Kathryn Morris UK

AI: Artificial Intelligence – Saturday BBC2

It has been a while since I posted a KM UK Media Alert, making other people in the UK aware of an impending Kathryn related TV broadcast or such like. It has been even longer since one of them was about AI: Artificial Intelligence. Four years have passed since the British Broadcasting Corporation has sent the film over the airwaves to our telly boxes.

Assuming the live snooker coverage doesn’t massively over run AI should be hitting the screen at 10:45pm on Saturday, that’s the 7th of December 2013. Details can be found on the BBC’s website here.

AI: Artificial Intelligence was written (with others) and directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 2001. Haley Joel Osment plays a highly advanced robot boy who wants to become real so his mother will love him. He goes on a journey meeting various of strange characters.

Kathryn, unfortunately, only makes a very brief appearance in AI. Shoes and socks off you can pretty much count the seconds on all your available digits. There was, apparently, more that got left on the cutting room floor. Teenage Honey, as the character is called, is a presenter at the Flesh Fair, a sort of circus where humans watch robots being destroyed in a gladiatorial-style show.

Screencaps and a video clip from the movie can be found in the Gallery. At a later date I’ll cover the film more comprehensively.

She Can Win With A Minority…

Fellow UK-ite Ednasharon has used online opinion gatherer SodaHead to ask what must be one of the simplest questions ever:

Which stars from Minority Report, you like the best?

Grammatically it leaves a few questions to answer but you get the gist.

Surely their can only be one answer. Can’t there? Apparently not. Ednasharon believes there are 7! It must be one of those multiple choice questions where there is only a single correct answer. Along with the right answer there will be several very plausible but wrong ones, and there is usually an obviously silly answer. In this case it must be “Max von Sydow” because that is clearly a made up name

Let’s get this question answered for Ednasharon. She needs to know.

You can see the question and give the correct answer (it’s ‘Kathryn Morris’ by the way) on SodaHead HERE.

I feel compelled to point out that Ednasharon claims to be a retired, straight, 6′ 11″, 22 year-old, college graduate, with no kids, and is looking for dating (she lurks in the bushes?). Make of that what you will.

Xmas Advent Calendar 2013

Recovered from Thanksgiving yet? Had you got your blood-sugar levels down sufficiently from Halloween before hand?

Well, get on that treadmill, start pounding the pavement, or look in the back of the wardrobe/up in the loft for the Wii Fit Balance Board. We’re only few weeks from Xmas 😯

To aid your countdown to the big day KM UK has dusted off the Advent Calendar and filled it with pictures. Each day (assuming I remember) a new picture will be revealed. But what, I (didn’t) hear you ask, will be the theme for 2013?

With the events of the past year and the real meaning of Xmas… no, not chocolate! (and you can put thoughts of Xbox One/PS 4 out of your mind too)… there can only be one theme: Family.

Yes, for 2013 we’ve gathered together 25 pictures of Kathryn in the family way, so to speak. There will be images from Kathryn’s work on TV and film, as well as more recent photos. You can probably already guess what the headlining image will be but just play along for now please

The advent calendar is now available in the Gallery. A direct link has been added to the main menu on the right and will remain there for the duration.

Happy Thanksgiving 2013

Happy Thanksgiving from KM UK to Kathryn, her family, and all of our American friends

As much as I wish we could contain Xmas to within December at least, I fear that that horse has already bolted. It’s running wild.

We can lay blame for much of this on our cousins on the other side of the pond: the Americans. Their month-early celebrations for Thanksgiving must be at least partly responsible.

And on that note: Happy Thanksgiving

Cold Case Cast Catch-up – November 2013

john_finn_001_430x180 A CCCC-up is where I try and bring an update about the on-going careers of the stars of Cold Case that aren’t Kathryn. You may have noticed that I cover Kathryn’s work in greater detail in other posts on the site

Let’s start with the big man. The boss. Back in May John Finn (John Stillman in CC) filmed an Irish drama called An Bronntanas (previously mentioned here). The title translates as ‘the present’, as in gift. It was shot in Ireland and in Gaelic (the Irish language). The story revolves around the crew of a lifeboat working off the dangerous west coast of Ireland who find a dead woman and a huge stash of drugs on a boat. The show, if IMDb is to be believed, starts to air on the 28th of January next year. A date that means a lot to everyone on this site of course. Speaking of ‘believe’ John will be guest starring in at least one episode of an new upcoming drama series on the NBC network called Believe. The show is about a young girl with supernatural powers and an unlikely protector in the form of a death-row inmate broken out of prison especially for the job. The girl has supernatural powers which are growing stronger as she gets older. Her carers up till now have been a group known as the True Believers. The show’s creator, Alfonso Cuarón, has been in the media a lot recently because he produced/director/wrote a little movie starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney called Gravity. Despite that pedigree the programme was not picked up for the main fall/autumn season, but will air at some point in the new year. It has been a bit of rocky road to get here too, with original cast member Sienna Guillory (Luther) and showrunner/co-creator Mark Friedman leaving the production over the summer.
