And probably neither do they themselves while they're doing it, either.

I'm quite sure its a process involving a magic 8-ball, a ouija board, a hand selected panel of 80's movie stars, a full moon, and 3 sticks of butter [Smile]

That, in combination with what titles a studio has the rights to and thinks will sell - because of course, it's still a business after all...

Add another vote in for they have no idea what they're doing.

(Oh, and make sure that you use exactly 3 sticks of butter, that part is very important!)

Funny Wolfman....I did here from someone that they contacted the execs who own the rights to "Fire With Fire" and they have no intentions of releasing it to DVD. Hopefully they change their minds.
