sky, the movie was great. A bit slow at times and a little on the artsy side but I really enjoyed it.

As long as there is enough of a plot, slow and arsty is ok.

I think the uniqueness of the story will carry me through.

RE: the name rabbits. According to my keyboarding script, there used to be a rabbit problem in Australia. I didn't know that!

The little buggers are such a problem that the technical term is "bloodyrabbits". Eat, breed, overeat, desertification.

We released mxyamotosis (1950s) and calice virus (1990s) which helped but of course the resistant rabbits survived to produce the future population, and also the viruses mutated to be less deadly. It is a constant struggle.

It was and in some areas there's no doubt about how far things have come. Still a long way to go-as Merc says, baby steps (or in some cases, slightly larger ones).

As far as Rabbit Proof Fence goes, my thoughts are that there is good movie making and there's true stories that need to be told. Rabbit Proof Fence is in the latter category-not that it's a bad movie and the more times I see it (about 8 times at last count), the more I appreciate it but as art it's not at the top of its genre. I'd say see it because it needs to be known what happened to Aboriginal people last century so that if anything can be put in place to stop this kind of thing happening again or these kinds of attitudes (A.O. Neville's) being perpetrated, then this perhaps is a tool in that particular battle.

Will check out streaming JJJ on the weekend. I'd forgotten about that. My internet connection is paid for, so no worries about running up horrendous bills.
