Mother’s Day Fan Art?

It’s just occurred to me that in a couple of weeks time (Sunday, May 11th) it will be Mother’s Day in the United States Of America.

Those of us in the UK don’t make our mothers wait so long, we get it done in March

As you may have noticed this website is dedicated to a certain special lady (I realise it is only subtly referred to ). This year she gets to celebrate Mother’s Day for the first time as a mother herself. No doubt she’ll be receiving two cards with suspiciously grown-up, yet child-like, handwriting from two boys that, let’s be honest, probably haven’t quite mastered the finer points of calligraphy.

With just two weeks to go do you think you (yes, you) could come up with some suitably themed fan art to publish here on the day?

It’s been a while since we did fan art here and it would be a wonderful way to revisit it and celebrate a new occasion at the same time. The KM UK Gallery, which includes an extensive fan art section, contains thousands of images you could use as a basis.

You can contact me via the normal methods or upload your works of art using the form below.

Thank you in advance.

Coming Soon – Summer Of HD 2014

Do you want the good news or the bad news?

I’m hearing “bad news” so bad news it is.

Last year’s Summer Of HD was based around season 2 of Cold Case because you, dear reader, chose it in a poll. I’ve got the post to prove it, so don’t deny it. The bad news is it that that means you get season 3 this year.

The good news is that KM UK’s Summer Of HD for 2014 is all about season 3 of Cold Case

As most of you will be familiar with by now the Summer Of HD is a chance to revisit Cold Case and update the site’s Gallery with new HD screencaps covering Kathryn’s role of Lilly in the show. Along the way they’ll be a few extras thrown in.

In a new twist for 2014 you get to decide which CC episodes we do. OK, we’re still doing them all but you get to have some say in the order they are posted. Yay! for you! Each week there will be poll with three episodes to chose from. The poll will run for one week and the winning episode featured the week after that.

So, this week we run the poll for Summer Of HD week 1. Chose your favourite from the three below. Next week come back to vote for week 2. Seven days later the first of our episodes posts will include the poll for week 3. Got it? Then let us begin our journey:

Summer Of HD 2014 - Week 1

Ep 18 - Wilkommen (60%, 3 Votes)
Ep 3 - Bad Night (40%, 2 Votes)
Ep 11 - 8 Years (0%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 5

Hell Swarm

It’s a double bank holiday weekend so prepare for rain.

Going through my very long to-do list for KM UK I realised that I have never written here about Hell Swarm, despite screencaps from it being in the Gallery from day one. It’s been a while since the last one so it is time for another of my “it’s been in the Gallery from the beginning but I’ve never written about it here” posts.

I sat down to write a lengthy review of it, and even re-watch the film if necessary, and then I realised that I’d written a review ages ago for the Look Again Cold Case fan site. So, along with having the screencaps already, I don’t need to write anything new. Result! It turned into a Good Friday after all

You can read my particularly entertaining take on Hell Swarm HERE.

However, to prove I’ve done something new for this post I have sweetened the deal a little with a set of small video clips and a couple of miscellaneous images.

All the Hell Swarm goodness/badness can be found in the Gallery.

Oh yes, Happy Easter/Friday/Saturday.

Kathryn @ Toyota Pro/Celeb Race Day – April 2007

Oops! I’m sure that’ll polish right out! 😯

That was from the practise day so no worries.

Three weeks after the training it was race day. On this day (14th Apr) in 2007 (it was a Sunday that year) Kathryn took part in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity race in aid of the Racing For Kids charity that supports local children’s hospitals. Last year we brought you a photo of Kathryn and George Lucas visiting one of those hospitals that receives funding a few days before the race.

As well are four more photos from the weekend we have two videos. One is from the practise day. The second a longish highlights show covering the race. Kathryn features multiple times in both videos so try and watch them all the way through. Find it all in the KM UK Gallery.

Thanks to Jan Wagner at the Automatters website for allowing KM UK to post their photos.

In the race Kathryn finished a creditable 13th out of the 17 taking part. Not bad on her first ever race. Dave Mirra (BMX racer) won outright despite coming up through the field from 30 seconds behind with the other Pros Bucky Lasek (X Games winner) and Scott Kelly (drag racer). Tennis legend and returnee to the event, Martina Navratilova, was 2nd (1st celeb) and Joshua Morrow (The Young And The Restless) was third. George Lucas continued to disappoint in spectacular fashion by crashing out and taking innocent victim Annamarie Dean (charity fund raiser) with him. Kathryn and Emily Proctor (CSI: Miami) weren’t able to put the first part of their evil plan into play. We don’t know if the managed the second part. Watch the video to find out more.

The 2014 version of the event happened yesterday (13th April) and was won by returnee Brett Davern, who finished 2nd last year. Brett will be known to Cold Case viewers as Lilly Rush’s half-brother Finn Cooper. Currently Brett can be seen in the TV show Awkward. (with a full-stop).

Kathryn @ Toyota Race Training – March 2007

The start of a new season raises thoughts of the prospects it brings. All the changes to come. So many possibilities. The sights, the sounds (or lack of), the smells. The ugly noses!

What?!? Spring? No, I meant the 2014 season of Formula One that kicked-off in Melbourne, Australia, the weekend before last. It’s a new era for the sport with massive technical changes signalling a move towards more advanced power-trains to increase the relevance to road cars. And ugly noses.

Naturally when considering the opening of a new fight for the F1 World Championship (and very much NOT the ugly noses) one’s mind turns to Kathryn. No? Just me then?

Seven years go (that’s 2007 for those thinking about taking their socks off at this point) Kathryn was invited to take part in a Pro/Celebrity Race which features at the Long Beach Grand Prix each April. The event is backed by Toyota and is run to raise money for the Racing For Kids charity which supports children’s hospitals in the area.

March 17th was where those taking part that year met for initial training in handling a car on a race track. With Kathryn were tennis legend Martina Navratilova, X-Games star Dave Mirra, actor/singer Joshua Morrow (The Young And The Restless), ‘model’ Kendra Wilkinson, actress Kelly Hu (Arrow), actress Aisha Tyler (Friends), radio personality Robin Quivers (The Howard Stern Show), film director George Lucas (Star Wars), and actress Emily Procter (CSI: Miami).

The training was done at the Willow Springs International Raceway in California using the same Toyota Scion tC cars that were used in the race. The Scion range is only sold in North America, though in some cases the cars are available elsewhere in the world under different names. The front engined, front wheel drive Scion tC was the model used for the Pro/Celeb races from 2006 to 2012 and has been replaced by the FR-S (aka the more racey rear wheel drive Toyota 86/GT86/FT86). If you want to you can follow in Kathryn’s wheel tracks without even leaving your sofa as the Willow Springs circuit features in the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6. The Scion tC doesn’t. George Lucas has a history with the track. No, it wasn’t used for the podrace in SW: Episode 1, it is where he made one of his first films: 1:42.08. Also, the British TV show Top Gear filmed a segment there in 2013 which saw the presenters chased by aeroplanes. Silly boys.

The 2014 Long Beach Grand Prix is due to take place on Sunday the 13th of April. This year the likes of Adrien Brody (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), Lilly Rush’s half-brother on Cold Case Brett Davern, and Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) are getting behind wheel for charity.

Sartorial elegance was not the order of the day but Kathryn still looked adorable as further shown in 12 new photos from the training day. We also have 2 small videos. One is brief interviews with some of the guest drivers. The other is just general footage from the day, which doesn’t noticeably feature Kathryn until the very end. They’ve all been added to the existing set in the KM UK Gallery.
