Really Naming Names – 800th Post

people_20130917_002people_20130917_001people_20130917_003

Let’s try this again.

People Magazine’s website is name dropping and the names in question are Jameson West Messner and Rocco McQueen Messner.

Yes, those are the names of Kathryn and Johnny’s twin boys.

The choices are described as “a combination of several family names” and “represents everything Johnny’s about” respectively.

Read the article in full on the People Magazine website HERE.  The full text has been added below.

KM UK marks its own little milestone:  this is the 800th post.

Cold Case S02E20 – Kensington HD Screencaps

Cold_Case_S02E20_lilly_012James Hogan from Sherry Darlin’ (season 1, episode 9) requests an audience with her Lillyness.  She grants his wish.  Well, she visits him in jail for Kensington, the latest edition of KM UK’s Summer Of HD for 2013.

Hogan’s turned informer on a now released fellow inmate who confessed in a group therapy session to a crime in 2005.  As it happens the victim was Hogan’s uncle, who lived in the Kensington area of Philly like James, and the perp stole money from his dead body.  What was thought to be a murder as part of a basic robbery just became something else.

208 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps and a promo still (below right) from the episode are now in the Gallery.

No Rush

toy_drive_001There’s been a lot mentions in the press recently about a new film coming out today in the UK (next week in the US) called Rush.

An attractive blond lead backed up by a successful team.  A cold, calculating opponent overcoming horrific injuries to try and take what he believes is rightfully his.  A dramatic showdown in wet and darkening conditions.  Flashbacks to a bygone era when men were men and women were as well.  That can’t be right.  When men were women and women were men…  Hang on, I’ll get this right.  When men were men and women were women.  Not unlike today really.  That phrase never made sense :-)

Anyway, all the ingredients seem to be there for a great Cold Case movie.

I looked into it further.  Turns out it is about two motor racing drivers from the 1970s, and not our favourite female detective :-(

:-)

The 13th is definitely not lucky for us.

In all seriousness, the story of the 1976 Formula 1 World Championship battle between James Hunt and Niki Lauda is a fascinating one.  The Ron Howard (Apollo 13) directed, Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon) scripted film starring Chris Hemsworth (Avengers Assemble) as James Hunt and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) as Niki Lauda has received wide critical acclaim.  Worth a watch even if you aren’t a follower of the sport.

A Time For Heroes Celeb Carnival 2005

elizabeth_glaser_002The title of this occasion (or at least part of if) seemed a fitting follow-on from the anniversary marked yesterday of the 9/11 tragedies.  We should not forget that events like those are not just about those lost, but those that acted heroically in putting others first.

Of course, this particular charitable event we are looking at today was not about that day in September 2001.

‘Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation A Time For Heroes Celebrity Carnival’ is an annual event to raise funding and awareness for the cause of HIV and AIDS in children, focusing mainly on Africa and India.  Founder Elizabeth Glaser herself contracted HIV during a blood transfusion and unknowingly passed it on to her children.  Discovering that the then current treatments were solely aimed at adults drove her to set up the Pediatric AIDS Foundation.  Elizabeth spent the rest of her life advocating for the issue.

You can read more about the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation on their website HERE.

Back in June of 2005 Kathryn attended the Time For Heroes event.  Formal attire was clearly not required :-)  Not that Kathryn looked anything other than gorgeous in her more casual jeans, t-shirt, cardy and sneakers 😉

This is one that has been missing from the KM Gallery since its inception.  We’ll put that right today in some style with a small collection of photos and a couple of videos now in the Gallery.

Cold Case S02E19 – Strange Fruit HD Screencaps

Cold_Case_S02E19_lilly_11518 down and only 5 to go in the KM UK Summer Of HD 2013.

Will’s first cold case, and he wasn’t even a copper at the time.  Strange Fruit tells the story of a black teenager killed in 1963, around the time that Martin Luther King gave his “I have a dream” speech.  The 50th anniversary of that event was marked just a few weeks ago.

Jefferies (Thom Barry) was 12 when he found the body of Zeke Williams in an alleyway playground.  Zeke and his parents had recently moved to Philly for his father’s work as an aerospace engineer.  His senior position put him at odds with his white co-workers.  Zeke is growing up in a world where people like King are speaking out.  Things are changing.  Too quickly for some.  Too slowly for others.

152 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps from the episode can now be found in the Gallery.  The image above will, of course, be seen on a Facebook page near you soon :-)
