   It wasn't well publicized, it was a niche title, direct-video, got mixed   
   reviews, and SF couldn't drag MK&B back from their RiffTrax   
   locker-room/sandbox without a bigger paycheck...Any guesses?   
      
   Although I'm wondering whether this news is actually a signal that   
   Warner might be dismantling "their" version of Rhino, as it's cheaper   
   than re-licensing all those Monkees, Krofft and GIJoe licenses they   
   never bothered to acquire in the first place, and which don't seem to be   
   on shelves at the moment anyway...   
   Not to say that Shout *wasn't* disappointed in Film Crew, of course, but   
   "our" Rhino couldn't have bought the old classic license if it wasn't   
   for sale.
