10 Thoughts I Had Watching 'Meet Me In St. Louis For The First Time'

Who else here hates John?

100
Judy Garland

In This Article:

As a huge Judy Garland fan, I have been trying to watch all of her movies, and recently I crossed "Meet Me In St. Louis" off that list. Here are 10 thoughts I had throughout the film!

1. This "Meet Me In St. Louis" song will never not be in my head again, will it?

By the time we are 10 minutes in, three characters have already sang this song, and I know most of the words.

2. Judy Garland really is gorgeous

And no, I'm not just partial to gingers. She is one of the prettiest actresses in history but lived her entire life trying to change herself to please movie producers. This is the first picture where she is not wearing her studio issued dental caps and "nose disks."

3. This party looks awesome

Everyone is having a good time, everyone is dressed all fancy... Looks like a good time to me!

4. How old is Margaret O'Brien in this? 

Keep in mind, Judy is 4'11, which makes Margaret TINY. I actually ended up Googling this while I was watching, and she was 6 going on 7. Seriously, the amount of talent in such a little baby is incredible!

5. I wish people actually sang like this on the subway when someone was feeling lovey-dovey

10/10 would improve any and all commutes.

6. Are Tootie's dolls okay?

What are these 4 fatal diseases? How did this happen? Why is this man so calm about this?

7. Tootie! No! What is this terrible flour thing? What happened to trick-or-treating?

Who are these kids, starting fires, burning furniture, and throwing flour in strangers' faces?

8. I love the grandfather

He is so kind to his granddaughters and almost makes up for their virtually absent dad.

9. OMG, I hate John 

"College takes too long," "I can just get a job"... if only that were plausible today.

10. Damn, they have a lot of kids

During the 2 a.m. family meeting, we finally see all of the kids in one room (plus Grandpa being his awesome self in the back).

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
