So, what do we have up for judging this week? Perfect Day, Superstar and The River all return for a second crack at victory. You know what to do.
So, where was I? Or, where should I have been? Ah yes, Colors. American dramas such as Cold Case really like their baseball themed episodes don’t they? I can see they are a rich vein for stories as it is an American national sport and is played by everyone from young children to highly paid professional athletes. There is lots of scope for tales of improving ones circumstances (aka ‘The American Dream’™) and over-coming adversity. They also allow for exploring the darker elements of jealous, hate and greed as well. Colors presents the case of a murdered young black baseball player from 1945. Clyde Taylor had been very successful in the segregated Negro leagues and was on the verge of moving to the majors, a big issue in those days. 60 years on can the squad track down his killer? If only they’d ended the episode (number of four of Cold Case season three) with a montage of the police team playing baseball… Oh well, maybe later We didn’t quite crack the century with this set of 99 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps for the KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 now in the Gallery.
Well, slightly different… ish. I thought that today, what with it being a Friday, was a good day to post something a little more unusual. What you see on the right is a sketch of Kathryn done in pastels by artist Dan Moroboshi. I found it on the Flickr photo-sharing website and asked Dan if would allow me to share it with you all here on KM UK. He generously agreed. Thank you Dan. You can find more of Dan’s work on his Flickr page here. And you can find a large-sized copy of the sketch in the Drawings section of KM UK’s Fan Art in our Gallery here. If you would like to see your own Kathryn-themed work posted on this site then please contact me, we’d love to see what you can do. In case you didn’t get it the subject is supposed to be a play on the name of the (currently) popular kids toy Moshi Monsters. Kids today don’t know how lucky they are… In my day I had to work 25 hours a day and eat gravel… Gravel? You were lucky. We had to eat poison… What? You try coming up with witty and relevant subject lines!
Just a quick reminder that The Coin will be screened as part of the ‘Local Shorts’ programme at the Egyptian Theatre, Hollywood, tomorrow night (17th July). ‘ ‘Shorts’ because none of the films are particularly long, but then you knew that. The longest two on the bill of eight are listed as 20 minutes in duration. The total running time looks to be around 90 minutes, give or take. As mentioned previously the event starts at 7:30pm at the Hollywood Boulevard-located theatre. More details and ticket booking facilities can be found on the American Cinematheque website.
Which will triumph this time? There’s only one way to find out… VOTE!

Local’ because the film makers are all based locally, though, like The Coin‘s writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell they may not all be born/bred in the region.
