In what might seem like a rare example of good sense from the Big Content industry, film studio Lionsgate has announced plans to sell special-edition DVDs that include an iPod/iPhone version of the movie.

Not so great news: The discs will be loaded up with DRM that requires a serial code to load the movie into iTunes and limits each disc to attachment to a single iTunes library.

Truly bad news: The initial releases are "Rambo" and "The Eye," which feels rather like a slap at the taste of Appletonians. "Rambo," in particular, seems like the kind of opus destined to be viewed on a low-end portable DVD player.
