Zellweger deserves it!

Watching "Judy" immediately reminded me of how I felt when I watched "Life of a Rose," although the former lacked some of the shock and sting of the latter.

Garland's life and Edith's life are a bright and tragic combination, and they are destined to be unforgettable by future generations. And every mention of Garland's name is associated with the "Stonewall Movement" 51 years ago, which makes her death more epochal.

Mature acting really takes time and years of precipitation. Zellweger is worthy of any awards given to her. I will watch "Life of the Rose" again tonight.

Judy quotes

  • Louis B. Mayer: Your name is Frances Gumm. You're a fat-ankled, snag-toothed rube from Grand Rapids. Your father was a faggot, and your mother only cares about what I think of you. Now do you remember who you are, Judy?

  • [first lines]

    Louis B. Mayer: What do you see beyond this wall? Picture it. You've got an imagination; go ahead. What I see is a small town in the Midwest. A handful of churches, somewhere for the farmers to get drunk together. Maybe a salon for their wives to do their hair on the holidays. I visit these places. These are the people who send us our profits. Who send us your wages. I make movies, Judy, but it's your job to give those people dreams. The economy is in the gutter, and they pay for you. And I'll tell you something else: In every one of those towns, believe me, there's a girl who's prettier than you. Maybe their nose is a little thinner at the bridge; they have better teeth than you; or they're taller, or slimmer. Only you have something none of those pretty girls can ever have. You know what that is?

    Young Judy: No, sir.

    Louis B. Mayer: You have that voice. It will maybe take you to Oz. Some place none of those pretty girls can ever go.
