Sam Elliott was in Up in the Air.
He was an airline captain. He presented
George Clooney with his Ten Million Mile pin.
No. 7. He was the youngest man ever to get one.
It was an empty triumph. A pyrrhic victory.
What does he do now? Go for 20? Take up bowling?
Have acid flashbacks? I kept expecting Sam Elliott to say,
“The Dude abides.” The Big Lebowski has become
a corporate destaffer. Ha ha, she committed suicide.
