So who’s curious about what to expect concerning picture quality at the premieres, should take a look a this.

It’s been more than a month since the last post, we really are lame, sorry for that. But at least only the blog suffered of a lack of updates, the film hasn’t.

Ok, actually the messages were totally normal, but hey! Whatever, Fabian’s doing pretty good and he even sent some impressions from the Hospital. Apparently, the lucky guy got around a catheter…
