nihilistic bout everything, except love.

This is Zach Cregger’s approach to first drafts as a screenwriter. It’s called “elfing”. He’s right. ✍🏼

the concept of having a movie to watch everyday

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

This comparison actually proves the opposite of what you think it proves.

Sydney Sweeney released 5 movies in the last 12 months. Americana: $500K. Eden: $2.8M. Christy: $1.9M. Reality went straight to streaming. Four consecutive disasters before The Housemaid landed.

The Housemaid made $399M because a Freida McFadden bestseller with 4 million copies sold did the marketing for free. Put almost any recognizable actress in that role and it clears $200M. The book carried the box office.

Now look at The Drama. $28M budget. Returned it in 7 days. #2 A24 wide release opening ever. 80% of the audience under 35. Original script, no source material, no franchise safety net. Just Zendaya's name on a poster for a Kristoffer Borgli dark comedy.

Zendaya is running a completely different playbook. Spider-Man. Dune. Challengers. The Drama. She prints money in franchises, then spends that equity on original work with top-tier directors. She's building an Emmy and Oscar path. Every project is a deliberate choice from a position of strength.

Sweeney has the talent. The project selection has been uneven. The $399M number looks like a win until you realize four other bets lost money the same year. One hit out of five is a 20% batting average.

The Drama's $34M worldwide in week one on an original script is a flex most actors in Hollywood cannot pull off right now.

One of these careers is architected. The other is still figuring out the blueprint.

@locxlghost This is the part where designers smile and whisper, ‘at least not today.’

There’s always that one movie we’ve watched over and over. Just catching a glimpse of a scene or hearing a familiar line is enough to flood us with the entire story and the emotions that come with it.

That’s what it feels like when someone asks, "Do you still miss her?"

Love is mutual manipulation,
and the magic is both know it but still allow it.

Listening to non-mainstream songs is not a flex.
