Gozo should have metro access without a population increase of 50,000

Oct 24 2021 Share

As studies, research and discussions into the building of the Metro System continue, the Gozo Tourism Association has expressed that the island should be included in the 25 station connection route. This should be done, the association expressed, without Malta’s sister island having to increase its population by 50,000 to create a metro connection with Malta. It in fact expressed its surprise that the transportation system set to revolutionize how we go about our daily lives on the island was not inclusive of Gozo. With another project on the agenda – the Malta to Gozo tunnel – the two massive projects have, as of yet, no connection.

The Gozo Tourism Association (GTA) argued that in the proposed argument to extend the metro only if Gozo’s population increases by 50,000 ‘does not hold water’. This mainly has to do with tourism as, in 2019, over 1.5 million foreign tourists visited Gozo for the day. During a pre-COVID 2019, Gozo also hosted 215,22 domestic visitors and 180,978 foreign visitors who stayed one or more nights in accommodation on the island. These numbers of course do not include workers and/or students crossing the two islands, with the GTA asking if this was taken into consideration when studies were carried out.

Captain America & Iron Man’s fight scene in Civil War almost didn’t happen

Captain America & Iron Man's fight scene in Civil War almost didn't happen
Oct 23 2021 Share

Of all the scenes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one of the most iconic scenes is the face-off between Captain America and Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War.

However, recent shocking reports have revealed that the battle between Cap and Tony was almost scrapped. A book titled The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe shed light on the disagreement between the Marvel Creative Committee and Kevin Feige and the Russo Brothers on the ending of Civil War.

If it were for the committee, the film would have ended with a departure from the comics by having the Avengers fight Baron Zemo and a team of Hydra super soldiers.

The Civil co-writer Stephen McFeely revealed that he, together with Joe Russo, advocated the comic-accurate Civil War scene as opposed to a super soldier battle in a submarine. Disney chief creative officer Alan Horn made the decisive call to side with Feige and the Russo Brothers which led to one of the most iconic scenes of new-era Marvel Studios.

What would Civil War be without that fight scene?

James Corden set to become UK's highest-paid TV personality
Oct 23 2021 Share

After signing what is reported to be a ‘multi-million-pound’ contract, television personality, comedian and host of The Late Late Show James Corden will become the United Kingdom’s highest-paid television presenter.

With this contract, the 43-year-old will overtake the likes of the legendary Ant & Dec after signing the two-year deal worth £15 million.

Despite his CBS deal for the Late Late Show set to expire next year after six years of presenting, the US TV giant has its heart set on keeping Corden after garnering millions of views through segments such as Carpool Karaoke, Spill Your Guts and much more. CBS has told The Sun that James is their ‘guy’ and there is no plan B.

Are you a fan of James Corden?
