A quotation from Samuel Johnson

He that applauds him who does not deserve praise, is endeavoring to deceive the public; he that hisses in malice or sport, is an oppressor and a robber.

Essay (1758-10-07), The Idler, No. 25

The TDG Naysayers

It's impossible to build a new democracy, is it not?

Just like it was impossible in 1776.

The TDG is easily ignored because most people believe the current democracy is repairable:

SCENE: INTERIOR, HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION OFFICE, RUN-DOWN. MONDAY MORNING.

Executive Assistant: Hey, Brett?

Director: Morning, Jennifer. What have you got for me?

EA: Well, we have the opening weekend numbers.

D: And?

EA: They're ... mixed. There's some bright spots overseas. Australia did fifty.

D: Fifty million?

EA: Uh, no. Fifty. Fifty tickets.

D: All weekend? The whole country?

EA: Ya. I know.

D: You said there were some bright spots, though?

EA: That was a bright spot. It was worse elsewhere.

D: How can it be worse than 50 tickets for a whole country?

EA: Well, some open-source intelligence type people on the 'net proved that almost every single ticket sold in the UK was to a movie reviewer, because we wouldn't give them advanced access to it.

D: "Almost"? So at least a few regular folks bought tickets?

EA: ... maybe. Those were tickets where no-one showed at the theatre, so they couldn't determine if it was film critics or not.

D: Damn. How were the reviews?

EA: Uh, let's just say "not good" and leave it at that for a bit.

D: ... Okay. Well, how about here at home? Surely we sold some tickets here, at least in MAGA states? What's the news here in the good ol' USA?

EA: The Director's Guild took out a hit on you.

Resolution
Quit claiming you haven’t seen a masterpiece since 2011.In 2026, you’re going to discover three films that will make you cry and publicly admit that cinema isn't dead. Spoiler alert: one of them will be Palestinian.

For the first one: sign me up right now!

For the second: I already sat through a 4-hour experimental film at Locarno this summer – I'm curious about the next one ;)

For the third: I’d love nothing more than to be pleasantly surprised!

Based on my 2025 Twitter activity, an AI put together a profile of me from my posts and ended with this prediction:

Money
In 2026, you’re finally going to monetize your passion: a festival is going to pay you 8,500 CHF to be a programmer. Your reviews will become so influential that three distributors will offer you exclusive previews.

Love Life
You’re going to fall in love with a director you meet at the Berlinale in February. Your first date will be a four-and-a-half-hour screening of an experimental Georgian film. It’s weird, but it’ll work.
