Yes, there are some scenes where Ned rides out into an area of the city that is a warren of alleys. Malta is one big mess of Medieval-looking alleys.

Ah - that makes more sense, then.

Another stamp in his passport.

As Sable says some parts of the island is like stepping back in time 800 years with its mazes of alleyways with just enough room for two horses to pass .

Not even a stamp in his passport for a UK resident Lighty . Unlike the one in mine which says please do not return.

Not only that, but he probably figured out that the place looked so familiar because Troy was filmed there.

I give. I will make no more comments on the subject!

Looking at the picture reminded me of a couple of nice holidays in Malta. I did wonder if it was Mdina and then spotted the reference to it - it's much cleaner and tidier than Valletta (and I suspect they wouldn't have quite so many tourists to keep out of the way).

my friend lives in Malta and she didn't tell me a thing about it. she was in Malta when they were filming Troy, and she told me about seing Brad Pitt. I have to ask her. Maybe she can get us some nice shots of the place...if it's not over yet

Looking for a Dothraki crone.

Quote

Head Priestess of the Dosh Kahleen (Female)
Description:Aged over 50 and must be mixed race or else with Mediterranean skintone or a little darker.
She is an old crone who is wrinkled and wizened. She should be able to sing.
She is the High Priestess of the savage Dothraki religion. She drives a pivotal scene in Episode 6. She conducts a primitive religious rite – singing her words in a high keening voice. Her chanting leads her into an ecstatic trance where she prophesises that *** will be *** who will gain power over the whole world.
Must be good strong vocalist as all her lines are sung and she has to ululate. All her lines are in a made-up language. Must be good strong and dramatic performer with considerable power.
One big and memorable scene with leading cast.

Well, the only requirement I meet is the over 50 one. Damn.

If they want someone who is wrinkled and wizened, I think they should raise their age requirement. Unless they are planning to use a lot of makeup to achieve an older look. Most 50 year old actresses are younger looking and not wrinkled.

Depends on the lighting .....

OK the Mediterranean skintone isn't a problem, Wrinkles I can get by smoking like hell, and I have considerable power and willing to gain power over the whole world would be a small beer for me. I can do this with my pinky.

But how important is that singing? You can nail on a pudding on wall before I can sing properly. Ha, maybe that could be her trick to gain power over the whole world.
I'll stop singing when they submissively obey me. Change the script I'm coming.

No Sable I don't remember you to smack upside the head.

Finally got my hands on a copy of the book. Hopefully I'll know what you're all talking about soon.

(I think the assistant in Waterstones may have been traumatised by my lunge at the shelf as soon as I realised it was actually there. )
