I'd just also like to ask Optimum what the hell their problem is with releasing this film. First it was April 2009, then August, and now it's pushed back to February? Despite the article, and what loads of critics say, if the damn distributors can't do a fine job then Miyazaki will forever be just out of the public eye and everyone ... Read More
