Progress is difficult. It requires common agreement on what progress is, and the ability to envision it without fear of the unknown.

Nostalgia is an easy con. It’s a lie, but an effective emotional one. The lie of a past that never existed, and can never be regained, but the lie comforts. Some.

I think our current reality is cyberpunk. Techno-powered loneliness. A president that’s the villain from THE RUNNING MAN. Social media making us anti-social. Digital currencies. Technocracy controlling government. Invasive AI.

We’re here. Just no giant holos of Ana De Armas.

Not yet.

New Kendrick ritual.

1. Catch up on @fdsignifier.bsky.social so I know the landscape.

2. Feel like I’m failing at everything FD is right about.

3. Drink water.

4. Listen to Kendrick and go for a walk.

And change can simply just start with being better to the people in your life. If we all just did that, broad societal changes would take care of themselves.
What you’re not changing, you’re choosing. Let’s make some changes today.

And I'll add - if there's conversational room for it...

...ask them if they have a project they're stuck on, and see if you can take a look to figure it out. I've gotten gigs that way.
SCREENWRITER AXIOMS FOR GENERALS

This isn't a pitch it's a first date. Just connect.

Have an agenda. Research them, ask Qs re their projects.

Don't pitch ten ideas. Tease two to gauge interest.

You're thinking "what can this person do for me." Remember, they are thinking the exact same thing!
November 22, 2024 at 6:55 PM
Yup. Because we have far more content given to us from celebrities on social media than we can consume, we see them all the time in media, so it’s less compelling to go to see a movie simply from interest in the star.

Just go to IG. Watch a story. Done. We’re staying home.
that point right there is the conundrum of social media traffic - increased everyday interaction but little of it brings any real financial return, and it like you said once I see your IG photos I don't need to see you on my TV or movie screen as much

Jeff makes a great point here. You cast “stars” for two reasons, really.

1. You love what their specific talent can bring to your project.

2. Their celebrity is a backstop against your movie not drawing an audience. Bankability.

The problem is…
Red One has a chance to change feature biz. By sending everyone scurrying back to medium budgets and less bloated “star power.” All that has to happen is to convince studios they’ll hit their shareholder numbers more consistently with singles and doubles than home runs and strikeouts.

I would work on the BLADE film, were Marvel to ask, but I imagine I might be to “horror” for what they need.

My Blade screenplay would be pretty intense.
Just looked @ Marvel’s February solits.

Oooh, must add this current Blade red band story to my list 2.

♥️ what @bryanedwardhill.bsky.social does with Blade.

Why Marvel Studios hasn’t tapped Bryan to work on the Blade movie is beyond me.

Bryan’s world-building, characterization, & action are A+♥️

It’s kinda cool to start over with a social media platform. Maybe they all get stale after a certain amount of time.

I’m still dubious of the net positive of social media, but it’s woven into our culture.

I can’t share much of my film ARCHANGEL…yet…but here’s actor Conor Leslie (TITANS, MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE) doing a full cast (sfx by Dan Rebert) for the film.

I nerded out. Made me feel like John Carpenter, hahaha.

Guillermo is a wizard. He’s making the perfect Guillermo project with the pitch perfect cast to do it. It’s really inspiring how he cuts through it all and finds the amazing.
