LISTENShock rock king Marilyn Manson told Steppin' Out magazine late last year that his new CD, "The High End of Low," was "very ruthless, very heavy and very violent."
Yikes.
He may be right. The title of the disc's first radio single -- yes, something meant to be played on the radio -- is unprintable in a family newspaper, and Manson told Rolling Stone's blog that the video for "I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies" is ... nine minutes long. Severely sadist. Basically it's murder, sex, death, the end."
Double yikes.
Manson is once again reunited with longtime bandmate Twiggy Ramirez and will be touring behind the new album, though only European dates have been booked.
Consider yourself warned.
WATCH
Remember back in the day, waaaay back before cable TV, when local programming was the only thing available, and a big part of these stations' broadcast day was older movies?
Remember how you would get the TV Guide, scanning and highlighting all the movies you wanted to watch that week? No? It was just us and the nerdy guy who had a crush on Elaine in that episode of "Seinfeld"?
Well, our prayers have been answered by thisTV, a relatively new cable network that specializes in broadcasting movies from the MGM and United Artists' vaults.
Got a hankering to watch "Count Yorga, Vampire," from 1970? Done. Need to get your Burt Reynolds-Jack Weston-Raquel Welch fix by catching 1972's "Fuzz?" It's there.
Movies range from the Depression-era up to more contemporary fare, and the network also airs TV shows like "The Patty Duke Show," "Mister Ed," the original "Outer Limits" and more. Bright House digital customers can watch on Channel 1181.
Now, if you'll excuse us, the moonshiner melodrama "White Lightning" is on tonight, and we must prepare.
READ
Come on, if you could possess a mutant gene that allowed you to control the weather or sap other people's abilities by merely touching them, you'd say "Bring it on!"
Not so fast, say the university professors writing in "X-Men and Philosophy: Astonishing Insight and Uncanny Argument in the Mutant X-Verse."
This new collection of essays examines such thorny issues as: Do mutants have "human" rights? Is mind reading an invasion of privacy? How should Jean "Phoenix" Grey navigate her feelings for her husband, Cyclops, and that sexy stud-muffin, Wolverine, while dealing with her guilt for allowing her Dark Phoenix side to destroy an entire world?
Yes, it takes a gaggle of professors, citing Nietzsche, Kant, Camus and other heavyweight philosophers, to explore the answers to such thorny issues.
"X-Men and Philosophy," edited by Rebecca Housel and J. Jeremy Wisnewski, is available in bookstores now. Check out wiley.com for other titles in the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series.
