Marilyn Manson Uncanceled

It was announced Thursday January 17th 2025 that Film Director David Lynch died of emphysema at the age of 78, just a few days before his 79th birthday on Monday. Both Lindsay and Manson paid tribute to Lynch on Instagram, with Lindsay posting in her stories a broken heart under the poster for Wild at Heart and Manson posting the poster for Lost Highway with the message: "May you live forever inside our dreams." Manson and Lindsay have both said that Wild at Heart (1990) is their favorite Lynch film and favorite romance film, to the point where their wedding theme in 2020 was inspired by Wild at Heart , and they even invited Nicolas Cage, the star of the film, to attend, which he did via a video call. Also, a quote from the film spoken by Crispin Glover can be heard in the song "Lunchbox", when you hear: "I'm making my lunch!" Manson's first film appearance was as a snuff film pornstar along with bandmate Twiggy Ramirez in Lynch's film Lost ...

...continued from part one. II. PART ONE (A) In the first of three episodes for the docuseries Marilyn Manson: Unmasked , we are introduced to Marilyn Manson in a shocking way from the very beginning. I'm not sure the origins of the video clip, as I've never seen it before, but it is around 1995 and it shows him wearing an Adam Ant t-shirt with red lipstick smeared around the area of his mouth as he is being interviewed in a fairly crowded room of bandmates and groupies, while he randomly lights a fire in the middle of the floor. The first words spoken by Manson are the following: "Marilyn Manson is about transcending morality and sexuality; no boundaries, grey area - that's us." As he says this, two women are standing in front of him making out with each other. When he is asked: "Any accessories?" he replies: "Accessories? These two girls are accessories," pointing towards the two girls getting it on with each other who are now behind him. The...

  I. INTRODUCTION   In the first two minutes of part one of the three-part docuseries Marilyn Manson: Unmasked , you have a bunch of clips edited together to serve as an introduction to what you are about to see, and it is meant to put you into a mentality from the very beginning that Marilyn Manson is immoral, a deviant, a misogynist, dangerous, provocative, a pedophile, extreme, conflicted, a puppet master, manipulative, unpredictable and someone who brings out the worst in people, meanwhile this is someone "YouTubers" are defending for their own selfish gain. Then the credits roll to open the series. This is an example of media manipulation at its finest, a classic "moral panic" in which actual context is wiped out to establish the formulated narrative of the one doing the reporting. Indeed, Marilyn Manson has been the perfect scapegoat of what we can call a "moral panic" since the 1990's in various forms, being accused of dozens of evils by all so...

Last year at Marilyn Manson's 55th birthday party, he announced: "2024 is gonna be our year!", and indeed 2024 marked a successful comeback for Marilyn Manson in his career with the release of a new album and a North American tour. This year also he was able to celebrate his birthday on January 5th, surrounded by family and friends. Unlike the previous few birthday celebrations for Manson, this year his birthday also got a good amount of media attention, primarily due to some guests who showed up to celebrate him in Hollywood. Among those in attendance were The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan and James Iha, Filter’s Richard Patrick, Falling in Reverse’s Ronnie Radke, Mötley Crüe’s John 5 and Wednesday 13. Multiple people in attendance posted photos and video footage of the party, including the moment Manson was serenaded with "Happy Birthday To You" by everyone, with his wife Lindsay by his side. After blowing out the candles on his custom-made cake, he made a s...
