The Coin @ Champs-Élysées Film Festival – But When?

poster_001The organisers of the Champs-Élysées Film Festival in Paris have released the schedule for the upcoming 2014 event.

champs_elysees_film_festival_1447x2048Starting on the 11th June 2014 (a Wednesday) it runs for 7 days across 7 venues along, not surprisingly, the Avenue des Champs-Elysees between the world famous Arc de Triomphe and Place de la Concorde square which contains the Luxor Obelisk.

The short film The Coin will be shown at the festival as part of a collection under the banner Courts Métrages Américains (Hors écoles), which translates as ‘American Short Films (excluding schools)’.  I presume that submissions by students are dealt with separately.

Lucky for some the screening takes place on Friday the 13th of June at the MK2 Grand Palais, which is near the Place de la Concorde end of the avenue.

The Coin, co-starring Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) and by writer/director/produer Fabien Martorell, shares the bill with 5 other short films in a screening starting 8:45pm.

It appears that the screening is a one off, with no repeat viewings on the schedule.

You can find all the details on the festival website HERE (so far it is only in French, an English version is promised in a couple of weeks).

Cold Case S03E12 – Detention HD Screencaps

Cold_Case_S03E12_lilly_181Somebody’s been naughty!  (please let it be Lilly, please let it be Lilly 😉 )

I definitely can’t picture Lilly as a bad girl.  No sir-eee Bob.  Not me.  Never.  OK, maybe once… or twice 😮

In this, the second entry in the 2014 edition of KM UK’s Summer Of HD as voted for by you, we find ourselves in Detention.

The year was 1994 and a teenage boy killed himself by jumping off the school roof whilst he was supposed to be in detention with several other students.  The discovery of an additional part of his suicide note casts doubt on his reasons.  When the CC squad find the naughty four used the old ‘sit still while being recorded and loop the tape’ trick as almost pulled off by Keanu in Speed (and if he can do it, it can’t be that hard) it brings raises even more questions.

Any similarities to the Breakfast Club are purely deliberate.

184 HD (720p) new Lilly screencaps and 5 stills and promo photos are now in the Gallery.

Happy Mother’s Day Kathryn – Update

banner_171_467x153_ginaFrom everyone here at KM UK

It is not often we get the chance to inaugurate a new annual event on this site.  Today we do.

Following what we’ll call “the incident” Kathryn became a mother to twin boys last year, making this her first Mother’s Day as a mother.  In America, and many other parts of the world, today (11th May 2014) is Mother’s Day.

KM UK stalwart Gina (aka Lolly) has very kindly put together some lovely graphical and musical accompaniments to help us mark the occasion.

On the visual front you can see a banner, avatar and wallpaper Gina has made around this post.  All three have joined the multitude of Fan Art in the Gallery.  As a treat for the ears she has also compiled a playlist of songs inspired by Kathryn’s new found parental status.  You can listen to the chosen songs HERE on the 8track website.  Thank you for doing this Gina.

Update (12 May): Johnny Messner (Kathryn’s partner and father of her twin boys) sent the following Tweet to his followers yesterday:

Happy Mother’s Day everyone ! I watch Kathryn with our sons and I am in awe of what a amazing mother she is! Today is a beautiful day #love – Link

Kathryn @ Mother’s Day Salute To TV Moms – May 2008

038Sunday sees our American cousins (and many other parts of the world) celebrate Mother’s Day.  Here in England we got the whole palava over with are so keen to honour our mothers that we mark the occasion in March.

The run-up to the American day in 2008 (also Sunday, May 11th as it is this year) saw Kathryn attend an event at the Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences saluting mothers seen on TV.

As you can see in the photo on the left Kathryn was there with the actress who played Lilly Rush’s on-screen mother, Meredith Baxter.  Although alluded to quite often Ellen Rush only appeared in 5 episodes from late in season 3 (Beautiful Little Fool) to the end of season 4 (Stalker) before her death, which only added to Lilly’s woes.

Thankfully, the wonderful Meredith is still with us and continues to work mainly on TV, such as guest starring in TV shows like Glee as she did last year.  Speaking of on-screen mothers, as we most definitely are, Meredith famously starred as Michael J Fox’s mother in the series Family Ties and then repeated the feat with a guest role in the comedy Spin City, in which her character dated the Mayor of New York as played by Barry Bostwick (Cold Case episode Creatures Of The Night).

A little like Ellen Rush, Meredith has had her relationship troubles having been married a total of four times and had 5 children.  In 2009 Meredith came out as a lesbian.  A decade early she underwent treatment for breast cancer.

Anyway, back to our always-yummy-but-only-recently-a-mummy favourite ‘yummy mummy’ we have 12 additional photos of Kathryn at the Mother’s Day Salute To TV Moms event from May 2008 now in the KM UK Gallery.

Kathryn and mothers everywhere, we salute you.
