Marilyn Manson is not exactly a conformist. From his music - a meat grinder full of electronica, metal and gothic grotesquerie - to his personal traits (because of his nocturnal habits, he was available to speak to TIME only after midnight E.T.), he's managed to confound his critics and fans alike. Is he the satanic Pied Piper of angst-ridden teen nihilists? Or a sly, self-promoting performance artist? Either way, he's long been a lightning rod for controversy, only fueled by his sold-out tours and multiplatinum-selling albums. Now, after taking a yearlong absence from an industry...

After 60 history-making years in film, he deserved better, as did Suleiman and Almodóvar. Guys, we love ya, you're great, but you're no Brillante Mendoza...
Former industrial-school resident Quinn says he didn't speak to anyone about his experiences for more than 30 years. It was only after the first wave of scandals broke in the '90s that he felt able to tell his story. "Years ago, if I had mentioned to anyone here what had happened, no one would have believed me," he says. "Everyone here thought that whatever a priest or a brother said was the gospel truth. It's only since all of this blew up that people started saying to me, 'Did that really happen in the schools...
