I thought the chat went well and am also surprised by some of the comments here. If you can't bother to attend the chat, don't whine that your question wasn't asked! Like all chats, there is some repetition, mainly due to people showing up late, and this is understandable.
Given the amount of animosity directed at Warner over the past couple of months, plus the ongoing Snapper issue (I still think they should steal AOL's keepcases and ship those AOL discs in Snappers instead), it is not surprising that there may have been some tension in the air. I was disappointed (but not surprised) with the reply to my question, but not because it was in any way rude, just because the titles I asked about weren't on the slate.
I think it is entirely gracious of the studios to allot us time for these events, and we should be appreciative of it, even if all the obscure films we would love to see come out aren't being responded to the way we'd like them to be.
I would make the comment to Warner that I was NEVER a buyer of VHS, and am not alone in catching the collecting bug as DVD came on the scene, so basing sales on how VHS collectors bought may not be an ideal model for what would sell to the DVD market.
I thank Warner for coming, and hope they'll come again.
My Mac IRC client (Ircle) works quite well BTW.
