No. of Paragraph 19

Comedian and television star Jerry Seinfeld spoke with GQ in anticipation of the release of his upcoming Netflix movie “Unfrosted,” a look at the invention of Pop-Tarts. (Hey, don’t laugh, “Air” and “Blackberry” both received rave reviews, and even “Flamin’ Hot” ended up with an Oscar nomination; this is the trend right now.) The 69-year-old Emmy-winner and Grammy-nominee is the director, co-writer, and co-producer as well as star of the project and, surprisingly, this is the first feature film with him in the driver’s seat as the creative force, unless you count “Bee Movie.” (He’s kept it mainly to documentaries and cameos, like in his buddy Chris Rock’s “Top Five.”)

“They’re so dead serious!” he said about people working in film production. Then he added a little zing: “They don’t have any idea that the movie business is over. They have no idea.”

The man behind “Seinfeld” and “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” and perennial touring comic elaborated, “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. 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.”

When pressed about what has replaced cinema in the cultural conversation, he quipped, “Depression? Malaise? I would say confusion. Disorientation replaced the movie business. Everyone I know in show business, every day, is going, ‘What’s going on? How do you do this? What are we supposed to do now?’”
