My most rewarding experiences with albums and discovering new music have come from reading blogs, a thing that's probably over by now... I haven't checked. I think because it works as just a recommendation that you have to jump sort of blindly to, but you end up trusting the curation of others ...

I saw Brazil, Oldboy, and Double Indemnity too, same watch group as Atomic. But I also saw Transformers One on the day between those and honestly really enjoyed it. I don't know much about Transformers media in general, and from what I heard this movie kinda got brushed aside and didn't do very well ...
