hole filled plot that was made *barely* watchable by fine performances and good cinematography. It’s just not a great film. He could’ve chosen his words better, but if you’re trying to imply homophobia from that? Good luck.

Seems like social media got to him! Better late, than never. 👏 Well he should! Does anyone stop and think before they open their mouths anymore?
