Xmas Advent Calendar 2011

I think everyone that has Xmas decorations has at least one that’s old and tatty.  You’ve had it for years and you should probably throw it away and buy a new one.  But it is practically part of the family.  It’s tradition so you have to use it, every year…

The KM UK advent calender returns for 2011.  This year’s theme is “The Many Hair Styles Of… Kathryn Morris”.  The image behind each “door” is taken from a film or TV series and showcases a different hair style that Kathryn has sported.  There are some classics.

Starting tomorrow a new picture will be revealed each day (if I remember to do it).  Feel free to post comments and rate each individual hair style as they are revealed, perhaps come up with nicknames for them.

You can find the advent calendar HERE, and I have added a link in the menu on the right.

The Advent Calendar is now closed.

Happy 4th Of July

wallpaper_111_2484x2000_smallbarbieSome times dreams do come true  :-P

Yet again I find myself humbled by the generosity of KM UK readers.  The time and effort you put in to help me and my little website is amazing.  Kathryn is very lucky to have such wonderful fans.

Thank you to IcyWinter (it was her idea), Smallbarbie (the amazing image above) and Lolly (…hello) for the great new Wallpapers and Banners at such short notice.

Oh yes, and Happy 4th of July to our American cousins, especially Kathryn :-)

Texts From Cold Case Site

A bit of fun for a Friday.

The Tumblr website Texts From Castle takes bizarre mobilephone text messages from the Texts From Last Night and applies them as funny captions to images from the fantastic TV show Castle.

Inspired by this Lolly (aka Gina), funny girl and KM UK regular, has set up a Tumblr site of her own called Texts From Cold Case.  Of course now the text messages are applied as captions to pictures from Cold Case.

I’m sure that if you feel inspired to make a contribution of your own Lolly would be happy to accept submissions.  Contact her via Tumblr.  If you are looking for art work to use then I think you probably already know where to go to find the biggest and best collection of Cold Case images there is… Wait!  Where you going?  I meant here in the KM UK Gallery :-)

A link to the Texts From Cold Case site has been added to the KM Websites list on the right-hand side of this site.

Exclusive! Cougars, Inc. 3D – April Fool

The Cougars are Comin’ At Ya!

Today is the day that Cougars, Inc. is officially released to the world, or at least the North American parts of it, via on-demand services after its première last night.  On the 10th of May the same region will be able to get our hands on the DVD and Blu-ray versions (21st April in Germany).  But you may want to hold off on that hard copy purchase for now…

box_art_3dKM UK can exclusively reveal that two weeks after the discs are available a very special Blu-ray edition will be announced:  Cougars, Inc. 3D.  All the fun of the original but with added depth!

Filming was not done using 3D cameras so the effect has had to be added in post-production using a technique known as advanced proportional rectified interlace level field optical over layering.  This is a complicated procedure that extracts depth information from 2D images and re-applies it in certain ways to create the stereoscopic effect.  The time it has taken to perfect this technique is one of the reasons the movie was not released as widely expected in December 2010.

Huge thanks to Nisan Aptal for tipping me off about this.

New 3D-effect box art had been created for Cougars, Inc. 3D and KM UK has been able to obtain a leaked copy of it, as you can see on the right.  A larger version is now in the Gallery.

Yes, this was a fake story for April Fool.

Let’s Play ‘Spot The Difference: Cougars, Inc.’ – Answers Added

Updated box artTime for a little game based on a newly released version of the Cougars, Inc. box art (see right).

I’m calling it My Illustration Looking Fun game, or the M.I.L… Oh dear… That’s unfortunate ;-)

The game involves looking at this latest revision of the box art and comparing it with the previous one and noting the differences.  I’m sure we all played games like that as children.

Go to the Gallery and look at the images labelled Box Art 1 and the just added Box Art 3 (they are currently the 4th item on the second row and the 1st on the 3rd row, hold your mouse pointer over the thumbnails to see the labels).  How many differences can you spot?  Why do you think they made the changes?  Let us know by posting a comment.

Having already released copies of the Blu-ray and DVD box art we’ll have to wait and see if they will be updated to match.

The Answers

Having analysed the two images the differences are these:

  • Kathryn and the stair rail are much larger.  They’ve scaled up that whole area making Kathryn almost as tall as Denise.  It certainly makes her more prominent than she was.  That may have been the primary goal behind the change.
  • The new “It’s 10pm. Do you know where your mother is?” tag-line has been added.
  • “James Belushi” has been changed to “Jim Belushi”.  That is how he is generally known.
  • The picture of Jim Belushi has changed and moved slightly to the left.
  • There are small changes to Denise’s head, neck line and her left shoulder (our right).  Nothing major just small shifts and size changes.
