A thriller set in the 1950s about two oversexed Hollywood celebrities may run into problems with contemporary American film censors even though the director and its star, Kevin Bacon, cannot understand the fuss. Bacon, costar Colin Firth, and director Atom Egoyan said on Friday that they were surprised by the media focus on sex and orgy scenes in Where the Truth Lies, about two stars whose careers fade after a beautiful woman is found dead in their hotel suite. "One of the things about this film is that when we're having sex, we're naked, and that's what kind of flips people out," Bacon told a news conference at the Cannes Film Festival after its world premiere, when asked about fears of U.S. censors. "Personally, I leave some of my clothes on, but I don't know about the rest of you," Bacon added, to laughter. "It's unfortunate that people find [two male nudes] so disturbing. To me, the sex in this film is extremely appropriate."Egoyan, a Cannes favorite with five films here in the last 11 years, said there are no graphic sex scenes in the fictional drama about men whose appetite for drugs, alcohol, and women is insatiable. "I wanted to create this world that was intoxicating," the 44-year-old Canadian director said. "They could take any amount of drugs they wanted and have as much sex as they wanted. It was an unbridled atmosphere." But when asked about fears that censors, like the Motion Picture Association of America's Classification and Ratings Board, would give his film a commercially unfavorable rating that would restrict anyone under 18 from seeing it, he said: "I never think about censors. We probably will have issues. But we're pretty firm with what we want the film to do. I'm surprised by the focus on sex rather than violence. It seems people are obsessed by the sex. I do think it's essential to the story."Bacon and Firth play two fun-loving entertainers whose antics on telethons and onstage, set in 1959, vaguely recall a Dean Martin or Jerry Lewis style of singing, dancing, and comedy. But after the dead beauty is found submerged in the bathtub of their hotel suite following a steamy menage-a-trois, their reputations are shattered and their career together ends even though neither is charged. The story then jumps forward 15 years to the early 1970s, when a young female journalist probing the reason for their breakup uncovers the surprising truth about the murder. Bacon and Firth play the roles as faded celebrities with great aplomb."I don't dare look into my future after doing a film like this," said Firth, a British actor who has become best known opposite Renee Zellweger as Bridget Jones's clumsy love interest. "I was famous 15 years ago, and I'm still famous now," Bacon added. "I'll just keep my fingers crossed." When asked what it was like to play a "pill-popping, oversexed bisexual" in the film, Firth replied, "It's a role that is not usually a stretch for most actors. To play 'Lord of the Manor of Derbyshire' requires more research. I feel comfortable in this sort of a drama." (Erik Kirschbaum, via Reuters)

The Scene: Truly disturbing. Director Melvin Van Peebles enlists 13-year-old son Mario to shoot a scene for his movie in which he has sex with a considerably older prostitute. Look Away When: The film starts. This is deeply unsettling stuff.
Yet it is when a character seduces a camper under false pretenses that "They/Them" focuses on the horrors of aversion therapy with the character receiving electric shocks to snuff out their same-sex desires. (Earlier Jordan discovers a collection of old photos featuring similarly traumatized victims.) The electroshock device is, of course, used to kill in one scene, as if to emphasize the harm of such treatment.
In a mock PSA for Mashable, the 57-year-old "Cop Car" star addresses a "big problem" in Hollywood. "In so many films and TV shows, we see gratuitous female nudity, and that's not OK. Well, it's OK, but it's not fair to actresses, and it's not fair to actors, because we want to be naked too. Gentlemen, it's time to free the bacon," he says.
"'Game of Thrones': You've got three sex scenes an episode. How hard would it be to just show one or two wieners every couple of minutes? This is an issue of gender equality. Let me be on the show. Come on! I'll play a naked wizard or something. I've done it before," Bacon says in the video. "Have you seen 'Wild Things'? I was super naked in that. It was awesome."
"I actually have a nude scene in every film that I'm in," the actor says of being an exhibitionist onscreen. "I put it in my contract 'full-frontal' and they take them out. They say, 'Kevin, you don't need to be naked in this. It doesn't make sense.' 'Kevin, it's an animated film. You're in a voiceover. Please put on your pants.' 'Kevin, you're not even in this movie. Why are you here and why are you naked?' Bulls--t!"
These script pages follow the same path as those of Patrick Swayze and Sylvester Stallone where Tallahassee had a lot of respect and love for their work, and then ended up being disappointed by them. However, in this case, it wasn't about a bad movie that Kevin Bacon made. No, instead, Tallahassee ended up shunning Kevin Bacon because of his full frontal nude scene in Wild Things. Basically, "Kevin's bacon" was so impressive that it embarrassed Tallahassee, and he never forgave the Footloose star.
Previously, it was Mark Hamill's version of the cameo that didn't quite feel up to snuff. But I think the Jean-Claude Van Damme version is now the worst alternate version of the cameo. There are so few good references to his movies here. JCVD doesn't even have a movie in his home theater DVD player. Instead, Tallahassee makes shadow puppets from the movie projector for Little Rock. And since JCVD doesn't really have a soundtrack or theme that's famous from any of his movies, the music gag just uses generic tunes for the scene. It's a bare bones version of the script that would have had some comedy come from JCVD's physicality, but the rest of the jokes in the scene are wasted.

He saw my wiener."
Hardy was also in the Dark Knight Rises, but he exposed his nudity in the biopic Bronson. The actor played infamous prisoner Michael Gordon Peterson aka Charles Bronson and stripped down naked to perform some of his fight scenes.
Keitel had a few scenes in The Piano, coincidentally surrounding the use of his piano. He cleaned his instrument naked and received sexual favors from Ada ( Holly Hunter ) in exchange for her use of it.
Throughout cinema history, there have been some iconic nude scenes that have transcended the bounds of the films in which they appeared. Our weekly column Anatomy of a Scene's Manatomy will take an in-depth look at these scenes, their history, their deeper meanings, and their legacy. This week, Kevin Bacon manages to steal Wild Things right out from under his younger, sexier co-stars!
Now, this wasn't the first time that Bacon had show his non-kosher delicacy on film. He had been nude four times prior to Wild Things, including full frontal scenes in both Pyrates and Murder in the First. Perhaps because it came in such a high profile film, not to mention a much sexier context than Murder in the First, but horny dudes flocking to see Denise Richards and Neve Campbell have a threesome were thrown for a loop when confronted, thirty minutes later, by Bacon's fluffed member.
