Re: What I think they should do to increase HD home movies

The more I read our threads the more I start to think that maybe we are ALL off target for massive success. Blu-rays true power may not be in the picture/sound aspect at all. It could be in the "What can it do that regular dvd cannot do arena". Ultra cool features that dvd promised, but never delivered.

The ability to remove violent content at will (as a special feature) would do alot. There are ALOT of people out there that would like to see certain films, but don't due to language,violence,sex. Blu-ray seems powerful enough to allow such a feature.

Hey bladerunner... I know of at least one movie - CRANK - that features an optional soundtrack option that removes the offensive language (toned downed/dubbed), and it's available on both the DVD and Blu-ray versions. I'm never impressed with bad language, and would rather avoid hearing it myself (movies like Scarface suffered from excessive and repetitive use of f-words). But occasionally it's done for comedic relief - that 'rent a car'/airport scene in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, comes to mind

"The Big Lebowski" uses a special button for eliminating just the F-word. It's called "Mute."

I wasnt really speaking for myself on that "idea" I had up there. That stuff doesnt bother me one bit. I have become "numb" if you will. I was just throwing out ideas to the fact that alot of people would like to see certain movies but because of a few bad words or scenes,or the R rating itself they avoid them. It would be a "feature" kind of like that old thing you could do with VHS. (Send it in and have it hacked for the people who wanted to watch "Titanic" without the titties.) All they would have to do is code the disc and then everybody could enjoy a movie like they would see it on normal t.v. Hence-"Blu-Ray is different than DVD...Everybody Can Watch ANYTHING!!!"
