Todays news about the Silverlight based player for PC and Mac explains part of the reason why its taking a while to get all the Starz encodes the way we want them. Starz added 2500 movies to the catalog, we got 1000 of them done for the launch. For Silverlight, the entire catalog of 12000+ movies needs to be re-encoded in a different format at various bit rates. Your valuable feedback on encodes that should be better is appreciated.

Storytelling (2001)
The sex scene between the young white student and large black teacher is censored, however the sex scene between the same girl and the guy with cerebral palsy is not.
Fear of a Black Hat (1994)
The entire film is not just bleeped, little censor icons cover up peoples lips and gestures as they bleep. Some words such as "ass" and "bitch" are not. The movie is a "mockumentary" of a fictitious Rap group, NWH, so you can imagine how often the bleeps occur.
Seeing as it expires on dec 3rd 2008 its probably to late to matter, but at about 1 hour and 8 minutes the audio cuts out and crucial dialog is missed leaving the viewer in lack of know what was said. even though the movie resolves I felt I missed out on an important small bit to the resolution of the movie.
Also it appears a post I thought I made about The Adams Family Vol 1 isn't here. When I watched it a couple weeks back some of the episodes that played were not the episodes described. With closer inspection it was discovered that at least a couple were just switched with each other while one episode was actually missing from being playable because it was a duplicate. I'd have to go back and check all of them to detail it but reading the synopsis before watching a short amount of the beginning of the episodes will arrive at what ones are wrong and which one is missing due to the duplicate. Unless it has been fixed since I watched them. If that is the case then I will want to watch the one that was missing.
Added. Since titles can have their expiration date removed, or put back on to watch again at a later date, it might need to be fixed at that point. Also, it's good for those in charge to be aware.
I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding the Addams Family.
that's probably the most articulate and heart-felt thing ever committed to print about "daddy day camp". It sucks to be robbed of the resolution of movies. Until they fix this issue with Daddy Day Camp, you'll have to roam this earth as a vacant husk, suspended in anticipation to learn if Charlie ever earns a few lessons about wilderness, survival and forgiveness.
