Used a sick day to get out of work. I do not have the energy to put up with the holiday rush lol. I don't know what the plan is for the rest of the day now, maybe read some more? I started The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome on my way home last night, so maybe I'll get comfy and read the next chapter of that. I've been meaning to watch Nosferatu as well, so maybe it's time for that. I don't really know anything about the movie other than the fact that it's an old vampire movie, so hopefully it'll be interesting.

Do you all prefer to go into media blind, or do you prefer to know what you are getting into? Personally, I like going in knowing as little as possible, but for movies/shows I sometimes end up learning a lot before watching anyways, because I like to watch with my wife if she's interested, but she can't watch really violent stuff and unfortunately there is a lot of that out there.

Going in blind into something that turns out to be good is sooo satisfying. Probably because it's so rare... It's like finding a gem

I haven't seen Nosferatu, but if I were to plan on seeing it I would do a little research on the historical context and phase that cinema was at when it came out. It helps to appreciate the film and see it in the lens of its time vs the bias I might have from film having evolved and grown from that period. Spoiler free as possible!
