CULTURE: Marilyn Manson's "PHANTASMAGORIA"

Bookninja points to Wikipedia's entry for Marilyn Manson's 2006 cinematic work-in-progress, "PHANTASMAGORIA," a series of four short films inspired by the "visions of Lewis Carroll." According to the entry for "PHANTASMAGORIA," the films will be released on Manson's website, will be followed by a feature film, and are the product of his "Celebritarian Corporation" neo-art movement.

Um... well okay then.

interesting... I'll see if, hopefully its good too.

I just want him tour one last time.
My ex and I hit all his shows, now he is getting married.
It would be our last hurrah!

Isn't that... "incest?"

The film that came with "Golden Age of Grotesque" was certainly interesting...

I believe it was called Doppleherse (sp?)

...In any case, this should be interesting to say the least.

Good or bad, I have to say: I. Must. See. This. It's like a compulsion. I can't fight it.

Hail Satan. This is a must see type of event.

Ugh "reinvisioning" Lewis Carroll has been done... and done. The word passe comes to mind.

I used to like Manson, back before he broke into the mainstream. Then he got so incredible full of himself that I just had to stop listening.

If it's anything like Doppelherz, it's going to be awesome.

Where's Tipper Gore when you need her..

Obligatory "I liked him before he was popular" comment: check!

I always liked Phantasmagoria, I'm not much of a Manson fan but i have to admit he is weird enough to put some interesting twists to it

...It could be good or really suck......I like his videos but they are not done by him ;its an artist called Fiora Sigismondi...........diaS TAC ERIHSEHC

this is gonna suuuck

apart from this bit:

...which i can unashamedly say is the best idea ever

Exciting, mmm yeah

yesssss!!! ive been waiting for this.

Its funny because that movie is actually supposedly in pre-production, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. Which makes me want to vomit. But, granted, thats what imdb says and not very reliable.

But Jesus, I would kill for a good American McGee's Alice movie.

That IMDB description sounds a bit cliched, Return to Oz anyone?

Manson's making these ridiculous claims about revolutionizing films. It reminds me of what Kerouac was saying about his play Beat Generation... "What I wanta do is re-do the theater and the cinema in America, give it a spontaneous dash, remove pre-conceptions of "situation" and let people rave on as they do in real life. That's what the play is: no plot in particular, no "meaning" in particular, just the way people are."

And the play's just awful. Virtually unreadable.
