Jerry Seinfeld is not very optimistic about the future of the movie business, saying that the age of everyone going to movies has come to an end.
Speaking to GQ Magazine, Seinfeld had a more dire outlook on the world of movie making, saying that the “movie business is over” as it relates to how films are talked about nowadays.
“Film doesn’t occupy the pinnacle in the social, cultural hierarchy that it did for most of our lives. When a movie came out, if it was good, we all went to see it,” said Seinfeld. “We all discussed it. We quoted lines and scenes we liked. Now we’re walking through a fire hose of water, just trying to see.”
Seinfeld believes movie business has become “disoriented”
Seinfeld went on to point out that content has become a bit over-saturated, and that he believes “disorientation replaced the movie business,” pointing to the general confusion movie studios often feel when approaching a project.
According to the legendary comedian, though, he feels like he still has his place in the world.
“I’ve done enough stuff that I have my own thing, which is more valuable than it’s ever been,” Seinfeld said. “Stand-up is like you’re a cabinetmaker, and everybody needs a guy who’s good with wood.”
