Because I've been stressed, I've been watching a bunch of trash holywood films, and some hammer monsters, and some kung fu flicks. 40s - 90s. Not a lot of public domain stuff this round, because I've seen nearly all of that that falls in to any of the genres I care anbout.
It's an easy de-stressor for me, and a good way for me to refresh and brainstorm on TV production stuff.
This is good. It's useful, it's entertaining, and I can call it research, but it is not living my values.
