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.

Who gives a damn?

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.
