One month on - some more promos:

SBS promos are using the terms āSBS World Movies Premiereā (for movies that have aired on another network in the past but not SBS) and āFree To Air Premiereā (for FTA first run movies).
Examples tonight with āThe Ice Stormā (for the former) and āShin Godzillaā (for the latter).

Just saw promos running before, theyāre movies set in/around the same period that his new movie āOnce Upon A Time In Hollywoodā is in, out in cinemas at the moment 
Must say, this channel has one of my favourite on air presentations at the moment.
It looks bloody good!

The countdown clock till next program split screen thing is great, also keeps end credits.

Would be perfect if they could reduce the ads to say, one 5 minute break per hour, or a 10 minute intermission at the middle of the movie (with a ticker to when the movie will continue).

I thought they got money from the government for this station
Disappointed this channel only rated 0.6% last night (although yes Ashes cricket, Block launch, AGT strong and lots of thereās not helping), was an outstanding movie on, so so good!
I (probably bias 
) recommend this new channel, give it a watch. A mix of foreign language hits and indie Hollywood hits, many first runs or network premieres too.

Yeah I found myself glued to it a few nights back as well. I forget the name of the movie but it was about a young drummer going to music school and being hammered by his asshole of a teacher. Was a really good flick. I donāt think I would have ever watched it otherwise.
Whiplash?

Ooh! Iāve wanted to watch this, will add to the list. Must say, JK Simmons is a terrific actor.
Ok I read that the wrong way
On other matters - I did watch most of one featuring one of the flight of the Conchords guys a few weeks ago which was good - and Iām not a movie watcher

And coming up on SBS World Movies to name just a few:
-āLantanaā (2001) acclaimed Aussie thriller from Ray Lawrence, which swept the AFI Awards. Stars Geoffrey Rush, Kerry Armstrong, Anthony Lapaglia and American Barbara Hershey.
-āWhat Maisie Knewā drama starring Academy Award winner Julianne Moore and Alexander Skarsgard. Highly recommended, a wonderful story!
-Premiere of āEverything Must Goā, a more mellow than usual comedy with the great Will Ferrell.

My only bugbear with it is that itās far too big - thereās no need for it to take up half the screen
Think either of them would be far too long for an ad break to last for. It reminds me of the UK model where they have fewer ad-breaks per hour but they last longer (around 4 - 5 minutes) - as someone who watches a fair bit of UK TV, I can attest that those breaks often feel too dragged out
