I like how these folks want all the perks of a governed society but none of the responsibilities. Isn’t there a patch of desert or tundra or a vacant Island we could move them to so they could be free. 

Toyota is in an excellent spot.

“Film doesn’t occupy the pinnacle in the social, cultural hierarchy that it did for most of our lives.”

I don’t think the existence of two movies last year that had a big cultural impact really disproves Seinfeld’s point. In the past, it really did seem like there were a lot of movies in any given year that had real cultural resonance.

Yeah but the figures do back it up. Cinema ticket sales were slowly been trending down since 2001. But Covid finished them off. In 2019, 1.2bn tickets sold in US and Canada. In 2023, 850m. In 2001, it was 1.5bn. 

Snark is so 2005. Your audience has grown up, AVClub, maybe you should too.

Listen, I hate modern day Jerry as much as the next huge Seinfeld fan, but he’s kind of right. I no longer have a clue what’s in theaters. I barely watch new movies. The only people I know who do also watch a lot of CBS.

I feel like the things Seinfeld is saying in the interview are pretty perceptive. Schimkowitz even seems to largely agree with much of it. So why be so pissy about it all?

Nope, gotta save that money for their 4Chan Troll God.

That phrase has just given me an idea for a movie, ‘Hit Dog’. A Golden Retriever works as a professional assassin, using his adorableness to get close to his unsuspecting targets.

It’ll be the first movie presented entirely as a slideshow.

I’d prefer Eric Idle to personally, but I’ll take either of them. The Pythons have neatly divided themselves into ‘already dead’, ‘determined to destroy their legacy on the way out’, and ‘must be protected at all costs’.

I’ve never wished more that Graham Chapman was still alive. He absolutely would have been able to explain to these other guys the difference between “mindless good taste” as Cleese described at his funeral and just common decency.

Every right-wing blowhard says some variation of ‘If someone can say they’re a gender, then I’m x’ and think it’s the most mind-blowing, Voltairian, definitive takedown of modern gender ideas and the greatest piece of satire that the world has ever seen, when instead it merely demonstrates why there aren’t more…
