There's no way watching "The Prince and the Showgirl" is better than watching anything.
How could you exclude King Ralph? Arguably the greatest movie about teaching people about how succession to the throne really works.
TCM is airing the Fred Astaire/Jane Powell musical "Royal Wedding" on Friday, so I think I'll go with that.
Your being dumb enough to consume/participate in the pre-wedding overhype does not make me dumb for watching the wedding. Fucking hipster.
Oh, dear. I will never forgive myself.
Now the day has come only few hours there for royal wedding so people around the world will watch the wedding T.V. media will also awaiting to live royal wedding all over the world so all wish them to live lifelong together with one or two children.
Any word yet on when the royal couple have been scheduled to sit with Jerry Seinfeld on "The Wedding Ref"?
What no "The Beautician and the Beast"?
