Saint Young Men is a Japanese slice of life comedy manga series written and illustrated by Hikaru Nakamura. Its plot involves Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha, who are living as roommates in an apartment in Tokyo.
I think the most anxiety-inducing plot element is Jesus keeps missing out on grocery market sales.

I always imagine that Repo Man is like Cable Guy but that's probably really inaccurate. Incidentally, I really like Cable Guy for the same reason.

Repo Man is nothing like Cable Guy

Haha okay, I will address this misperception.

I'm guessing sarahell's suggestions are jokes based on the weirdness of recommending a film about an alcoholic as a 'nice' film? But that's not the whole story w/ what happens in Harvey, so it's kind of misleading. Though, as I said before, personally I do think it's a sad film.

i find movies about genocide quite nice, not being a victim of genocide or attempted genocide is quite emotionally uplifting.― sarahell, Thursday, August 11, 2016 Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I was anticipating your return to this thread, but videos aren't working right now so I can't gauge how scathing you're being...

everyone else is getting the monolith from 2001 too then?
― nomar, Thursday, 11 August 2016 22:17 (seven years ago) link
Yes. Though that in itself could be inherently soothing. There's a thread about it here.

The documentary the eagle huntress about eagle hunting (ie hunting with eagles) among Mongolian nomadic tribes is a nice film

I don't normally go to these inspirational docs but it was free and in my hungover state it did the trick. It's about this 13yo girl who becomes a master eagle hunter despite this being a proscribed role for women - she's a fucking hero tbh, wrangling this avian almost as big as she is. I could have done without the drippy sia theme song but it is that kind of film let's face it, or as close as a film about heading into some of the harshest conditions imaginable to kill foxes can be
