Yeah, the animation does stop, you can also click the middle of it to skip it.
And yeah, that's a great find lol

This is definitely an ARG. I mean, what else can it be? it's too freaky to be anything else!

Marilyn Manson is a rock musician/director/artist/the-man-everybody-blames-for-anything-bad-that-happens-in-the-world
He's sadly underappreciated, though.

First, Goth pagans FTW (i was one in HS as well. of course, as I grew older and finished HS, I dropped a hefty portion of the goth look, still as pagan as ever tho).

But anyhoo, the mini-ARGs I mentioned were the extremely well-hidden website addys in the album booklets. Sometimes they'd lead you through a merry chase of the clues and wordplay that made Manson famous, and other times they'd just be artwork. Maybe "ARG" isn't the right word for it, since there's little to be done outside of the internet, except to actually locate the URLs.

I'll have to disagree on your implication that Holy Wood and GAOG were underwhelming though (not saying your wrong, music is relative to the listener). I found Holy Wood to be the perfect ending to the Triptych's story, the second half of the album is absolutely beautiful. And GOAG, despite being terribly disjointed and aimless, was just a good rock album lol.

BTW, where'd you hear that he's redoing Rocky Horror? I thought his only directorial project coming up was his Lewis Carrol one.

first - yes, ARG was not the right word, he didn't do "Alternate reality games" he did "easter eggs".

pure rumor as of right now, however not a rumor manson himself started, and one that has been going on and off for years. Once upon a time, the concept was supposedly scrapped... But it seems it may be "on again" with the remake hell the industry is going through right now {for more remake hell info, see the trailer for "day fo the dead remake" also on B-D}

what is FTW? And was basically raised pagan, not a highskool convert.

For more info, perhaps PMing might be the better way. We disagree on a few many things, and my thread jack is getting out of hand.

Awww... I don't know much about Marilyn Manson, and was learning so much there. Ah well. You could always have moved it to a Various and Sundry thread instead. I still think the guy's music is impressive, though I won't claim to know any of the lyrics (and I may retract that statement, heh).
