A company has done censored DVDs at the source. They are called cleanflims.com . But here we go with freaking out over our rights about censorship and creative rights of the artists. Who cares if they have a DVD player that can censor things for you. That is something a parent (such as I) have wished for. Those with kids care about the garbage that gets through the cable signals. I don't want my children to see explicit scenes of harsh language, nudity, or violence. When they are old enough to watch that it is fine but until then they don't need to hear or see it. The matrix classic example of censorship. It is an awesome movie. It got an R rating due to the nature and time it was released. Does anyone remember Columbine? Because of that event The matrix received an R rating. Otherwise it would have gotten a PG-13. I was fine with the movie other than them saying Jesus a lot through out the movie. The thing is this product is for those people or parents who want to watch movies but don't need senseless language - nudity - violence - or sex. Why is this hard to understand unless you don't have kids. I was a cop for quite a long time and have seen kids and how they are affected by what they see. I'm not saying that is the only factor with why they are they way they are (did that sound right?). But it does give influence. I am not just for censoring out nudity & language but the violence and sex as well. No ones has a problem with the old B&W movies where there was no blood when someone was shot, or graphic sex after someone was kissing. Casablanca for example. I am not some old fart but a parent in his 30's that tries to care about what my kids watch when they are allowed to watch. You can't censor everything but you can try to steer them in the right direction until they are old enough to make their own decisions. Just like you do not want to buy the RCA DVD player. It is your choice. Just like it is my choice to want to buy it. The V-chip has been out there for a while curtious of the liberal president Clinton but no one freaked out over that. Maybe because like most things you can turn it off. As for the creative rights. What about David Lynch? He directed an incredible movie called Dune. It was about 2 hours long. The movie company wanted an uncut version with over 30min put back in. David Lynch said no. The movie company did it anyways and it is released everywhere around the globe except in the USA. David Lynch faught to have his name removed from the crdits on that version. Where was his creative rights in keeping his vision pure. It was thrown out the window for profit. What a surprise. So that creative rights arguement is a load of bunk and holds no water for me. If the movie industry is so concerned about their product being tampered with then why don't they just release all movies in their entirety uncensored onto DVD. There is no complaint when TV censors them to show on the airwaves. Where is the freaking out and hair pulling on that. There isn't because it is a double standard. Well I'm done on my soap box so do what you will. I just needed to express my feelings.
