Why can't I fast forward most movies? How about slow-motion then? Why can't I play a movie with scenes in different order? Why can't I bookmark movie frames? Why can't I dub or caption movies with my own dialogue or in some other language and share with others or publish it? Why can't I write an XML file that creates a new movie out of one or more movies (regardless of location) at playtime? Why can't I do the same with music like playing Madonna's Beautiful Stranger in some funky way using a file created by my favorite DJ? What if I want Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct to have different hair color so I can see more clearly when she cross her legs? Why oh why?
If directors can have their own cuts, why can't I have My Cuts or My Buddies' Cut? DVD and choices it offers is cool, but its not enough. If I paid $14.99 for Harry Potter movie, I should be able to see it in other ways than studios intended. Decentralization is nice, but lets pull the plug on monopoly of presentation too. Let me dice and chop the bits anyway I want.
