Documentary Series 'The Supermodels' Coming to Apple TV+

Is it just me or does it seem strange to anyone else that they are all walking with their mouths open and in seemingly the same way?

I bet they were singing the same song as they walked out. Just my thought!

Come on Apple TV+, we need some good Sci-Fi movie!

it’s the best era of fashion and style for men and women. Think George Michael, Miami Vice, Pet Shop Boys, Whitney Houston, the rising stars of fashion design, rock and pop.

if people had more respect for their looks today we would have a better society. Instead people are sitting at home like losers with dirty hair, flicking through Tinder, dancing alone like a loser on Tiktokstagram and getting into manufactured imaginary race wars on Twitter.

Seems like looks are more a consequence of something. It's not like dressing better is going to make you use Tik Tok less.

I for one will watch it, they exploded on the scene and totally transformed the industry.

Totally agreed that they should do a documentary (or several) on science and scientists (I know a bunch of scientists, they’re not as different from regular humans as you might imagine). But on the models... you’re showing an awful lot of pre-judgement - assuming their day-to-day lives must fit your most pessimistic guesses. Why not watch a bit and find out. Maybe the documentary and the subject matter is as crass as you think. Or maybe, like all things, it’s more complicated than it appears on the surface. The documentary you’re describing sounds like a puff piece put out by Sports Illustrated or Victoria’s Secret, to promote their shows/products. Real documentaries are usually better than that, and Apple has shown so far that it wants to do real documentaries.

Oh, and if you want an awesome documentary on the lives and ambitions of world-class male supermodels, watch “Zoolander”, it’s absolutely hilarious (and will fit all your preconceived notions).

Yeah, I know you're right, and the truth is, of course I'll end up watching the supermodel documentary anyway. After all, I am a paid subscriber to Apple TV+, and I want to get my money's worth!!

P.S. Zoolander is HILARIOUS! For some reason, the scene that always stands out in my head is the scene with all of the male models having a gasoline fight in slow motion (set to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"), until one of them decides to light a cigarette. I couldn't stop laughing the first time I saw that!

I absolutely love that scene, and the way it all goes into slow motion, it’s all so deliciously ridiculous. The movie is so loaded with bits, it’s hard to pick a favorite scene. I have friends who will, to this day, quote “That Hansel, he’s so hot right now!”, and “What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building? [...] The building has to be at least... three times bigger than this!”, and “I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!”, and “I'm not an ambi-turner!”, and... well, you get the idea. It’s a fabulous movie.

Also crazy that one of his crazy brainless male model roommates turned out to be (absolutely brilliant as) the brooding Eric Northman in True Blood.

I'm a keen observer and a fan of good looking ladies and I'll grant that most supermodels are good looking.

But the pictures. Cropped at the knees, always cropped at the knees. These are supermodels, right? So why crop at the second least flattering place to crop a pic? The worst is to crop at the ankle, and I see that a lot too.

And not just on this article either; this seems to be a thing now.

So I must wonder if supermodels are hated by our media. Or maybe I'm completely out of it and you no longer need legs to be a supermodel; is that the modern thing now?

Sweet: a documentary about some of the most vapid people on the planet. How soon until Tim gets the rights to the entire catalog of Keeping Up with the Kardashians?

They were lip-synching to “Freedom” by George Michael. It was in reference to the music video they shot for the same song. The fashion show itself was one of the most iconic of all time. It might not be your “cup of tea” but, this moment in pop culture was huge. Apple is brilliant for the content they have curated for their streaming service. The standard of production quality that they have set, for themselves, has me ready to watch a documentary on paint drying. Let alone, four hugely influential women who took a multibillion dollar industry by the balls. Here’s hoping we get a release date soon!

No Helena Christensen ?
