Seinfeld: Hollywood is OVER.

Jerry Seinfeld Calls The Movie Business “Over” As Hollywood Replaces Enjoyment With ‘Disorientation’
The legendary Jerry Seinfeld is embarking on a new chapter in Hollywood as a movie director. His highly-anticipated feature film debut “Unfrosted,” backed by Netflix, brings the comedy icon to the director’s chair for the first time.
In a new interview with GQ magazine, Jerry Seinfeld reflected on making the jump to Hollywood filmmaking and working with the “dead serious” movie business. “They have no idea that the movie business is over. Film doesn’t occupy the pinnacle in the cultural hierarchy that it did for most of our lives,” he said.
While movies may not have the same cultural status they once held, according to Seinfeld, the stand-up comedy craft remains valuable. “Stand-up is like you’re a cabinetmaker, and everybody needs a guy who’s good with wood,” he explained. “If you have good craft and craftsmanship, you’re kind of impervious to the whims of the industry.”

It' s not like there will be zero movies being made, but he's stating the obvious. Movies aren't the lead dog in our culture anymore.

You and Jerry disagree then.

If there’s one man who knows about making successful movies in Hollywood, it’s definitely Jerry Seinfeld

reading comprehension man. He is reflecting on his experience during the filmmaking. he didn't set out to prove anything.

So his hour+ long Pop-Tart/Kellogg ad guised as a movie is case in point or a giant troll job?

Check Mate, then Chunnel. Guy has a couple decades worth of ideas.

I actually liked the show and some of his old standup was pretty solid, but the dude hasn’t been relevant in a long time and instead of just accepting it he’s pulling a Principal Skinner and blaming the young people.

I don't think he's attacking Hollywood so much as he is deflecting from the obvious criticism towards a 69 year old stand-up comedian directing his first ever movie about Pop Tarts.
He's saying, "look, we aren't living in the good ol' days of Billy Wilder or Stephen Spielberg anymore...who cares if I make a movie." The bloom is off the rose.

Also Seinfeld totally fine taking the cash from Netflix to be able to add to his Porsche collection but he’s not wrong. TV series are where it’s at for captivating an audience, we love a deeper story and you can only do so much within 2.5 hours for a film.
More people talked about TV Series than any other movie over the past decade or even two. Serials are where it is at now for the future of film. Although multi-part films are a telltale sign of this since the MCU, Harry Potter, LotR have been impactful culturally.
