Film 4 v Sky Movies - thats the battle currently going on,
on our small screens, as the quest for best movie provider hots up and within
that is another battle. Which is best for celebrity nudity?
A few weeks ago Film 4 changed its direction, going 'free to
air' and with it reaching a far greater audience than before. It is, however on
Sky’s satellite platform, which has ten movie channels and two cinema channels
for starters. Film 4, with just its +1 channel now, can also only call apon
occasional support from parent channel, Channel 4, and the rest of its family,
e4 and more4, for film output - still dwarfed in comparison really to Sky,
which can also boast no annoying advert breaks in any of its films.
Film 4 is a quality set-up though and with an impressive
back catalogue of movies. It is, probably, more for the dedicated film fan and
where also the occasional classic clip of celebrity film nudity will crop up.
Sky Movies, on the other hand, is constantly adding great new titles at a time
where nudity is becoming more acceptable in the film making process.
