Well, no. Scratch that. There are some things I know certain friends will never be into- I&#8217;m never going to marathon <i>Adventure Time<\/i>\u00a0with my friend Cristin, for example, but D-Rock totally has me covered- so I make my recommendations\/pleas\/demands based on what I think people will like.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, you know what my friend, erotic romance author\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bronwyngreenblog.blogspot.com\/\">Bronwyn Green<\/a>, likes? SHIT THAT WILL MAKE HER CRY. So, when I watched <i>A Royal Affair<\/i>, a movie about Caroline Mathilda of Denmark and that time her boyfriend kind of took over the monarchy and stuff, I was like, &#8220;This is right up Bronwyn&#8217;s alley.<\/p>\n<p>I was originally going to write a short review and tell all of you guys to watch this movie if you haven&#8217;t already, but what follows here is the transcript of our IMs as I forced Bronwyn to watch the movie and suffer as I suffered. I think it stands as a better testament of why you have to watch this thing.<\/p>\n<p>It also gives you a pretty good example of why you never, ever, EVER, give me your IM name.<\/p>\n<p>(I don&#8217;t know why I&#8217;m including a spoiler warning here, because the movie is sort of loosely based on events that took place in actual European history over two-hundred years ago, but, you know. SPOILERS or whatever.)<\/p>\n<p><a name='more'><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p><b>Jenny:<\/b>\u00a0AND OMG NETFLIX STREAM THE FUCK OUT OF A ROYAL AFFAIR.
