TONIGHT on ME-TV @ 12:30am EST, one of the FOUNDATIONAL episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE: "A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE" (written by Richard Matheson, directed by Ted Post, originally broadcast March 11, 1960) A definitive, existential, surreal Twilight Zone episode, the first-season “A World of Difference” is ur-Twilight Zone, because it asks the metaphysical query, “How thin a line separates that which we assume to be real with that manufactured inside of a mind?,” raising age-old philosophical questions about destiny versus pre-destiny, whether man has free will in a benevolent or malevolent universe, while also presaging the later-Sixties psychedelic reaction to life being like a movie. Actor Howard Duff gives one of those stark-ravingly believable Twilight Zone performances, as either, 1. A businessman whose life has suddenly become a movie set (the premise of Peter Weir’s 1998 film The Truman Show), or 2. An actor who, to a movie crew filming him, has gone crazy and believes he is actually the businessman he’s playing! Matheson leaves it up to the audience to decide which is the “truer” reality. A couple of other episode highlights: watch actress Eileen Ryan ripping Duff’s actor character, and the scenery, to shreds, and you’ll know where the intensity in her actor son, Sean Penn, comes from; the original soundtrack by composer (Nathan) Van Cleave, with classic Twilight Zone-esque hooks built on the distinctive-sounding theremin (used years later most famously by Beach Boy boss Brian Wilson on "Good Vibrations"); and the noirish photography by one-off D.P. Harkness Smith (vs. the usual George T. Clemens). #rodserling #richardmatheson #twilightzone #thetwilightzone #aworldofdifference #howardduff #arlenschumer @dgareps @dbbushman @richard_syrett @adamschumer https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBlKAKLOJO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A World Of Difference by Harry Turtledove $4 Ballantine Books First Edition (1999) Imagine if Mars was more Earth-like. Who would we find living there? Welcome to Minerva. A World of Difference is a welcome addition to Harry Turtledove's body of work. Published in 1990 his approach to aliens is very much a first run-through precursor to that of the ones in his later World War series, with an emphasis on their biology as a foundation for the way they speak, their attitudes to sex and gender, and little mannerisms that really bring them to life as real characters. As usual, much of what is in the book is an allegory for human politics and history, and as such this science fiction story may appeal more to those with an interest in history than hard science. The cover artist is the remarkable David Schleinkofer. . Overall Good Condition, Pages Looks Great, Minor Wear, Very Slight Crease In Spine, Binding Tight . . . #aworldofdifference #harryturtledove #paperbacksciencefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8uB44AJle/?igshid=18hgaenwhoje3

I'm weak!!! #facts💯 #sotrue #chickfila #mcdonalds #aworldofdifference

A bright line up of interesting indigenous grapes last night with @winesofportugal at the Savoy: Verdelho, Azal, Codega do Larinho, Samarrinho, Avesso, Bical, Jampal, Rufete, Sousão, Tinta Grossa, Ramisco, Alicante Bouchet and Moscatel de Setúbal all quirky, fresh and unusual. Highlights included the Azal-whose nose reminded of smoked citrus and orange peel, the Avesso - grown on granite soils had a creaminess underlying it's own stark citrus, the Jampal redolent of honey and quince and floral-the flavour profile perhaps of an Alvariñho and Viognier but with the texture of Chardonnay... the Bical was also hot stuff. Lots more on show today I believe at the Wines of Portugal tasting, go check them out #winesofportugal #aworldofdifference #indigenousgrapes #trysomethingdifferent #wine (at The Savoy Grill)
