In defence of her reputation I should stress that the random order of KM UK’s Summer Of HD 2014 means that last week’s Dog Day Afternoons was, in ‘reality’ 9 episodes before this one, what ever that equated to in the Cold Case universe. Plus, motorbike man Ray had his ulterior motive for turning up and was not seen again until early in season 4, where he complicates things further. In the ‘cons column’ of marks against Lil’s new distraction is the fact that he’s a dead guy!
Credit to the editors over at the very useful Cold Case Wiki (link always in the list on right) for spotting not only the similarities between Joseph and the 1944 film Laura, but some of the nods to the film within the episode such as the name of one of the cats.
The recent death of Joseph Shaw, a councillor working with teenage drug addicts, is re-evaluated when his credit card is used. Going through the evidence our Lilly is quite taken with the photo of the victim. We know she always takes cases to heart but this case took her heart. After discovering the surprising truth Lilly went a bit rogue. And when found out she went a bit rouge (I’ve wait years to make that joke!). Scotty tried to offer his support. Lt. John Stillman was less happy. Many episodes end with Lilly seeing the ‘ghost’ of the victim. In this one she starting ‘seeing’ the victim. She really ‘knocked on his door’ nudge-nudge, wink-wink 😉
We now have 388 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps and 5 high quality still photos from Joseph in the Gallery, cats included.
Last weekend saw a screening of the short film The Coin at the Scarborough Film Festival in Canada. Tianna, one of KM UK’s long-standing regulars, attended the event and saw the film. She very kindly agreed to write about the experience for us. Thank you Tee.
So, without further ado I’ll leave you in the capable hands of Tianna.

Scarborough Film Festival, Toronto, Ontario, Canada – June 2014
Good afternoon! My name is Tianna; I’m a 20 year old broadcast media student from Toronto, Canada. I’ve been a Kathryn Morris fan for about 8 years and a member of KMUK for 5 years. RichE asked me to write about my recent experience as a volunteer at the 2nd annual Scarborough Film Festival!
This festival featured 30 films from over 20 different countries and was supported by local and national businesses and associations. The Prime Minister of Canada even sent his well wishes for the festivals success! And a success it was! We had hundreds of people attend film screenings from June 3rd – June 8th!
As you may have heard, a short film called “The Coin” featuring Kathryn was featured. Director Fabien Martorell submitted his 9 minute short and I happened to be volunteering the night it was screening. I was able to sneak away and watch Kathryn on the big screen with my popcorn in hand!
As far as the film goes, it was pretty much everything you see in the trailer. Kathryn’s character scolding her young son while driving to the store. When they pull in to the parking lot, she shouts at the child to remove his seatbelt. After looking into the boys fearful eyes, Kathryn glances into the rearview mirror and internally reflects on her behaviour with such a sadness in her eyes – It was truly moving. As if not to let her guard down and show the boy her vulnerable side, she snaps at him once more to exit the car. The rest, as you’ve seen in the trailer, is the homeless man (Christopher Lloyd) comforting the the child and giving him a “magical coin” to remember he is not a bad boy, but a good one!
Overall the film was really sweet and showed a very different side of Kathryn’s acting capability! Hopefully soon the film will be made available for the rest of you to see!
Thanks again to Tianna.

From a non-French speaking part of Canada to an area well known for its usage of the French language… France (obviously).
Today (11th June) marks the start of the Champs-Élysées Film Festival. It is running until next Tuesday (the 17th) in various venues on or near the famous road in Paris.
Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin gets a second-home screening (because Fabien is French) on Friday (13th) evening at the MK2 Grand Palais, which is near to the Place de la Concorde.
Unlike the recent Scarborough Film Festival where they took the slightly unusual step of pairing it with a feature film, the CE Film Festival is showing The Coin with 5 other American short films in a screening starting at 8:45pm. The six are in competition under the “American Selection, Non School-Related” banner (aka the “Courts Métrages Américains (Hors écoles)” in French). American film schools, such at the AFI, get their own section.
Not quite sure how this fits into that “American” theme but one of that rival quintet is a short called Insomniacs by Charles Chintzer Lai, which is set is London and co-stars the English rose Imogen Stubbs (who I haven’t seen anything for far too long).
The official Champs-Élysées Film Festival website HERE (now available in English) has all the info you could possibly want.
Joseph took one of the less surprising wins so far in last week’s poll for KM UK’s Summer Of HD for 2014. Get the goods on that episode next week.
There being 23 episodes in season 3 of Cold Case and each poll is made up of 3 choices meant the maths didn’t quite work. So, for this last poll of the initial run through we are down to the two remaining ones. It makes it a simple yes/no, left/right, up/down, night/day, zero/one, Lewis/Nico, Kylie/Dannii, United/City choice between Frank’s Best and Sanctuary. Go!
Short film The Coin is heading South for the summer as it has been selected to be shown at the San Antonio Film Festival which is held, surprise surprise, in San Antonio, Texas.
The festival runs from Monday the 28th of July for a full seven days until Sunday the 3rd of August.
A schedule has not yet been released so we can’t yet say when The Coin will be shown. I’ll bring you more on that when it happens.
What we do know is that Fabien Martorell’s 9 minute long film will be sharing the billing with 40 other shorts. There are also an impressive 22 feature films announced to be shown. I’ve not had a chance to go through the list so I don’t know if any are premières.
At this point I’d link to the festival’s official website HERE and say it has more details, but there is not a lot there about the 2014 festival at the time of writing.
Thanks again to Fabien for letting us know about this.
