Hollywood needs to quiet down at times

The Problem: Extreme sound volume variances while watching a movie with others sleeping in house.

What’s So Obvious: Home theater systems, TVs, Blu-Ray & DVD players should all be able to have a setting that lasts for the duration of a movie/show, or for a set timed duration, or until cancelled/device turned off, that causes the device to automatically adjust volume to keep it at a constant level despite volume variances in the audio of a program.

This has long seemed obvious to me as a parent…either the kids are watching a show in the morning that suddenly gets loud at parts while parents are trying to sleep, or the kids go to bed and my wife and I watch a movie where all of a sudden certain parts, especially musical portions, get loud.
