Sam Elliott on his Oscar nod: “It’s about fucking time”

January 23, 2019 Jordan Ruimy
DxncYKyUUAIRMni.jpg

Yesterday, mustachioed cowboy-man, and actor, Sam Elliott received his first ever Oscar nomination for his supporting turn in “A Star is Born.” However, it’s his reaction to the nomination that I need to point out, feelings which I share about his finally being recognized, “It’s about fucking time” Elliot told Deadline.

The deep-voiced Elliott, with his iconic handlebar mustache, has been largely associated with westerns over his 4 decade career, with maybe his most famous role as Virgil Earp in 1993’s “Tombstone.” However, his most underrated performance must be in 1976’s “The Lifeguard” in which he played a thirtyish lifeguard whose glory days as a collegiate star athlete are a thing of the past. Other noteworthy films he’s starred in include his iconic narrating cowboy in “The Big Lebowski,” Cher’s motorcycle-riding lover in “Mask” and bouncer father-figure to Patrick Swayze’s hero in “Road House.”

Sam Elliott Can’t Save ‘The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then Bigfoot’ [Fantasia Review]

July 28, 2018 Jordan Ruimy

I wrote about the peculiarly titled "The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot," as part of my coverage for Montreal's Fantasia Film Festival for The Playlist. I wasn't too keen on the film, even with the always welcome Sam Elliot in the lead role. Suffice to say, it wasn't as crazy as its title suggests. My next review from Fantasia will be much more positive, it'll be about the best surprise thus far at the fest, a film that was even bought by Netflix here last week. Stay tuned ...
