Cougars, Inc. Straight To DVD In US?

DVD logoThe increasingly inaccurate December 20th release date has finally been removed from the IMDb page of Kathryn’s long awaited movie Cougars, Inc.!  And it’s been replaced with… not a lot.

However, a recent change to the release details page suggests it may be getting what used to be called a “straight to video” release.  The page now lists the USA release of Cougars, Inc. as being a “DVD premiere” in 2011.  That is to say no cinema distribution at all.

Of course, this could be wrong, as I’m sure we all hope it is.  However, with this and the previously reported possible German Blu-ray/DVD release in April, the chances of a theatrical début appear to be slipping away with each little additional piece of news.

We are still waiting for more official confirmation of anything related to the movie’s release.

KM UK Awards 2011

RichE Award StatuetteFirst!

The Oscars is the biggest awards show there is, period. In recent years the BAFTAs has deliberately been moved to happen before the American Academy’s awards so as not be seen to be playing second fiddle to them.  But here at KM UK we get the last laugh.  They both publish their schedules far in advance so we can nip in and hold our ceremony first! :-)

Ladies and gentlemen, for your reading pleasure, may I present to you the Kathryn Morris UK Awards 2011.  We take a look back at the events of 2010 to recognise the highs and lows of the year, all from the perspective of a fan of the amazing actress and all round wonderful person Kathryn Morris.  Who or what will win the coveted ‘RichE’ (named after it’s creator, ME!) statues this year?

Those expecting a Ricky Gervais-style roasting of celebrities (did the Golden Globes organisers really expect anything different when they hired him?) will likely be disappointed but hopefully we’ll have a few laughs along the way.

Without further ado, the do…

Family Values

Cold_Case_S07E17_lilly_079This is one of those things I thought I’d never get to see.  Ain’t life full of surprises?

Thanks to Cruzlite on YouTube we have a chance to see a short clip Kathryn in one of her earliest roles, as the oddly named Borgyork Grumm in the TV movie sitcom pilot Family Values from 1995.  I’m not sure about the “TV movie” part, because it looks more like a sitcom, but that’s how IMDb is listing it so I’ll go with that for now.  Perhaps it is because it never became a series.

The “men”, and I use the term loosely, in the clip describe Borgyork as “Miss Huck’s new socialworker”.  Kathryn looks very young and very cute.

The video as posted by Cruzlite can been seen on YouTube HERE.  I’ve added a version of it and a set of screencaps to the Gallery.

Thanks to Kareen_T for the heads-up.

Update: I’ve moved the gallery entries to the TV section because from what little I can find on this else where suggests that it is a TV show that didn’t go beyond the pilot and not a TV movie as IMDb says.

One Day In The Year

drawing_015_682x1024_lynneschlumpfAnd now for something a little different.

In early December last year artist Lynne Schlumpf started a project to create 51 sketches, one for every year she’s “been allowed to be on this earth.”  These drawings were to be created solely using applications for the iPhone.

Luckily for us Lynne decided to extend the project to cover a whole year (to become the 365 Days of iPhone Sketches) because on day 54, Thursday the 27th of January, seeing Kathryn on an episode of Cold Case inspired that day’s sketch (as seen on the right and in the Gallery).

“Was watching the show Cold Case and was thinking the woman who plays detective Lilly Rush has a really interesting face. Very pale with very blonde hair and sea blue eyes.” – Lynne

How do you create such images on a phone?  Good question, and one I put to Lynne.  Autodesk, best known for products like AutoCAD that cost thousands of Pounds/Dollars/Euros etc., have created some sophisticated apps for Apple’s iPhone, iPod touch and iPad range for next to, and including, nothing.  Lynne uses their SketchBook Mobile app and is clearly enamoured with it.  There is a limited feature free version, SketchBook MobileX, for those that want to try it out.  Zen Brush by PSOFT also gets the thumbs up from Lynne.

Lynne has kindly allowed me to add her work to the KM UK Gallery.  You’ll find the full-sized version of the sketch in the Drawings area of the Fan Art gallery along with a couple more small items Lynne has created (thumbnails below).  We may be seeing more of Lynne’s work here in the future.

You can read about Lynne’s 365 Days of iPhone Sketches project and see other images she has created on her blog Art Haunts Me Everywhere.

As Good As It Gets

km_agaig_5She’s in there somewhere, honest.

Here’s another in the all too long list of things in the Gallery but I’ve never written about.

This has to be one of the shortest cameos ever.  Kathryn’s appearance in the 1997 Jack Nicholson / Helen Hunt odd-ball romcom As Good As It Gets lasts for less than 8 seconds.  It’s taken you longer to read this far.

Credited as just “Psychiatric Patient” (along with another woman) Kathryn still manages to squeeze a lot of acting into that brief window of time despite the lack of words, emoting more than any of those around her.  That is clearly a troubled young woman waiting to see the psychiatrist.

A tiny collection of screencaps and a video clip are in the Gallery.

The article title is a double entendre by the way 😉
