MGM Turnaround?

well, maybe all the bitchin' is finally paying off.

a number of sites are now reporting that MGM is taking Escape from New York off the market. why? too many people have been pissed-off over the bare-bones release. MGM is supposedly planning a special edition release for 2002

this, and their recent "not-quite-official" announcement over the special ed release of Buckaroo Banzai has me wondering if we all shouldn't start bitchin' a little more and a little louder. maybe they will do justice to TCM2 and Pumpkinhead?
