People are always sending me things they see online in case I want to write about them. I mostly take Saturdays off with only the occasional post here and there. Today I was sent a link to a very short film starring Gigi Hadid.
It is a very annoying seven minutes.
I figure if I suffered through it, then you guys have to as well.
I thought we might make a game out of it. Let’s do a movie review.
Here’s mine.
Those Wrecked By Success
A better title for this film would be A Series of Very Annoying Sounds. At least then it would be an accurate title. Apparently, we are to feel sorry for the poor little rich girl who has everything she wants. Except perhaps a tea bag. Toward the end of the film she seems to be attempting suicide by Lymeopause by traipsing through tall grass half nekkid. Sadly, she abandons that plan for a swim.
Seriously, WTF is this? Click the link below. I can’t wait for your reactions.

Ugh, my dream house. And my dream weather. Winter in Upstate NY is killing me. NOW THAT would make someone want to end it all.
That’s about it.
I was focused on the house too! And other random thoughts. The sconces in the bedroom were mounted in the rock wall. And I’d probably be thinner if I had a pool.
My neighbor also has her milk delivered. Why?
I didn’t think it was terrible probably because I lost some gray matter watching it.
WTF is this? My sentiments exactly. It was excruciating to try to get through those 6+ minutes – had to keep fast-forwarding. People actually had their names associated with this piece of nonsense? I’d leave the country and pretend I knew nothing about it. Maybe some other commenter can explain this? There has to have been a reason for it that sane people can comprehend. Gigi is irritating enough – rich, beautiful kids whose parents buy them a career are hard for me to stomach – then when you add this narcissistic, inexplicable “short film”, it becomes nausea-inducing.. I see why you had to share this, Tamara. Some things are just too bizarre to be ignored.
Tamara thank you for sharing this video with us. We enjoyed watching this. For me this is shades of Diana Ross movie Mahogany.
I’m glad Gigi made this short movie! Usually these are brought to film festivals – like Sundance and sometimes are grabbed and made into full length movie.
The ultimate storyline
– celeb/award winning/glamorus/public
– but in private she wants just alone time
– she is not doing drugs/having celeb filled parties 24/7
– she lets the phone ring (inference no contact with anyone)
– swimming in her underwear (symbolizing not following anyones rules)
of course I could be wrong and she made this and sent it to her momanger and her bosses to let them know – don’t bother me on my day off
I usually love your comments but Mahogany???? I strongly and respectfully disagree. I adore that flick. This was pure dreck. Thank God for fast forward, I shrunk it down to approximately three minutes (Still too long)
This MUST have been conceived or directed by Yolanda. “My Gigi, wins da Oscar! (!)” (“And btw, have you met my second daughter, Bella?”)
Sorry I saved 5 minutes. I could only waste 2 minutes on this. Enjoy the rest of your Saturday! (I gladly read your posts for way more than 7 minutes…none are “wasted”.)
samael, I’m impressed, you truly got something out of it.
I got, “I really don’t like phones ringing.”
Hey Cheryl!
that was a land line phone! so loud and odd sounding
Hey Sam! I thought it was a cell phone set on that style ringtone because I thought I heard it vibrating as well. Who sets their cell to that anyway lol. Either way it was annoying AF but I enjoyed reading your take on the film.
Good afternoon QUEENMARIE88
I forgot that cells have that ringtone! I don’t have one, good ear QUEENMARIE88! thanks for saying nice things about my thoughts!
Have an awesome Happy New year!
I mute my landline, and have used a total of 8 mins. talking on my cell in December.
Voicemail or text, that is my tolerance for phones.
My bff knows to say what she needs, I say okay, you okay? And we are done.
Cheryl
The most we did was cancel our cable and put the TV in the closet for 18 months
samael, wow, I couldn’t, unless I had internet to watch all my shows, lol.
Did you read? That’s a long time. Did you get tired of tv?
That’s such an accomplishment. I freak out if I don’t get Bravo or Investigation Discovery, lol.
This is how we got in the habit of walking on the beach everyday – we talked alot! this is going to sound super sappy – yes we read – out loud – my favs were sherlock holmes and hers – Jackie Collins and Sydney sheldon.
The time zoomed by.
samael, I think that is fantastic. It sounds like what a lot of us should be doing.
thanks Cheryl – we only did this cuz the cable bill was out of control! I’ve done this a couple of times, just because. and I am also the first to freak out when twitter is down!
samael, whew, I started worrying that you were dealing with an illness and were spending quality time together.
Glad that isn’t the case, and our biggest bill is cable, so makes me feel better.
Happy New Year’s and good health!!!
you’re funny cheryl!
Happy new year to you!
I do believe the film is a few years old as I think Gigi posted it on get Twitter page at the time.
So… what’s wrong with it exactly? It’s basically an extended beauty ad for her and a chance for the director/editor/producer/stylist to show off their work. I guess I just don’t get the need to be nasty about something just for the sake of being nasty.
Who’s being nasty?
Me. It is the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen.
Like ridiculously stupid,
Totally agree, TT. And what is so annoying is their arrogance in foisting this crap upon us, as if we are too dumb to call it for what it is. A no-talent film about no talent.
But she trotted through the grass and went for a swim in her private pool during her ennui?
Were you somehow forced to watch it?
Read here often do ya??
So Karen, you must be new here?
Been here since the beginning.
But just to make sure I’m clear, the point of posting here is to be nasty? Got it!
Actually, the point was to laugh and laugh and laugh at the ridiculousness of this.
Sorry, there’s just too much meanness in the world today. It’s not GiGi made the film herself, taking money out of her own pocket to show her life story.
If this is her life story, where are the yachts?
A wardrobe person for a bra, panties & a robe? My title would be, “Seven minutes I wasted when I could have been making guacamole.” She did look pretty though.
And then you could have been eating guacamole which is even better!
I just finished making a batch of guacamole but I’m not sure if it’s spicy enough. Chopping onions was more enjoyable than watching that video.
Sebastian Fawns is now on my Festivus Grievance list.
Someone should slap him.
Had to stop when she drank the milk out of the bottle. Because who gets milk delivered in a bottle? I guess a beautiful actress who puts on a bra under her pegnoir ((pengoir? penoir?)
There’s a “music video” version where they set it to Halseys Gasoline. It actually makes a good video (and it’s shorter)
Yes! As I was watching this I could have sworn I’d seen a Halsey music video with GiGi from
a couple years back just like this.
I copied, but the link wouldn’t paste into the silk browser, so I saved 6 min. 45 seconds.
Don’t know anything about her, anyway.. But I will read the comments happily.
Gawd awful bad acting. The film just needed to be shortened by its full short length. And Gigi never has to worry about winning an Oscar. Nauseating.
Darling, most Oscars are bought her parents can afford it
BAHAHAHAHA LMAO I just showed this to my 18 year old son and his best friend they said it was the most stupid boring thing they ever watched in their life
Poor famous people. Ignoring phone calls, drinking strange milk outside the door, walking through weeds, bathing in a pool. Staring vapidly at the 4th wall, shades of the movie Mother.
Omg. You are all being so nasty.
Yes, yes we are. If by nasty you mean laughing our asses of at Gigi and Karen.
Hehehe!
All boiling water, no tea bag. A wandering solitude tracing the heath beyond the mansion, empty but for the memory of one almond.
Dear Frosty,
I love you. You are perfect.
Dear Frosty,
I love you. You are perfect.
OMG that’s hilarious
I’m sure whoever made this film was an english lit major because its filled so many corny metaphors; the Hollywood sign covered in haze (that probably once seemed bright and clear to a rising starlet), the constant ringing phone (that she once prayed would ring), her Oscar speech (is this truly a dream come true?) Her life has been wrecked by the success she thought she wanted. I guess that”s why she left the milk out to spoil. (probably a corny metaphor too)
I learned that GigI should just pose pretty for pictures and not speak or (try to) act. I looked up the film maker and he’s a famous fashion photographer who should stick to that.
AND I apparently have more than seven minutes of my life to waste 🙂
I appreciate your indulgence, I was checking the credits for Yolanda. 🙂
First, I just don’t find her to be pretty, beautiful, sexy, attractive, anything, at all. I generally don’t comment like this about people’s looks but she has been one of the highest paid models for the past several years and I see her constantly in adverting because she is supposedly so good looking. She’s not even alluring in a nontraditional-beauty kind of way. I’m sorry, I just don’t see it at all. Her eyes look so blank and dead all the time.
Second, her voice is like the aural version of her eyes. Flat, blank, dead of emotion. She delivered her lines so weirdly and horribly. She has that sort of nasal, monotone, millennial voice that so many people have nowadays, and I blame the kardashians.
Third, I don’t believe Gigi Hadid (and she was apparently playing herself) would have that many books. I can imagine her having a library full of books that were all bought because they had pink spines or something. Or a bunch of prop books that are covered in some pretty leather/paper for show, but not such a large library of books that are not bought simply for aesthetic reasons.
This is my life every day, Reading comments this, She’s ugly she’s dead inside, She is stupid and can’t read books!!!!!
I mean it was a ridiculous and pathetic venture, But Gigi is gorgeous,
Lol, the part about the books made me laugh.
Reading is not a superhero talent.
Speaking of books, what does everyone think about the current design trend to have books on shelves with the pages facing out instead of the binding? Personally I hate it and have the urge to rearrange the books whenever I see them like that.
What fresh hell is THIS? I’ve never seen such a thing,
They’re showing it on all the HGTV shows and I saw it on some sitcom a few weeks ago. You know the person living in a house with this use of books has probably never read any of them. How the hell can you know what book is on the shelf if you can only see the pages. It makes my ocd kick in.
Of course it’s subjective, but I also think she is gorgeous. She also really understands how to wear makeup. So I bought some of her collabo line with Maybelline…and I have to say it’s just not all that. I wasn’t expecting Tom Ford quality, but I was hoping for the perfect nude lipstick–as Gigi seems to have that look down pat. Still searching!
MAC has some great nude lipsticks (IMO).
Ugh. This isn’t becoming a makeup blog is it? Cause that would be pathetic.
I highly doubt that Gigi actually applies her own make up for her photos.
There is actually a name for that speech pattern. I have to ask my husband because I can’t remember it.
It’s vocal fry. Not sure of the origin. But it’s horrible.
Was she doing a milk ad? I didn’t see the label on the bottle, but maybe that’s what was going on.
oddly, no. and that is why she didn’t show the label. Are there still milkmen in dis world? That is what me and Yolanda are wondering,
Well, after reading everyone’s comments, I just had to watch this thing. I have to agree, it is boring and stupid and pointless. At one point it did seem like it was trying to be a milk commercial. Random observation: Gigi has big feet like her mom Yolanda.
That’s funny! It’s really a film about “Big Foot”!
