Classic Media Godzilla Blu-rays petition - Blu-ray Forum

madlost1 · 03-20-2014, 02:03 PM

With all the petitions popping up as of late I may as well throw my hat into the ring and attempt to get Classic Media to release the rest of the titles they have the rights to onto the format. Even if your only mildly interested please sign and help out with this one:

Mods can you move all these petition threads in the wish list section? This is starting to get ridiculous.

MifuneFan · 03-20-2014, 02:15 PM

Does Classic Media have an official site?

Thanks. I went there before posting, but I wasn't sure if it was the same company after browsing it a little.

Starting to get ridiculous??? There have been a total of 3 threads pop up for petitions. If you don't like them then don't click on them it's that simple. I highly doubt a few treads you aren't interested in will ruin your browsing experience.

Oh and by the way this was posted in the Hammer petition thread.

If that one is allowed to stay this should be too.

Why dont you all get together and discuss this all important issue over a cup of tea and then a group hug afterwords

Too much arguing in the world and not enough kindness and respect

I thought the ones Classic Media released are coming on bd from another company shortly? And the first GODZILLA is out from Criterion.

cakefactory · 03-20-2014, 05:42 PM

Have any of these petitions ever resulted in something getting released? Serious question. It seems like it must have worked at some point in the past but I am not aware of any examples.

Your probably thinking of Hedorah, Gigan, and Sea Monster. They were formally with Sony but are now with Kraken who are releasing them.

bgart13 · 03-20-2014, 06:17 PM

Yeah, you're right. Hard for me to keep them straight sometimes.

I was just going to ask the same question.

MechaGodzilla · 03-20-2014, 07:16 PM

Petitions for these kinds of things don't usually seem to have much effect, no, but my personal stance is that it's better than nothing. At least it's one more way to show that we want these titles, then if Classic Media choose to listen or not is up to them, but at least we can say we tried. If it works, that's obviously great, if it doesn't, well it was an attempt, and signing a simple petition only takes a few seconds of your time and minimal effort.

I've signed it.

Almost never.

BluProofie · 03-20-2014, 07:21 PM

Highly doubt Classic Media will release these. They did such an awful job with their Gojira blu that it's best to just hope that their rights expire and revert back to Toho. That way, someone better could pick them up.

Warner is looking very carefully at the Hammer one though.

redrunner97 · 03-20-2014, 08:18 PM

So, are we seriously doing this with everything now?

Next up, my pettition for [Insert Shitty Distributor Here] to finally give a damn about cult films... Not gonna happen. No offence, but these should be in the wishlist section, they are glorified wishlists and nothin more. Keep making them though, there's always a chance, as slim as it may be.

roy neary · 03-20-2014, 08:18 PM

Done! Can't hurt to try.

Pulp Hero · 03-20-2014, 10:20 PM

Instead of an online petition, anyone who would like Classic Media to release their Godzilla films onto blu-ray is better off contacting them directly with a polite email expressing interest in blu-rays of the movies.

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

Yep, I contacted them earlier. Their website sucks badly. Even their contact area is flash based so you can't just copy/paste links.

Here is the address for their home video distribution:
