So much for the ‘blockbuster’ that will leave Eur20 million in Gozo’s economy

Angelina Jolie told the US entertainment TV show Extra in May: “It’s not a big movie, it’s not an action movie. It’s the kind of movie we love but aren’t often cast in. It’s a very experimental, independent-type film where we get to be actors together and be really raw, open, try things.”
It’s a his ‘n’ hers project. What was that film Guy Ritchie made on Comino with his (then) wife, Madonna?
No, I can’t remember either.
It’s a blockbuster if I say so

Swept away
Wasn’t aware they attempted that feeble copy of Wertmuller’s classic in Comino.
What really got to me was how Madonna expected to compare to Melato.

She also had the most utterly geometrical beauty, a Modigliani.

Ah, Wertmuller! Her best five minutes of cinema EVER are these. Listen to this dialogue and WEEP. This is Malta, and that raw anger, with the blasphemy, is what some of us are fighting to keep down.

If Daphne wishes, I could translate.
Giannini’s best ever. Wertmuller’s darkest, childhood nightmares.
Matched perhaps by Sordi’s borghese piccolo piccolo. Monicelli ever toxic and resigned.

Rest assured he did an ombrello first, just like Wertmuller’s prisoner.
And now for something completely different.
Here’s our Muscat.

‘…ma Io sono socialista…’
“Ho pensato.”
Is there anyone left to think here?
What an evil look.
That picture needs a health warning. Frightened the cat.
The best film ever made in Malta was that German porn movie with the backdrop of rubble walls and prickly pears. It gave a gritty, arthouse edge to what was meant to be industrial-scale Mitteleuroporn.
I can’t remember the name either. But this one was really a blockbuster.
The Prime Minister needs to floss.
Jaysus! You’re right. The buildup of plaque (and by the looks of it, calculus too), on upper and lower set alike, is shocking. He’s got it round the entire tooth perimeter. Doesn’t this hamallu millionaire ever visit the dentist? I wager he’s got halitosis to match.
The Wied Is-Sewda dentist owes him a favour or two.
Bloody hell, Mr. Baxxter, you are right. The plaque build-up is highly visible and it is usually the result of lack of oral hygiene. Brushing twice a day will give positive results.
Pulcinell.
Admittedly it’s not a beauty contest but the man gets uglier by the day.
I know it’s almost bedtime, but that was last year.
‘where’s my coconut?’

Blockbuster film will inject 20 million euros in Gozo economy?
That’s nothing compared to the 30 million euros Joe Mizzi spent on the dry oil well in Kercem, Gozo in 1998 (Madonna taz Zejt) to fulfill his oil explorer fetish fantasy.
The difference is that we, the taxpayers, paid for it and the Italian oil company ENI got all our money.
Fucking “inject” again. Alas, Gonzispeak is here to stay.
And I didn’t realise Gozo had its own economy. Do we have to go through customs when we cross the fucking Fliegu?
You know how married couples end up looking alike after a lifetime of conjugal affiliation? Well, this guy is already starting to look like his partner in crime, the coconut, Kurt whatsisname.
