| | | When the World Just Kicks Yr Ass, What do ya Watch?
Me, I Just finished buying the entire collection of Sex and the City. OK, I only need to get the last part of Season Six. That will be done within the next few weeks.
For some reason, that's the show I resort to when the world is just too much and I just want to disappear for awhile. "Carrie" even bugs the crap out of me lots of the time but the whole show itself sort of makes me feel better for some reason.
How about you guys?
What's your movie or show that's kind of a security blanket for those times when the world is just kicking your ass? |

| | | The Gilmore Girls. Season 5 is playing now, actually.
Happy, sad...and everything in between. It is my ultimate comfort show. I've been rewatching season 1 and I miss when Rory Gilmore felt like my role model. She couldn't be any more different from me now.
Even when they're suffering through heartbreak or a loss...it's never depressing. It's too witty and too upbeat for that. |

| | | For me, it's Monty Python's Flying Circus, or Law and Order:SVU. Good stuff, it always takes my mind off my problems!
As for movies, it's 24 Hour Party People. Always makes me laugh (the Happy Mondays parts)... |

I used to have Sid & Nancy, I need to also get it again. I love that film, even though it's pretty harrowing at times. I've seen it so many times, I'm sure I memorized the script... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYz2lg8bzAI |

| | | I like to get lost in the sopranos, I own almost every season. And for lots of laughs I watch the blair witch project . . . there's maybe a few minutes of that entire movie that is not funny. |

| | | Ive seen the box set of Sex & The City all the way through 4 times..yes I am sad & lame...I have seen certain episodes though like more than others because sometimes I get "oh I wanna see her say that" and put it on..
Queer As Folk American version is rather good too. |

The first episode I saw was this one with this littler girl from mexico being kept in a basement and used for child porn and they were trying to find her and her captor almost buried her alive with the tutus and fairy costumes he'd make her wear in the porn. I got so freaked out and upset by that episdoe b/c it was really similar to a news story in Canada from the year before that I can't watch that show. Apparently I'm too "sensitive" for prime time t.v. |

But I love Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni together, usually they end up getting the bad guys...for some reason I just find this show addictive! |

I usually scroll past it and press "info" and read the show description. It's usually terrifying sounding like "A boyscout leader is accused for sexually abusing and murdering three thousand boys." I don't know the names of the actors, but the one female detective who was keeping the little girl on the phone while they tried to track her down was pretty good, she was really emotional and got me all verklempt. She's slender and pretty with a dark bob, i think. She looks hispanic....Anyway, I don't know if I could watch that show alone. I'd need a buddy. |

| | | Whoops, on topic:
My feel-good tv shows are What not to Wear, America's Next Top Model and sadly, Canada's Next Top Model and sometimes Sex and the City (depends on the episode, some just make me more angsty).
Feel-good movie: Sense and Sensibility (soooooooooooo comforting, the best movie ever for when you're blue) |

She's one of the few "celebrities" that I really admire, she is a cool person. |

| | | Apparently, lately, I turn to cartoons that I watched as a kid...it's rather embarrassing but I've even watched Garfield and Friends recently, in light of how much I hate the new "Garfield". |

Violence in general doesn't bother me but sexually abused kidnapped children are too much to handle. But I'm even too sensitive for the news. I had to stop watching it. Especially after a natural disaster, I won't sleep for a week if I watch 10 minutes of news.
Usually to hide from the world I make like an old woman and watch sitcoms on lifetime. I like designing women, the golden girls, and will and grace best. I like sex and the city a lot but I don't know that it's one of my "comforting" shows. When I was missing my boyfriend a couple of months ago I downloaded Tristan and Isolde and watched it a few nights in a row and cried all through it every time. I hate to admit to being this shallow but movies are so much more effective when there's a gorgeous man like James Franco playing the lead. Garden State is a good sappy movie to watch, and Closer is good for when I'm in a bad mood and hate the world, though occasionally it makes me decide that there's no point to life or love and I should give up now. It's got a very depressing message.  | |
