Christina is on the cover and inside the August 2007 edition of C magazine! There is a lovely photo spread and Christina talks about Penelope, Speed Racer and her envolvement in RAINN. I’ve scanned the magazine and added it to our gallery as well added a few more rare scans! Check them out by clicking on the thumbnails below. I’m hoping to start working on some more movie captures for the next update. Keep checking back! :D

I’m making a quick update today. Since I have no internet, I’ve been scanning a lot of the magazines that I acquired throughout the years for this website. There is a bunch of stuff I haven’t seen online before, so I think you guys should get a kick out of them. I’m only putting a preview of what I actually added, since the list is so long, but check out the last uploads part for everything. :D

Also, since I’m still offline, I made all comments have to appear in moderation before they show up. So you can still comment here, it just won’t show up until I ok it. I’m hoping to get back online permanently in August, just in time for Penelope! I also want to thank the lovely ladies at Glamour Reese Witherspoon for making us their July site of the month! Here’s what they said about Confessions: “Confessions of Christina Ricci is a great site dedicated to Reese’s Penelope co-star. Always up-to-date and packed with all kinds of Christina Ricci goodies, Confessions is the one stop source for any admirer of this amazingly talented young actress.”

I finally added the captures from Black Snake Moan into our gallery! Sorry it took so long, but after I captured them all I ended up without internet. (I’ll get to that later. lol) I added 1662 HQ (1442 x 812) captures from the film as well as the rest of the special features from the DVD. Check them out by clicking on the thumbnails below.

As I mentioned earlier, I’m without internet right now (I’m currently at a Kinko’s) so I’m going to add as much as I can when I can add it. I am trying to get my internet back, but I will probably spend the rest of the month without a steady connection. So if updates aren’t regular, I’ll be making huge ones when I do get online. Thanks for hanging in there and keep checking back for a bunch more!

Webmaster’s note: Please note that the following article is pure speculation and will be treated as such until proven to be a fact.

Hollywood has been using chimpanzees for years and years, so you’d think they knew how to treat them. Sure, back in the early days there wasn’t as much monitoring of animal wrangling on film sets, but by now filmmakers certainly know what is right and wrong when it comes to possible animal abuse. For instance, nobody would ever beat a chimp. Right? Maybe not. If the allegations are correct, though, the chimpanzee playing ‘Chim-Chim’ in the Speed Racer movie has been hit. One thing that has been confirmed is that the animal bit a young actor, but Warner Bros. claims that no harm has come to the chimp. PETA has heard differently, however, and the animal rights organization has asked producer Joel Silver to replace the live animal with an animatronic chimpanzee.

When a film production uses live animals, it is supposed to have a representative from the American Humane Society watching over the care and treatment of them. The AHS even has a part of its website that loosely details a movie’s ‘featured animal scenes’ and whether or not a movie gets the ‘no animals were harmed’ stamp. Occasionally animals do die on set, or they may be unintentionally injured, but otherwise, the AHS maintains that animals like the Speed Racer chimp are taken good care of (and they apparently prefer animal stars to animatronic stars). Despite Warners’ assurances that the AHS has seen no animal abuse with Speed Racer, PETA argues that the AHS is not monitoring off-set abuse nor pre-production training of the animal. In a final response to the studio, PETA stated, “we regret to say that the assurances you offer are meaningless.”
