I can’t tell you how many movies I would not allow my kids to see because of one or two short scenes in the movie. It’s frustrating when movie makers don’t consider that in the process of making a movie.

However, the movies are the property of the movie maker. They are not this guys movies to edit and repackage.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had no trouble just skipping/fast-forwarding through objectionable scenes. I completely agree that the moviemakers hold the copyrights and their films shouldn’t be tampered with.

Why are movies different than any other private property I purchase and later sell? Can I not modify a car that I bought and re-sell it? Yet I can only re-sell a DVD if I haven't altered it, even if the buyer knows I've altered it? Even if the buyer prefers that I alter it?

The last movie my brother begged me to bring my nephews and nieces too was Toy Story 3 because he has a business engagement.

Even I enjoyed it. No political nonsense, just a great story for the entire family. Even I was almost in tears when Andy said goodbye in the end. I said “almost”..

We use ClearPlay and are very happy with it.

It is one of the companies mentioned in the article that did not get sued out of existence

Rather than cut special DVDs, the ClearPlay service skips over the gratuitous kid-un-friendly material on the regularly released DVD. Apparently skipping is legal.

You have to buy one of their special DVD players and subscribe to their service -- a modest price we're willing to pay because it really broadens the selection of movies that we can watch as a family

I use a Clearplay DVD player. The movies aren’t altered, the DVD player is programmed to do the editing.

There are so many movies that are marketed to kids that just one or two words are just nasty, and sort of ruin an otherwise great movie for me.

What about Bob and A Christmas Story come to mind. (The little boys using horrid language.) I mean, the fudge scene is cute but the kids saying A** to each other is not. When I was an elementary student in the 60’s I dont’ remember kids using profanity like today, so it rings wrong for me there also.

I don’t side with Hollywood on this one. If you buy a book, and mark out the curse words, that’s your business. Can’t you buy a DVD and send it to be edited? To me once you sell it, it’s not yours anymore. And to tell people what they can do with their personal property is leftist.

I would love to be able to do that. “Please take out all the kids cursing, or replace it like TBS does”.

TBS does a great job. I remember watching their edited version of What about Bob, they took out the references to tourettes and changed the kids cursing to slightly gentler words. (Jerk instead of douchebag). And I couldn’t even tell the difference.

That Hollywood insists on people being exposed to nastiness makes me positive they have an truly evil agenda.
