Furious Art Dealer Meets Movie's 'Sex With Mother and Son' Claim Halfway
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 4:15 AM on June 19, 2008
We're on the record as having thoroughly enjoyed the pulpy, incest-tinged, true-crime biopic Savage Grace, starring Julianne Moore as Bakelite plastics matriarch and certified son-fucker Barbara Baekeland. Alas, one of Baekeland's lovers depicted in the film wants to make it clear that he didn't fuck anyone's son — especially Baekeland's — but that the whole "homosexual romp" thing? Yeah, that might be worth a lawsuit:
[Art dealer Sam] Green told us he has no problem being depicted as one of the many characters who hung around the Baekelands. But a scene in which he and Tony have sex simply never happened, he insists.
He's consulted a lawyer about filing a defamation suit. "The lawyer said this is a winner," Green said. "How do they think they can get away with it?"Rainbow Media, parent company of IFC Films, told us: "The film was based on a book about Barbara Baekeland and carries a disclaimer that explains that characters may be composites or entirely fictitious."
Look, Sam, it's like this: When you play in the World Series of Fucked-Up, you're gonna get hit by a wild pitch every now and then. And anyway, your depiction in Savage Grace seemed pretty flattering to us, with your bronzed lothario's effortless seduction of Barbara Baekeland rivaled only by your cool in the sack with both mother and son — at the same time. You're a stud! Just take the feather, put it in your cap and enjoy your bit part in the myth. You may as well — you just publicized the hell out of it.

Man, is there anything better than fictitious consensual incest? I think my favourite instance of this deliciousness is Famke Janssen and the John Connor kid in Nip/Tuck. That shit was HOT!!

Wowzers...I haven't heard such a sordid tale of scandalous sexcapades since the last time I hung out with Rick James... smoking crack and watching twin sisters fight over the double headed dildo covered with coke. Ahhhh good times.

Will this have any bearing on the value of my extensive 20th century Bakelite accessories collection? The appraiser at Antiques Roadshow said nothing about this when I brought it in.
Is Bakelite going to go down? (On auction blocks, I mean. Not on offspring).

You want to know the fucked up thing about this...
I ordered this movie off of pay-per-view a couple of weeks ago...and until I saw this story...I had COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE MOVIE!!!
I mean, I also ordered "Alien vs. Predator"...(gotta have balance)...and that resonates in my memory from time to time...but "Savage Grace"...it totally slipped my mind...
And it's not like it was bad or anything...I just had a hard time...
Caring about the characters...how sad..

If there's one thing I learned from Bing Crosby it's that you never f**k your kids, except in your will.
