Quote

it is over rated, Life of Brian is much better

Agree, but I didn't have a useful quote from that about swallows

[kenberg]

I have friends who praise Monty Python. I never could get into it. But then, except for his role as Harry Lime in The Third Man, I never understood the wild enthusiasm for Orson Welles either. I guess a guy who can cause a national panic by broadcasting "news bulletins" about an invasion from Mars has to be given some respect though.

I also am fond of Some Like it Hot (my daughter once mulled over opening a coffehouse with that name). The last line, I believe, is "Nobody's perfect".

As near as I can recall, I like everything Billy Wilder has ever directed.

[kenberg]

But think of me as a future fan. What was the quote?

I would have said 0/10 myself... but which one is not 'not'?

[finally17]

Which "not" is wrong, hidden:

Spoiler

Gooseberries are from China. What they are commonly known as, "kiwifruit," implies that they are not, but they are.
