    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Damn. I've never seen this film, and really want to. Tried to find it on the telly last week, and all I could see was something made in about 2003. That can't be it surely? AND they wanted me to pay to watch it

    I really need to pay more attention to the TV listings.

    That good eh? Must be quite an old film then, there's been nothing made in the last ten years that I could sit through more than once.
