DVD Format Changing Movie-making

rgmoore writes "The Los Angeles Times is running an interesting article on the impact of DVDs on the movie making process. They briefly mention the possibilities of end-users being able to re-edit the movie (with a veiled reference to The Phantom Edit) but focus more on the way that it's starting to influence directors and producers during the course of making the movie."

Good

Does this mean I can change the end of the recent "Planet of the Apes" so it makes sense and doesn't suck? I'll add my own commentary too -- anything is better than the sham that Tim Burton slapped together on that disk.

News for nerds, stuff that matters

[erroneus]

How is THIS story pertainant to anything Slashdot regularly comments on??

And wasn't michael supposed to be fired after he posted that repeat story about the face-motion-recognizing-cell-phone technology? That's what one of the comments by other editors said... followed by someone else saying "how many times does it have to be said before it's true"?

Everyone's a critic, I know but this story doesn't fit.

Flamebait?

[KDENCE]

Is an opinion flamebait? So I take it just cause a comment such as the one I made causes a string of replies then that means that it was my intention to spark up conversation or arguement? Common, give me a break fellar! My commnet was just that a comment. I am getting tired of individuals mod'ing my comments as if I had nothing better to do on a Sunday night than to post a "flamebait" comment (I think this is either my second or third since I have started posting). Give me a break, look at my history of articles and see if that is my style. Sorry if I sound a little ticked off, however I think that it is silly that because of a moron with a mod point who decided to use this against me and better yet a tag of "flamebait" on my comment which I made with a sincere heart and I think is true just will not get seen by individuals who might think like me that this would help bring cleaner entertainment into our homes. Anyway, tahnks for lending me your eyes and minds in ths gripe session! "Entertain the Brutes"

I'd have to say ... not bad for my FIRST EVER TROLL POST.

Eh, i've got 50 karma, always wanted to see what it felt like to troll.

Can i get a hall of fame anyone? For my new method?

Who gives a damn?

[evilviper]

Remeber the Slashdot slogan? News for nerds, stuff that matters. This doesn't exactly qualify as news and it sure as hell doesn't matter one damn bit.

Slashdot is getting to be more and more like the mainstream news media. I hear 2 minutes about the conflict between Israel and Palestine, and 10 minutes about the bus driver's strike, and another 10 about how all the movie stars dressed at the latest hollywood function.

Who gives a damn? It's not important in the slightest. Besides, if we kept up on all the rumors and assumtions on what's going to happen in hollywood, there'd be tons to read about, and 1 in 10,000 would actually have a small bearing on reality.

Go right ahead and mod me down if you like... I'm posting at +2 because I've got too much karma to care, and this is a rant. But it's informative, insightful, ontopic, and neither flamebait or a troll.
