I see your point, but Dancc sums up my thoughts, except about it being overrated.

About your other bit, theonlyweeman:

“Also, they can't stick it on at 10PM, they always start a film at 9PM on Film4, so unless they can find an hour long film, 10.55PM, is probably the earliest slot they can give it...”
Yes, that is a problem. There was a 9pm C4 film recent-ish-ly which resulted in The Guard premiering about 10.50pm. That's a perfect comedy film, to me, but it's also an 18 which restricts when it can be shown.

Definiteiy. Best to record first or start recording it and doing what you need to do so you can rewind bits, as there's so much going on that you have to watch most fights at least twice. That's one of the reasons I didn't see Raid 2 at the cinema. The other was that unlike the first film, it went on for a ridiculously long 150 minutes.

At 3am with windmill hands, sadly.

Trouble with their Universal films is that there's no DD5.1 on them. They're all Pro Logic at best. I should really ask them about this.
