It's a Criterion Christmas! I'll be using Meeting the Criterion as a convenient way of reminding you of many of the Criterion Collections great releases from the last year. Whether your Criterion Collection is organized by spine number, title or director there's a good chance you'll see some releases that are bound to end up on your must remember to get list. Older documentaries about war are easy to dismiss as old news, or bland history lessons. Indeed the endless spate of politicized docs makes it difficult for any film to rise above the white noise or do more than preach to the choir these days. But neither the passage of time or the now obvious point of view espoused by Peter Davis' Hearts and...

Forget supermodels or red carpet darlings. Rocker Marilyn Manson is the new face of Saint Laurent's latest ads. Yep, it may be April Fools' Day, but this is no joke. The proof? On Friday, Scene magazine's Peter Davis shared an actual campaign photo of the edgy musician via Facebook, along with the message, "Marilyn Manson in the new Saint Laurent ads. Thoughts?" Well, for starters, Hedi Slimane's pick of the '90s shock-rocker may not be as surprising as it seems. The designer's latest fall/winter collection was particularly grunge-heavy (think babydoll dresses and plaid shirts galore), and he tapped musicians, like Beck and Sky Ferreira, to front campaigns in the...

Hedi Slimane has been surprising us at every turn since taking over the mantle at Yves Saint Laurent, from his decision to axe "Yves" from the brand name to his collection of neo-grunge runway looks.
Now he's thrown us for a loop by casting an unexpected face in Saint Laurent's new ads: Marilyn Manson.
A photo of the new campaign was shared by both Nicola Formichetti and Scene's Peter Davis via social media, with Davis writing on Facebook: "Marilyn Manson in the new Saint Laurent ads. Thoughts?" On Instagram, Nicola wrote simple, "Amazing" with a slew of hashtags.
We can't say we saw this one coming, seeing as Manson isn't exactly a red carpet regular or fashion mag cover star. But he does fit the new profile Slimane's building for Saint Laurent: dark, edgy and slightly reminiscent of the '90s.
Then again, it remains to be seen if Manson's face will sell clothes.
