Convert Movies From R to PG13 to PG On The Fly

Posted by Hemos on from the strange-idea dept.

uchi writes "Trilogy Studios announced the launch of its "Movie Mask" web site - www.moviemask.com , which will eventually lead up to the release of its "Movie Mask DVD Player" and "Movie Mask Director" software. The Director software will allow users to selectively add/edit a video adding graphics and special effects, which is nothing special in my opinion. The Movie Mask DVD Player, on the other hand, will allow its users to download a movie config file(for lack of a better term) which will have various portions of the movies to bleep/cut out depending on the rating which the person set. It can be changed on the fly while watching the video. This seems like a good idea - it would allow many people who don't wish to be subjected to violence/nudity/language a chance to watch any movie they want without waiting months for it to be released on network television, already PG-13ized."

    You got the arrows going both ways, does that mean it'll let us turn a PG movie into an R movie, adding the content we want? :-)

    So does this give us the capability of converting classic kids movies to smut laden, profanity infested pr0n?


    Fantasia -> Minnie Does Orlando

    Little Mermaid -> Deep Inside Little Mermaid

    I think what we're really looking for is something that could take Harry Potter and turn it into Hairy Poke Her.

    I saw Natural Born *******. It is a nice love story between a bald man and a girl. But it seems to me a very short movie. Only 5 minutes long.

    Now I'm going to see A Clockwork Orange and Pulp Fiction

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Sure, you could adapt the software that un-pixelates those hentai images. Not that I'd know anything about that.
