Malta Today has had a little chat with Manuel Mallia. He was asked why he’s got the film industry in his portfolio, along with the police and the army.
Mallia came up with the most brilliant justification, don’t you think:
last two paragraphs – justifying the Film industry being within the remit of his ministry.Malli said
“…there was a situation where a helicopter was needed and it was provided for a film….as was a steamboat and police cars”.
Steam-boat?
Yes, it’s going to be a long, long five years.

Ma tafx kif ikollhom bzonnu xi macho type bhala extra f’ Game of Thrones. Jew inkella il-catering u xi kocc habsin bl-amnestija ghall xi remake ta’ Midnight Express.
Tweedledum himself could play the part of Jabba the Hutt in the coming Star Wars sequels. Very little make-up needed.
Minister Manuel Mallia, a la Chris Cardona:
To AFM Search & Rescue unit. Urgent Message.
“Hallikom mil-q**ba klandestini, hallu lit-Taljani jsalvawhom. Ghandna bzonn il-helikopter hawn issa stess, repeat issa stess, fuq Rinella, biex tingibed xena vitali ghall-film blokkbaster ” Joseph Muscat and the Klandistines” ENDS
I too was surprised to hear Mallia talking about the film industry as if it’s part of his portfolio. I would have expected Jose Herrera (Culture) to do it.
Manuel Mallia seems and appears to be acting like the Deputy Prime Minister. Do I smell something fishy there?
Smells fishy? Possibly. It appears there is no running water in the Mallia household. Servants are sent out all the way to Piazza San Gorg to fill up jerry cans from the ornamental fountains there.
Yep a long fast slide downhill unfortunately.
Does he have a yellow submarine?
If they do a Maltese remake of Deliverance, might I suggest Mallia for the Ned Beatty role?
He ain’t got no purrtty mouth but I bet he can squeal for fun.
Good. In the remake of Pearl Harbour, the producers can borrow Manuel Mallia’s navy.
How slow can you people be.
They’re the steam-boats from the Maltese Navy!
I mean, really, guys.
“…there was a situation where a helicopter was needed and it was provided for a film….as was a steamboat and police cars”.
Film makers also need catering services.
And sometimes clowns as well.
Steam boat Manwel, fejn tahseb li qeghdin, Missisippi.
