Anonymous asked: When will this movie be aviable in Poland or in web? I really want to see it, but i can't. I'd watch it online (yes, i would download it via torrents or anything) and buy later when it comes out, but it's not even aviable for download.

Life at last! Salutations from the other side!
Yeah, this blog kinda died, if you hadn’t noticed xD
I got a job, started working, then NaNoWriMo happened, and this blog suddenly became a chore ^^’
Feels funny asking, since there are only 317 followers, but, what the heck! Can’t hurt to ask!
Anyone out there want to help out with this blog?
