Again. This is the third one. These are ideas that have been discussed on these forums for ages (you yourself have said how you want Lionsgate to show some respect for their horror stuff). The Godzilla fans have been all over this on all of the threads. These make sense. If Warner is willing to cooperate, these may just have a chance.

There is contact info on Classic Media's website: http://www.classicmedia.tv/

You'll never get a response. I did that weeks ago and nothing. With this an email is sent to them every time someone signs. It's not threatening in any way and is only showing them that there is interest out there with everyone that signs.

Let me guess: You're too young to have ever heard of PetitionOnline, right?

(And that's why you're not busting a gut laughing at "Change.org", and/or think it sounds really cool? )

Did the Weinsteins have them then? Not that I expect Dreamworks to be any better as Classic's newly welcomed overlords, but it's hard keeping track of who's got what now.

(And sometimes, Dreamworks Greed Is Good. They can't watch the new Godzilla movie come out for another studio and not want a piece of it...)

A personal response from Classic Media isn't necessary. An email from an individual tells CM that there's an interested customer out there, and I'm sure they have market research that shows that for every letter/email they get there are X number more interested customers. Me, or anyone else, contacting CM directly says that there is a real customer that cares about a product they can produce.

An automated email from an online petition might as well be spam, the very essence of personal contact is stripped away for what might as well be computerized gibberish. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if such emails get caught by company spam filters and directed towards the trash bin, never to be seen by human eyes.

The 9 Toho DVDs(7 Godzilla movies plus Rodan and War of the Gargantuas) were pretty good. Their Gojira Blu, however, was not. It's clear that they didn't understand the Blu-ray format back then.
