Vaguely random thought

I see, next to constantly, ads for DVD releases of movies, promising special features, etc. They all seem to have deleted scenes on them now, and I remember a time when you had to search like hell for a DVD with subtitle options.

But one thing that's stuck in my mind that I've been meaning to mention is this...

Does anyone else worry about movie-makers that aren't going to worry as much about cutting a scene simply because they can stick it on the DVD?

I mean, I've heard discussions of how a director will agonize for days over whether or not a scene adds enough to the movie that it's necessary. But what about today, when someone could say "Oh heck with it, we change a line later, put the cut stuff on the DVD, and the people will still get to see it. Let's just get this thing in theaters." Maybe I'm weird, but sometimes I worry that directors could be cutting corners on movies, knowing they can make up for it later.

Has anyone else thought of this?

you could say that parts of movies lost forever (sorta) will now be seen on the dvd if they don`t make the cut for the film as in theatres.And that movie directors will still fuss and put the movie in as they see fit , or as ratings dictate (as in nudity or violence cut out to make a rating and put back in for the dvd)
