I added scans from Japanese magazine, Roadshow into our gallery. It’s from 1995 and features a very cute photo shoot with Christina! She looks awesome! :D Check them out by clicking on the thumbnails below. I’m going to be adding videos and some captures for the next update, keep an eye out. ;)

Thanks to seltaeb65 from our forums for posting the following article from USA Today.

Emile Hirsch was 6 years old when he saw his first episode of the cartoon Speed Racer and, more important, caught a glimpse of the Mach 5.

“It was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen,” Hirsch says by phone from Germany, where filming will begin next week on the movie adaptation. “That’s when I started thinking it would be great to be on TV. And have one of those.”

Sixteen years later, he finally got behind the wheel of the speedster, which gets its first look here and will be at the heart of the film, due May 9, 2008.

“My first thought was, ‘Yeah, they got the car right,’ ” he says. “That’s one of the best things about the show, so it was always going to be one of the most important parts of the movie.”

That and the return of Andy and Larry Wachowski, the brothers who are making their first directorial effort since The Matrix trilogy.

I was finally able to add the rest of the magazine clippings into the gallery. Click on the thumbnails below to check them out! :)

I’ve started to add some more misc. scans into the gallery. I have another 30+ to upload but my internet is acting retarded right now and they won’t upload. :( I will be adding them as soon as I can. I also have some more stuff to scan, and I want to get to them a.s.a.p. But for now, you check out the link below and it will show you the last uploads in the “clippings” section. :)

I also wanted to apologize for the lack of updates here. Until the end of June (a week before Black Snake Moan is released on DVD! ;)) I will be really busy with school. Since school is my top priority right now (good time at school = more money in real life) I need to focus on doing well. I do get a 3 week summer break and I will be updating with captures from Black Snake Moan the week it is released, so just look forward to some summer fun! Until then, I will be updating when I can, with what I can. Thanks for visiting and look out for our super summer ahead! :D

I’ve added two new articles (from 2004) and a bunch of random clippings into the gallery. I have a lot more to add and a bunch more to scan, but I figured I would just chip away at them as I found time to. lol Click on the thumbnails to be taken to each album.

Thanks to ilovericci8 from our forums for the link to this interview!

A veteran of almost 40 films at the ripe old age of 27, Christina Ricci talks sex, work and therapy. And why she believes the role of Rae in Black Snake Moan has changed her forever…

You didn’t go to school with a Christina Ricci. You may have known an Anne Hathaway type, all sunshine smile and inviting warmth; you might have worshipped from afar a hard-bodied Jessica. But a Ricci? Only in Hollywood. Smart-mouthed by 10, presenting Oscars in her teens, independent before she could legally drink. Reinventing herself with each passing year: the precocious child who scowled like a grown up; the almost obscenely ripened Lolita; the waif-like starlet with tattoos inked on her breast, her back, her leg, her ankle, her hip, her ribcage and her wrist (a typically macabre Edward Gorey illustration that peeks out from her sleeve when she gesticulates).

Today, in an LA eatery so authentically Italian you know Tony Soprano would approve of the calzones, she takes a while to relax but, when she does, a planned brisk lunch turns into a chatty afternoon.

Thanks seltaeb65 at our forums for posting this following interview from Time Out: London.

At 27, Christina Ricci is a veteran of the film business. She started out as a child actor with films like ‘Mermaids’ (1990) and ‘The Addams Family’ (1991) before developing a knack for playing mouthy teenagers and vulnerable women in films like ‘Buffalo 66’ (1998), ‘The Opposite of Sex’ (1998) and ‘Monster’ (2003). She bares all in Craig Brewer’s ‘Black Snake Moan’ as Rae, a wild young woman in the deep south who treats her body with zero respect until she meets Lazarus (Samuel L Jackson), an ageing divorcee who decides to teach her a lesson by chaining her to a radiator in his front-room.

Your character in ‘Black Snake Moan’ is a right old mess.
Yeah, she’s got a few problems. A few issues. She’s a girl suffering from post-traumatic stress from a childhood full of rape and abuse. But because her abuse when she was a child was sexual, then she looks to sexually abuse herself. It’s a way that a lot of victims have of stopping it from happening again: they do it to themselves. They’re the ones in control, degrading themselves, and abusing themselves, and no one else can have that power over them again.

That’s usually what happens to kids who go through that, unless they get help. She has these anxiety attacks. and usually if someone’s anxiety attacks are not treated then they will start drinking or cutting themselves – or something else that’s self-abusive.
