But mutt, there's no reason for him to go to the video guys to do this. He needs to go to the guys that own giant chains of adult stores and do this sort of thing, or the guys that push thousands of dvds on late night infomercials to do this thing.
Business people with distribution in place, as opposed to a bunch of ragged out, doped up clueless losers like the ones I saw at the Venetian Friday...

KK you are a world class shit talker. How are you an authority on the "video guys"?
What giant adult video chain are you referring to? The mythical one? The largest adult vid chain has maybe 70+ stores. There are mainstream chains that carry adult but they cater to the $2- $3.50 product. Oh and did I forget to mention they have 1,000s of titles to choose from every month?
Mutt is correct when he says a few of the largest adult "video guys" control distribution to the Towers and Virgins. Do you think they want some unknown dude named Hooper (much as I respect you and your co. Hooper) calling up and saying "hey I got this great bunch of DVDs, well four actually, that I want you to buy for $10 each"? Click.
Plugger you are out of your league.
Back to KK- "ragged out, doped up clueless losers"? You sound bitter. Do you know all those "video guys" personally? The first time I met you at the Xpays/Homegrown 4:20 breakfast in Vegas a few years back you looked a little worse for wear.
Back to Hooper. It is not easy to break into mass store dist. for DVDs and VHS- too much product, lots selling at catalog price of $1- $2.50. The big dist don't want the little producers- too much hassle to deal with even more product codes, barcodes, inventory, etc. They just don't give a shit. You are either an established player or not. Look at Mike South- he bounces around trying to find a better dist deal and they just aren't there.
No dist company wants to do all the leg work to sell your product and give you the $$$ you are probably looking for. Now if you had a Pam and Tommy Lee type tape it is a different story.
Too much supply today feeding limited demand.
