They say that the best type of joke is one that has some truth to it.

However, there's nothing funny about Jerry Seinfeld's latest take in which he declares that ‘Hollywood is Dead,’ and that the filmmakers and the upper echelon, holier-than-thou elites in charge pathetically refuse to acknowledge it. 

"They’re so dead serious! They don’t have any idea that the movie business is over. They have no idea," the 69-year-old Seinfeld told GQ Magazine "Film doesn’t occupy the pinnacle in the social and 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," Seinfeld continued, before adding, "We quoted lines and scenes we liked. Now we’re walking through a fire hose of water, just trying to see."

The fabled comedian does have a point. I can't think of any significant pop culture trends that have come from movies in recent years - hell not even lame movie lines like Scary Movie's "Wassssupppp?!" that teenagers were doing all over America when I was growing up!
