The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)
Tumblr media
How far true stories have fallen.  Nowadays, all we can get is some limp-dick “Inspired by True Events” followed by absolute nonsense.  With The Ghost and the Darkness, we get full-on voiceover from a character assuring us that this is 100% actual factual truth, hand on the Bible cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.  Now there’s ballsiness.  Do I believe it for an instant?  Of course not.  For one thing, I can only assume the real John Henry Patterson had a better Irish accent and less gleamingly white teeth.  So too does the film amp up the quasi-supernatural bent to the Tsavo Man-Eaters.  These cats are clever as hell, absolute psychopaths in their drive to kill and devour.  It never quite manages to be as terrifying as it would hope to be, and there are a few moments of unintentional comedy as the mayhem breaks out.  But still, there is thrill to be found in the increasingly desperate squad of hunters thwarted at every angle by these unknowable creatures.  It’s tantalizing how little can be nailed down about them.  Maasai hunters refuse to acknowledge the pair of lions as even lions, viewing them as demons whose thirst for blood will never be slaked.  Charles Remington experiences his own version of this fear and apprehension upon discovering the lions’ lair, shocked and baffled at the collection of skeletons so clashing with his experience with the animals.  This mystery, never fully elucidated, makes for the most engaging aspect of the film.
Not that the movie doesn’t try to dissuade the viewer from enjoying it at points.  A sweeping James Horner-esque score oppresses the experience at every turn, blasting outtakes from The Rocketeer or something every time any character bats an eye.  Equally bonkers is Michael Douglas’ turn as seasoned hunter Charles Remington.  While Val Kilmer is content to turn in a stiff performance, Douglas evidently decided that a cross between Colonel Sanders and Jack Nicholson was on order.  Remington appears and disappears something of an enigma, late to the show to arrive and dragged off by a lion offscreen at the end of it all.  While he served as both predator and prey for these Tsavo lions, perhaps he wasn’t so unlike them in that sense, if a fair bit nicer.
THE RULES
SIP
Someone names a country or continent.
Anyone says ‘bridge’.
Lion-o-Vision
The lions’ demonic nature is asserted.
BIG DRINK
John gives a false fun fact about animals.
Someone starts to read a letter aloud.

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…
Supporting Character Supplemental - King T’Chaka
T’Chaka was the eldest son of Azzuri, the king of Wakanda and holder of the mantle of The Black Panther.  From an early age T’Chaka excelled in the ways of the warrior and took a stance of preserving Wakanda's heritage and honoring the ‘old ways’ of magic despite the technological advancements of his nation.  He often accompanied his father on expeditions, taking part in adventures during the Second World War alongside Captain America.  
Azzuri stepped down as king and T’Chaka passed the trials to become the new Black Panther and ruler of Wakanda.  He ruled for many years and Wakanda new great prosperity under his stewardship.  
T’Chaka was killed by the treachery of the villain Ulysses Klau who sought to pilfer the vibranium of Wakanda.  T’Chaka’s younger brother, S’Yan, took the throne as king until T’Chaka’s son, T’Challa was old enough to face the trials.  When T’Challa succeeded in the trials and became the new Black Panther, S’Yan stepped aside and T’Calla became the new king.  
Actor John Kani portrayed King T’Chaka in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  The Wakandan king first appeared in the pages of Fantastic Four #53 (1966).

There’s a Starman waiting in the sky ... or is there?
"There's a Starman waiting in the sky ... or is there?", a review of Uga Carlini's documentary 'Beyond the Light Barrier', at the Hilton Arts Festival in August.
KOOK or mother of an alien baby? Elizabeth Klarer is the central focus to Uga Carlini’s documentary Beyond the Light Barrier , which features at this year’s Hilton Arts Festival. SHE WAS ONE of the South African media’s darlings from the 1950s with her tales of aliens, UFOs and her own abduction and seduction, pregnancy and childbearing. It was a story too good to be true for news editors,…
