In what film, banned for decades in the UK and elsewhere, do these steps feature?
They are in Odessa, there are 192 of them, and I walked up and down them all today.You can do it!

Anyway
- trixie
- My birth certificate attests to my debut on a Saturday in the middle of May, 1977. You can thus deduce that I am a bullish Taurean, that I was born in the Chinese year of the Snake, that my Burmese animal is the Dragon. This means that I am wont to bellow, hiss, and breathe fire, to stampede, slither and fly. Because my birth certificate was stamped by a bureaucrat in service to Her Majesty’s Government, I am a citizen of the United Kingdom. Because both of my parents were practicing Australians, I am also a citizen of Australia. I have thus two passports both of which inexplicably contain photographs of some random grumpy refugee from an eighties hair band. This means that I am constitutionally duplicitous: I can change my mode from imperial to colonial at will; I can embody, at turns, Old World Charm and New World Pizzazz; I can personify the staid and stagnant as readily as the arriviste and anxious. I do not hold, nor have I ever held, a driver’s licence, a boat licence, a gun licence, a forklift ticket or a motorcycle licence. This means that I have never, ever had to moderate my alcohol consumption for fear that I might have to operate heavy or dangerous machinery.

Battleship Potemkin! Do I get a gold star? Or a revolution? Just a little revolution? An election say? Or a smartie, I like smarties.
Jellybeans for you, Jazlinka. RED jellybeans!
And there I was thinking you were speaking of the 1983 feminist work Serious Undertakings ...
On second thought, I guess that wasn't banned anywhere, and if I remember correctly, the pram goes up the steps.
well... young kevin isn't quite a red jellybean and not quite blue. yet purple doesn't seem to fit. is yellow a significance-laden political colour? he seems quite yellow to me. better than grey anyhoo.
I guessed Potemkin straight off! Cinema Studies in first year was worth it after all.
