Glad I could help! :)
This is the chance to make an auditory essay, interacting with the video and audio, and I'm looking forward to it. Fascinating as the subtitle commentary is, the audio commentary has the chance to go beyond the "what" and explore the "why" and "how" questions --- and that's too good to miss.
Plus you'll get to flesh out the details of those shots that simply say "FX" on the subtitle track... which I must say I found a wee bit frustrating, wanting to know so much more.
Only suggestion is to outline your intended talking points beforehand, so that in the moment of recording you don't suddenly wonder what might have come next.
Definitely. Good example of a very well-prepared commentary: Robert Rodriguez, "El Mariachi." The guy barely takes a breath!
