"That f--king rubbed me the wrong way, pal," Elliott continued."The myth was that they were these macho men out there with the cattle. I just come from f--king Texas where I was hanging out with families, not, but families, big, long, extended, multiple-generation families, that made their living, and their lives were all about being cowboys.""I don't know if that's the, uh, biggest issue at hand...
"I mean Cumberbatch never got out of his fucking chaps!" he exclaimed."He had two pair of chaps: a wooly pair and a leather pair. And every f--king time he'd walk in from somewhere — I don't know where the f--k, he never was on a horse, maybe once — he'd walk into the f--king house, storm up the f--king stairs, go lay on his bed in his chaps and play his banjo."
Maron suggested it was just one particular tale, and that the"evisceration of the Western story" was just one critic's opinion."I take it personal," he concluded."I take it f--king personal, pal." "It is a beautiful film and I was thrilled for Ang [Lee, who directed Elliott in Hulk], but it isn't a Western. For one thing, it's about a couple of sheepherders, not cattlemen."
