MARILYN MANSON, EVERY DAD'S WORST NIGHTMARE
Marilyn Manson decided to premiere his new video on the Web, and after watching it's easy to see why. This is one clip that definitely falls under the "Not Safe for Kids" category. Just like Mr. Manson.
The video for the single "Heart Shaped Glasses," stars Manson and his new squeeze, 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood. And they are getting it on, I mean really getting it on. (The camera never ventures below the waist, but Wood's screams seem rather, um, genuine.) The eight-minute clip made its world premiere on the German Web site Sevenload on Tuesday.
Aside from the shock value of simulated sex (some of which features the two lovebirds drenched in blood), the clip certainly has some aesthetic merit, featuring rich, red visuals and a Lynchian tone -- think of it as a homage to hearts: Wild at Heart, Angel Heart, and Lolita. Ms. Wood's heart-shaped glasses of the title are an obvious homage to Mr. Nabokov.
Then again, many will come away thinking it's just cheap shlock.
Whatever your opinion, you'll probably agree that Ms. Wood's days as a cherubic Hollywood teen are certainly in the rearview mirror.
