Does Seinfeld Just Hate Money Or Something? Where's The Fuckin' Movie?
C'mon. Are they telling us that Seinfeld and Larry David and other gifted writers can't come up with a good script for "Seinfeld, The Movie?"

Are they crazy? What are they waiting for?

Elaine still looks good. None of the cast is dead, yet.

What are they waiting for?

I know they're still making millions off of the reruns. But do the principals have some aversion to putting another $20 - $50 million in their bank accounts? If that movie were to be half way decent, it could potentially bring in $600 million, internationally.

WHERE IS "SEINFELD, THE MOVIE?"

?????????????????????????

2. I hate to say it
I love Seinfeld (the show) but i think i'm more a fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

4. he doesn't hate money, but he just doesn't need anymore of it
I think he's worth nearly a billion dollars. That's enough for comedian.

5. True
Better to end a show on a high note, than have years of sucking.

10. Let's respect his brilliance, and especially his integrity,
by not doing a movie.

he knows a movie wouldn't be as good as an episode - it couldn't, not wihtout compromising everything the show stood for.

I applaud him for not going for the easy bullshit dollar, but standing up for the integrity of art, and not doing a movie.

yeah it was a good show - a great show - a genius show - and as much as I would love to see more, there are times when an artist has be let go and be allowed to stop, and one has to trust the artist on that. just like Breathed and the "Calving and Hobbes" guy, I'd rather that something ended while still good, then that it attempted to "cash in" on its branding. The latter is simply nothing more than utterly disgusting.
