I wish that

1. I could click the main menu and have them place the missing or delted scenes in the movie, I have seen a few movies that the missing scene would have help me enjoy the movie, plus the damn thing in on there anyway let me see it.

2. That there was a menu setting for me to choose "remove swearing and breif nutity" I would like to watch some of the movies with my kids, and the ratings are not enough to tell where they draw the line, a few of the "kids" movies have some things my 7 & 5 year old don't need to hear, like Shrek!

3. Also, issue the damn things once! I want all the goodies the first time around!!

4. Lastly (really should havve been first OAR "original aspect ratio" on DVD's PERIOD

Thank you for listening to me rant.

    H-Bomb,

    I was much easier when I was single as well. Now I am forced to comply with wishes of my wife and her attorney.

    HBombToo: HAHAHA! That was just funny!

    I wish all DVDs had more NUDITY! AND more VIOLENCE! Whenever you clicked on a menu item, random images of **** would flash on the screen. That would be great. And following that would be some guy getting decapitated.

    Wouldn't life be grand? :)

    That would be great, esp. when I have my parents and in-laws over for movie night.

    I would like this too, but the problem is that the majority of 'deleted scenes' are cut from the movie before the final mastering and editing process. So the sound, video, and everything else would not match the final version of the movie. For example, you would see 3 seconds of a scene that looked horrid, out of contrast, sounds horrible, and did not match the surrounding frames. Also your DTS/THX/DD or whatever would cut out for those few moments.

    Is it worth it? I say no, but if the scenes were mastered... then sure I'd love to be able to slap em into the movie as you watch it.

    As far as the rest, I agree.

    Along w/soundtrack options, maybe they could have "normal version" & "sicko version", w/a happy face by the nl version & a leering, drooling happy face beside the one we all want to watch.

    Billm57 have you seen this movie? No nudity or any of the 7 words you can't say on TV, but it is full of one liners and overtones for adults, I am tired of my kid running around saying "I got the booty" or after watching Stewart Little my 5 year old saying "talk to the butt" and on Harry Potter "he should have landed on his fat ****" these little things make me mad I guess, movies geared for kids with these types of lines.

    Stick with Disney. Their adult overtones are so cryptic that most adults don't get em...
