I'd love to have garbage filter for dvds. I, for one, can live without the "reality" of hearing "f#ck" and worse in every other line, or watching and listening to the leading man take a leak.

In recent years, I've seen many otherwise fine films completely ruined by pointless coarseness that has no relationship to the film's content. Language went south a decade ago, the urinal has become ubiquitous, and scenes of toilet activity are becoming more and common. Seems that writers and director have fixations on this crap (unintended pun), and insist we and our kids get immersed in it. And todays actors seem to genuinely enjoy showing how tasteless they can be. Just because one doesn't enjoy 5-channel bathroom sounds or adolescent overkill of the language, doesn't mean your somehow repressed.
