Full list of Forbes’ 25 world billionaires in 2023

American business magazine, Forbes, in its 2023 list of 25 richest people in the world, featured Bernard Arnault on the No. 1 spot, followed by Twitter Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk.

In its previous list in 2022, Musk was on the No. 1 spot.

Forbes described the drop of Musk from the top spot as ” this year’s second-biggest loser”, adding that “Elon Musk, had it worse.”

For Jeff Bezos, fortune knocked him from number. 2 in the world in 2022 to No. 3 this year as Amazon shares crashed by 38 per cent.

Musk lost his title of the world’s richest person after his pricey purchase of Twitter, which he funded in part by the sale of Tesla shares, helping to spook investors. Musk, who is worth $39 billion less than a year ago, is now No. 2.

For Jeff Bezos, fortune knocked him from number. 2 in the world in 2022 to No. 3 this year as Amazon shares crashed by 38 per cent.

Also, among the top 25, two billionaires — Zhang Yiming, Changpeng Zhao lost their spots and were unable to make it on the list for this year.

Yiming, the founder of Tik Tok-parent Bytedance, dropped one place, from No. 25 to No. 26, as his embattled company has taken a haircut from investors while Zhao, Binance founder, known as CZ, fell from No. 19 last year all the way to No. 167 amid the crypto winter.

Unexpected 2 | Webgott x Olivia Stewart

masterlist

part one

This pairing and Olivia are slowly becoming my favorite. Right up there with Liv and Winnix. I can't help myself. Though Webster and Olivia's relationship with Webster is more platonic than her relationship with Dick. But that will be more in Courage Under Fire and Under False Pretenses.

Also posted on ao3: here

Blurry blue eyes watched as Joe helped his wife stand up and lead her back to the stairs, his ears perking when he heard his name and spare room. That was the Captain, no, Major, Stewart, he knew. 

He had forgotten that after her attack and they were settled in the South of France again, Colonel Sink on General Forbes's orders promoted her to Major. She would never let one of the Toccoa boys be out in the cold without a roof over his head and they all knew that. 

He flicked his eyes back over to the couple who were still standing by the stairs, Olivia on the second step cupping her husband's cheek and whispering to him with a small tender smile on her face. Joe turned his head and pressed several kisses to her wrist and palm before pressing a kiss to her mouth and watched as she walked up the stairs to their bedroom. He waited until the door shut behind her before he turned back to Webster who straightened.

"How is she?" He figured that Olivia was going to be a safe subject to start with. Joe didn't answer at first, instead, he went over to the drink cart and started sifting through it. "Joe?" "I am lucky to still have her. And the baby. She almost lost the baby again when we got to Charleston." 

The guilt that he had been trying to push down came back up as did the remaining whiskey, he fought off the feeling of wanting to throw it all up.

"She was on death's door again. General Stewart was able to get a doctor friend of General Forbes to come down from Manhattan. There was a lot of blood." 

Seeing how tense he was, David pulled himself up from his chair and stumbled towards the skinny man.

"They were able to find a heartbeat."

 Tentatively, he reached his hand out and clasped his friend's bare shoulder. He had seen Joe furious before, borderline murderous and devastated yes but scared never.

This was a new side to him. 

"I heard it, it was faint but it was there. I have never heard anything like that before. And Liv, she was freaked out, like how she was that night, begging me to still," Joe trailed off and turned his head so their eyes could meet and Webster wasn't surprised to see the unshed tears in them.

"To still what?"

 "Still love her and not leave her if she lost our baby." He paused before shaking his head, not wanting to talk about the fear that had settled in the pit of his stomach and how it wasn't going away. It probably wouldn't until the baby came and they were both safe. Or how her screams and cries begging the doctor to let him stay with her woke him up in the middle of the night and he pulled her closer to him while she slept.

 "She was in the hospital for over a week to rest and replenish her blood. I had to leave her there."

He tightened his hand on his shoulder as his free hand started pouring some of the Vat 69 whiskey into the glass for him. He felt like a total tool for coming here and bringing up memories that were still fresh, he didn't know that things had been that bad for them. He thought that honestly some of it was for show. That Olivia had been over dramatic but seeing Joe now and how almost tender he was with Olivia changed his mind. 

 "It was one of the two hardest things I have ever had to do. I wasn't allowed in to see her. Marla," 

Webster vaguely remembered the brunette younger sister of the Stewart twins from the 10-day pass they had right after the start of the new year after jump school, she hadn't been afraid to start cursing at him when she heard some of the comments that he made about her sister to Joe, Floyd, and Grant, "stayed with her. Liv, she begged to not be left alone."

 "What about Alice?" The two girls had been inseparable throughout their time together. "Her father was sick." He supplied, "Olivia insisted that she stayed with her parents. She put  her life on hold for long enough to follow Liv everywhere." 

Webster pressed the glass into his trembling hand, urging him to drink.

 "I was ready to stay in Charleston until the baby came. But Katherine was getting released from prison." 

Whiskey splashed over the side of the second glass, "What?! She tried to kill  them in front of an officer." They, along with most of the men in Easy Company, met Katherine McHale on the same trip. Olivia went from this bright shining girl to a shell who retreated to the safety of Lewis Nixon's protection and Katherine flipped her lid and pulled Olivia from the safety of Lewis and Dick Winters.

"My reaction exactly.' Joe found his lighter on the cart and lit a cigarette, " Her getting out changed that, we wanted her out of there quickly. There was no way she was getting on another plane."

Webster's mouth twitched, and he remembered Olivia's aversion to flying especially after their jump into Normandy. According to Buck who landed near her in Holland, he could hear her cursing the entire way down. "So her stepmom and grandma flew out and started finding us a place and we took the train." Joe had been relieved that she had been cleared to take the train out of Charleston, if Katherine had known that she was still in the hospital she would have shown up and caused more issues for Olivia. But thankfully she was released and they were on

 the train before Katherine found out anything from Marla. California would be the last place that Katherine would look for her, especially since she was still under the impression that Olivia was still with Lewis and not with a poor barber from San Francisco.

The man pulled away from him and sat on the loveseat again.

Taking a breath, Webster followed him and sat down next to him, deciding to lead him away from his wife, especially with how bad things were with her health was a horrendous choice and he was regretting it. 

 "Was this your choice?" He motioned around the living room.

 "Liv's, she saw it and fell in love with it." He returned, "You should have seen her face light up when she saw it. Her grandparents insisted said it was Christmas, birthdays, and wedding presents from the last few years

Webster nodded his head and looked at the coffee table that had papers scattered across it. A thick cream invitation caught his attention and he picked up.

The words were still blurry but he could make out Olivia's and Joe's names and the date of July 12th, 1946. 

Two years after their original wedding date.

"Are you getting remarried?"

"On our second anniversary, yes. If you are still here you should come with us." The invitation seemed innocent but there was something lingering behind Joe's words, something that David had desperately wanted to hear. He had needed to know that there was still something with Joe, that

 he wasn't just constantly reliving the past. 

"If I am still here? Do you want me around?" He repeated after swallowing a mouthful of Vat .69. Joe nodded his head as he exhaled a billow of smoke, he knew that he wasn't going to let him go again and he was sure once Olivia got over her anger and hurt towards him, she would agree that the wedding wouldn't be the same without David there.

Just like it wouldn't be the same without Nixon or Dick there. Now that anger faded, all of those feelings that he had previously towards him came rushing back to him. And he was at a loss for it.

Yes, he cared for David and always would but his life was upstairs in bed hopefully sleeping. When he married Olivia after they got back from France, that was it for him, he wanted her and a life with her since the moment he laid eyes on her way back in Toccoa but David offered a rougher side of things.

The side that he tried to keep hidden from Olivia. Yes, he got rough with her but not how he would with him.

David couldn't help the hope that soared up. He knew that he couldn't compete with everything that Olivia was but him wanting him there was a sign. But he had to ask, he had to know before he made any decision to stay. "What was the second hardest thing you had to do?

"Leaving you behind in New York."

fun facts //  

♡ Ches is a former Carnifex student who came over to Luxor during the merge. You can see everything that she’s been up to during her time in the rp on her timeline page.

♡ Ches has a twin brother named Jonah who isn’t at Luxor.

♡ The Elswoods are rich. Top 25 Forbes list, 50+ Billion Networth levels of rich. In turn Ches really doesn’t think that much about money, and how much it actually means to other people.

♡ Valedictorian of Luxor Academy’s 2020 Class, she turned down Columbia’s English program to attend Luxor University.

♡ She doesn’t use her first name, ever. She doesn’t like it, and there’s a fairly high chance of her just not acknowledging you if you call her Hailey.

♡ She’s a bit of a closet nerd - if you look under her bed she has a chest of comic books, although she has NO idea how they got there if you ask her.  Do not question the R2-D2 shaped thing covered by a tarp in her closet. She also doesn’t know where that came from.

♡ Extremely restless, if you want her to sit still during a movie you better give her something to do simultaneously.

♡ Her purse is kinda like Mary Poppins bag, odds are she has what you’re looking for in it. She almost always has her multi-tool on her. She also tends to carry around a single shot nerf gun, don’t ask.

♡ She got her first tattoo while she was away from school, using a forged note of parental consent in New Jersey. (The not fragile one, the arrow was added later).

♡ She has way too many siblings, you can learn about them on her family page. (She has one more not listed, a still born half brother named Julien she learned about via her mother’s diaries. The rest of the children (excluding Emmett) are unaware.)

♡ Loves animals, a lot, sometimes to a reckless extent. She would try to feed piranhas, she does try to climb into enclosures with venomous snakes. She would steal a dog (as would her twin brother, so apparently they have more in common than they realize).

♡ If Ches makes a threat, take it with a grain of salt. Yes, she owns a blowtorch, no she won’t set you on fire even if she lights it in your direction. Your muse might not always know that - depending on how much time they’ve spent with her, but ooc just remember her bark is way worse than her bite.

♡ Ches has a Porsche that she got from her father for graduating at the top of her class. Although it’s currently not travelling with her because the cost of shipping a car is insane. Anytime she’s in Lake George though, this is her baby. (She also owns a Mercedes, which was her first car).

♡ I’m always willing to discuss my muses, so feel free to hit me up if you have any questions at any point.

a tl;dr history  //  

♡ Ches’s mother was murdered on her 8th birthday in front of her

♡ She was raised by her oldest brother, Logan, and is NOT close to her father really. She also helped raise her younger sisters and is very protective of them.

♡ The Elswood she is closest to is Emmett. He’s a big part of why she’s even here, as she’d followed him to Carnifex.

♡ Her first real love was James (an npc). They dated Freshman-Sophomore years. It wasn’t a healthy relationship, and it started Ches’s messy af relationship and fwbs pattern as she didn’t want to go through that again.

♡ Ches left Luxor in October of 2019 because her oldest brother (Logan), overdosed. He’s alive and doing well now, but she stayed in NYC until March 2020 in order to take care of things here.

♡ I strongly recommend skimming Ches’s timeline page before interacting with her. These are just the bare minimum basics, and there’s more things your muse may know on there.

wanted connections //  

♡ Exes (when Ches dates it’s not for long, but she’s definitely the type to be like “I’ll go out with you” if asked and then... dump you if she thinks she’s getting too attached. So her exes are either on good terms, neutral terms, or they probably dislike her a lot)

♡  Former friends with benefits (while Ches is no longer taking on new ones because of Elliot, I’m always willing to headcanon past things!)

♡  Friends (I am weak af for a good friendship plot, never be afraid to be like “hey can our muses be friends” the answer is legit always yes)

♡ Enemies (Ches can... be a lot so it’s not unlikely she’s pissed people off ok)

♡ NA Sponsor (I think it'd be beneficial for Ches to have a sponsor, someone she respects and trusts but not someone with a close emotional attachment. I'd prefer if the muse has been sober for two+ years, but we can probably find a middle ground.)

♡ Ex Friends (People used to be friends with but no longer is on good terms with, either as an aftermath of her addiction, the aftermath of her recovery when that starts, them just growing apart, etc etc)

FOUR Magazine Announces Rising Stars Winners | Antioco Piras

International food magazine FOUR has named Bertrand Grébaut, Dave Pynt, Ignacio Mattos and Mitsuharu Tsumara as the four regional winners of its Rising Stars chef competition for 2015.

The competition seeks to find the best chefs under 35 years old from around the world. Four regional panels, comprising of some of the most influential food writers and experts in the world, picked winners for Europe, Asia and Australia, North America and Latin America. Each of the four will compete against each other to be crowned FOUR Rising Star this September.

FOUR’s co-founder Antioco Piras said that the competition sought to discover, promote and celebrate the talent of young chefs the world over. “Rising Stars is our way of identifying the chefs who we believe are the strongest talents in a highly-talented world; who have already made a great impact where they are cooking, and who we feel are going to go on to accomplish even greater things internationally. These four regional winners are phenomenal chefs who exemplify dedication to their craft.”

Europe’s winner, Frenchman Bertrand Grebaut, has been head chef at the Parisian ‘bijou bistro’ Septime since September 2011. Bertrand cultivates a dynamic cooking style, inspired by his travels through Asia, and has served under Alain Passard at L’Arpege, helping it earn its first Michelin star in 2006.

Aussie chef Dave Pynt, winner of the Asia and Australia region, is well known for his love of the barbecue, bringing a fiery flair to his work as Head Chef at Singaporean restaurant Burnt Ends with its open-kitchen and massive wood-burning oven. Dave was inspired by grilling genius Victor Arguinzoniz at Spain’s Assedor Extebarri, and before that worked with Tetsuya Wakuda and at Noma in Copenhagen.

Ignacio Mattos, Uruguayan-born but working in New York, was named as winner for North America thanks to his work at SoHo’s Estela, which he established with Thomas Carter in 2013 and is known for its uncomplicated but flavourful meals. Ignacio previously worked with Argentine legend Francis Mallmann and Alice Waters at Chez Panisse, and was previously head chef at fellow NYC restaurant Il Buco.

Finally, Latin American winner Mitsuharu Tsumura gives Japanese cuisine a Peruvian twist at Maido in Lima, which combines sushi service elements with a more traditional restaurant experience. Widely considered as one of the world’s eminent ambassadors for Nikkei cuisine, Mitsuharu worked in Osaka at Seto Sushi before returning home to cook at Lima’s Sheraton Hotel. He opened Maido at the age of 28 in 2009.

Last year’s FOUR Rising Star winner was Agata Felluga, one of Italy’s most celebrated female chefs, who has passed through some of the best kitchens in her home country and France. Today, she heads up Jour de Fête in Strasbourg, where she focuses on infusing simple ingredients with her creativity and technical prowess.

Judges:

Head judge for FOUR Rising Stars 2015 is Andrea Petrini, Chairman of World’s 50 Best, creative director of Cook it Raw and co-director of the food festival Paris des Chefs. He is also head judge of the European region.

Melinda Joe is head judge of the Asia and Australia region, a Tokyo based food, drinks and travel writer who contributes to FOUR, Wall Street Journal and the Japan Times.

Jay Cheshes is the head judge for North America and is a trained chef turned food writer for Wall Street Journal and Time Out New York.

Brazilian born Alexandra Forbes is the Latin America head judge, she writes for World’s 50 Best and is the food editor of GQ Brazil.

The world's elite tend to mingle among themselves - as do the children of the elite. They party like no other, spend like no one else and live to utter excess. Every year the most promising (and possibly riotous) of these groups are sent to an island where the promise of an equal match awaits them. Trust funds usually make for tricky marriages and the best solution is to be matched with someone of similar status - and have fun finding them even if they might get into a bit of trouble.

St. Trident is a private island near France and is reserved for the world's most wealthiest families to send their kids to. Stocked up with the finest amenities and filled to the brim with all they could ask for they walk in not wanting for anything. And if anything is missing? There's always a jet that will go wherever they demand to go and find it. Spoiled, rotten, and somewhat out of hand their supposed focus is to find someone that won't make off with their inheritance. They have a full Summer to find someone and return home ready to take over the family name with a good match in tow.

Die, Monster, Die! (1965): SUMMARY Stephen Reinhart, an American scientist (Nick Adams), pays a visit to the estate of his British fiancée’s family. He finds a scorched area of countryside near an enormous crater. Local townspeople are hostile toward him and refuse to either drive him to his destination or talk about the family that lives there. The source of all these problems is later revealed to be a radioactive meteorite kept hidden in the basement by his girlfriend’s father, Nahum Witley (Boris Karloff), who has been using the radiation to mutate plant and animal life, with horrific consequences to his subjects and to members of his family. Nahum’s wife, Letitia, mutated by the meteorite and driven insane, dies in an attack on Steve and Susan. After Helga, a maid who has been mutated and driven mad by radiation, comes after Nahum, he is mutated after his attacker falls on the meteorite and is killed. The Nahum monster attacks Steve and Susan, but falls from a balcony and bursts into flame when he hits the floor, setting the entire Witley mansion ablaze. Steve and Susan escape from the burning mansion, and never look back.

DEVELOPMENT The year was 1965 and Boris Karloff was now 77 years old. At a time that most actors have long since retired or found that Hollywood has left them behind, Karloff was still in demand. Only his health was keeping him from the busy schedule he once had. His arthritis and emphysema were crippling at times, leaving him wheelchair bound and on oxygen. Yet, there were days when his stamina was high and he would move about as well as a man of 77 could. Still under contract to American International Pictures, his next effort would be Die, Monster, Die!

Daniel Haller

Interview with Director Daniel Haller

Are you treating Lovecraft differently from the concept of American-International’s Poe films? Daniel Haller: Yes, the Lovecraft film is contemporary, and, as a result, there is more emphasis on the scientific aspect.

Apart from the change in locality, how close is Die Monster, Die! to Lovecraft’s Colour Out of Space? Daniel Haller: Quite similar, but more up to date. The scientific emphasis means that the fantasy now derives from the science.

The science-fiction theme comes out strongly? Daniel Haller: Yes. In HPL’s story this meteorite comes out of the sky. It had a character of its own which we are unable to show. We have made it radioactive. In the film it could be radium.

Do you think this approach will be taken as a symbol of thermonuclear fears? Daniel Haller: Yes. I think quite a lot of people will believe that. I felt it strongly-not so much now though.

In the story, much of the atmosphere derives from Lovecraft’s description of the unearthly countryside. How did you show this? Daniel Haller: Stephen, the hero, has a long walk through the woods which we hope gets this over. There are charred stumps, matted growths….

Daniel Haller on set

What is it like working with a veteran like Boris Karloff ? Daniel Haller: Very enjoyable. He’s not one of these people who always argue that a scene should be done another way. He does it as the director sees it. I think the great thing about Boris is his look; he puts over so much in a slight shift or lean of the head.

Does it bother you to know that critics will no doubt compare your film with Roger Corman’s Poe movies? Daniel Haller: No, not really. I think we both have our own style. …

Corman has spoken of his interest in Freud. Is there symbolism of this nature in Die, Monster, Die? Daniel Haller: Although I’m a great admirer of Freud, I’m not consciously using symbolism —Freudian or otherwise. Even so, Die, Monster, Die! has its “sub-text” as should any film.

The Curse (1987): SUMMARY Teenage boy Zack lives on a farm in Tellico Plains, Tennessee with his mother Frances, younger sister Alice, stern and pious old stepfather Nathan Crane and unpleasant, dim-witted stepbrother Cyrus. One night Frances sneaks out of the house while Nathan is asleep and begins having sex with Mike, a farm-hand who lives in a nearby shack. Suddenly a large meteorite crashes onto the property, emitting an eerie glow. Next morning, Alan Forbes, a physician who lives nearby, visits the crash-site, examining the meteorite which is a large sphere with a hard shell from which a noxious liquid oozes out. Before long, the object dissolves into glowing gelatinous liquid which seeps into the soil. Forbes wants to contact the authorities but is dissuaded by Charlie Davidson, local realtor and head of the chamber of commerce, who worries that the event will discourage the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) from building a new reservoir in the area. Forbes’ bored wife Esther also manipulates her husband into keeping quiet, worried their house will lose its value.

The mysterious liquid soon begins to affect the farm. The water from the well grows cloudy and tastes unpleasant, fruit and vegetables grow invitingly large but are rotten and inedible inside and the livestock begin to behave violently and show severe signs of infection. Alice is attacked and injured by infected chickens and Cyrus is nearly killed by a horse. Frances begins to have large boils growing on her face which soon grotesquely alter her features. She becomes mentally unstable, physically harming herself and attacking her own family. Believing the blight affecting his farm to be a punishment from God for his wife’s infidelity, Nathan locks her in their bedroom, not allowing Zack to tell the doctor. Zack keeps himself and Alice free from the infection by consuming clean water and food he steals from Forbes’ house.

Forbes secretly obtains a sample from the Cranes’ well and has it analysed at a nearby lab. The water is found to contain a strange, unknown element which is altering its metabolic properties. Carl Willis, a TVA representative who is surveying the local area for the planned reservoir, enters the Cranes’ house looking for a glass of water. Helping himself from the kitchen faucet, he has just started drinking when he is attacked and nearly killed by Frances, who has gone insane and is horribly mutating. Worried that Forbes is going to alert the authorities, Davidson and Esther arrive at the Crane farm looking for the doctor but are attacked by infected dogs who have turned feral. Esther is mauled to death and Davidson hides himself in the cellar only to be killed by Frances who had been locked in there by Nathan.

By now Nathan and Cyrus are also infected and beginning to go insane. A guilt-ridden Forbes enters the house, hoping to rescue Zack and Alice but he is surprised and murdered by Nathan who then barricades the door. Cyrus attacks Alice but Zack fights him off, hiding his sister in a closet. Nathan corners Zack and is about to kill his stepson when he is stabbed by Willis who has just arrived. The ground begins to glow and heave beneath the house which starts to fall apart. Zack locates his mother just in time to see her mutated corpse dissolve into liquid. Willis gets Zack and Alice out of the house before it collapses and a dying Nathan and Cyrus are both killed by falling debris. Willis drives away from the farm, taking Zack and Alice with him.

Some months later, a heavily-bandaged Willis lies in a hospital bed, having become infected more slowly because he only drank a small amount of the farm’s water. He is watching a news report on how authorities are promising that the blight from the farm will be eradicated. Later, at a location in the nearby countryside, ground and trees begin to heave and break apart at night, revealing more of the alien glowing liquid spreading onto the surface.

DEVELOPMENT/PRODUCTION Distributor Trans World offered Keith an acting job on a movie named Blood Hunt, but he also insisted on directing. So the company called him in for a meeting, he says, “to talk me out of directing.” But the Southerner went in prepared. He laid out in detail how he would direct several major scenes in Blood Hunt, and walked out of the meeting with a three-picture deal: to direct The Farm, to star in and direct Blood Hunt, and to helm another movie.

Keith expresses no particular fondness for the horror genre. “I’m much more in love with Woody Allen movies, to tell you the truth.” He did Firestarter because I love Stephen King,” and he is now doing The Farm because of Chaskin’s tight script. “The scariest horror movies are the ones that, if you left out the horror, would still be a good movie. So that’s what we are trying to do with The Farm, make it realistic with well-rounded characters and real situations, so that when the meteor lands, it’s a device of the gods, from ancient theater tradition.”

Principal photography began on September 29, 1986 under the title The Farm, after being announced previously as The Well. David Keith, a native of Knoxville, utilized his farm property in Tellico Plains, Tennessee for the film, while the interiors were shot in Rome. Many of the crew members, who were Italian, were billed under American names, including associate producer Lucio Fulci. Actor Treat Williams was reportedly set to star in the film, but was not involved with the film itself.

Perhaps the greatest danger facing the $1.5 million production is Keith’s drive to make The Farm more than just a good, entertaining horror film. Horror mixed with “social relevancy” usually smacks of pretentiousness. “This movie is about the dying of the family farm. That’s the problem that these people face on this farm long before the meteor comes-the family farm is America has no chance any more. Which is something that kills me. I love the fact that we’re touching on that topic. I have dilated that plot aspect since I became involved.”

And Keith has another problem to deal with. Most of the technical crew are Italian and do not speak English. Everyone loves the Italian crew; they are very professional, having worked a great deal together in the past. Shooting generally goes very smoothly, but there are occasions when communication problems bring a pronounced comic relief to the location. At its funniest, it goes like this: All communications pass through recent University of Tennessee graduate Anna Rebori, the interpreter. When Keith wants something done, he tells Rebori. She tells the crew. The crew talk it over in Italian between themselves, then they tell Rebori why they cannot do it. Rebori tells Keith. Keith explains very carefully, to Rebori, just exactly what he wants and why he has to have it. Rebori tells the crew. And so it goes, on into the night.

Screenwriter David Chaskin jokingly hopes that maybe, if he refrains from changing the Lovecraft classic, the director will likewise refrain from changing his script. But the original story, as with much of the Lovecraft canon, relies on very heavy description to set mood. “It would make an arty Twilight Zone episode,” says Chaskin. So he created a history for the characters and added a number of subplots, such as a hired farmhand named Dog who has an affair with Frances (Kathleen Gregory), the wife of the farm owner, Nathan (Claude Akins). Chaskin also created a conflict between Frances’ two children from an earlier marriage, played by Wil (Stand By Me) Wheaton and Wheaton’s real-life younger sister Amy, and Nathan’s son, Cyrus (Malcolm Denare). Finally, Chaskin updated the story and set it in the real town of Tellico Plains, Tennessee.

The “meteorite syndrome” is a progressive affliction. First it destroys the farm crops, then the trees start waving when there is no wind. Next it affects the farm animals. Pretty little Amy Wheaton, in her first movie role, is attacked and mauled by killer chickens. Finally, the toxins reach out from the well to the residents. Frances is the first to succumb, followed by Nathan and his son Cyrus. Frances’ kids are the only ones to escape.

The first thing to go is the mind. “It’s like in Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” offers Chaskin. “The little boy tells the doctor, ‘She’s not my mother!'” Then they turn mean, and they go crazy. By this time, it is affecting their bodies as well. We see a malignant growth here and there, eventually distorting their faces into bloated, throbbing, grotesque imitations of the meteorite. Their suffering is ultimately terminated by disintegration into a gray dust.

The FX makeup is being executed by Franco Ruffini in Rome. But the makeup was actually designed by Keith himself, who described it to a designer like a crime victim detailing his assailant to a police artist.

Keith is very much the dominant force in The Farm, and he will deserve full credit for the outcome, whatever that outcome may be. He walks the location charged with energy, exclaiming, “I’m so fired up. I’ve never been so happy on a job in my life.” This is what Keith has been working toward throughout his entire career; he originally pursued acting as a first step in someday taking the director’s chair.
