Julia Louis-Dreyfus to Jerry Seinfeld's divisive remarks about modern comedy.
One of the most well-known comedians of her generation, Julia Louis-dreyfus is responding to Jerry Seinfeld's latest remarks on the direction of current comedy. Originally starting on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s, Louis-Dreyfus is also a revered comic remembered for his performance in Seinfeld among other roles. Playing Elaine Benes on Seinfeld, Louis-Dreyfus gained even more popularity throughout the show.
Speaking with The New York Times, Louis-Dreyfus answers recent remarks Seinfeld made about political correctness in Comedy. The actress contends that having "an antenna about sensitivities" does not "mean that all comedy goes out the window as result." When some people "complain about Political Correctness," she argues in contrast to Seinfeld's recent comment, it raises "red flags." In the end, Louis-Dreyfus thought "the bigger problem" was in "the consolidation of money and power" in society and art. See the complete Louis-Dreyfus quote below.
Jerry Seinfeld's remarks clarified (along with their reasons for being problematic).
The remarks of Louis-Dreyfus follow recent criticism by Seinfeld denouncing political correctness in Comedy. Citing a desire for Political Correctness as the demise of humor, he added that "the extreme left and PC crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people," is why there are less comedies showing on TV. Seinfeld claimed that most of the material he produced would not be appropriate for today and would thus prevent him from airing some of the most recognized outstanding episodes of the show.
Many responded to Seinfeld's remarks by pointing out counter-examples of shows like Louis-Dreyfus' Veep that make maybe inappropriate jokes. The New York Times interviewer noted to Louis-Dreyfus that Veep is a contemporary political satire piece. Louis-Dreyfus is adamant on the side of the fact that "political correctness" as a kind of "tolerance" ought to be generally embraced and praised. Although political themes abound in her performance, the actor is adamant that political correctness is not a negative social outcome.

"It's a Real Problem": Sydney Sweeney Horror Movie Director Considers One Viewer Complaint
The director of Sydney Sweeney's latest horror film, Immaculate, responds on social media to support one main viewer concern over the movie. Originally shown in theatres earlier this year, the horror film stars Sydney Sweeney as Cecilia, a young nun who joins an apparently beautiful Italian monastery only to find that something horrible is underfoot. Critics mainly gave perfect ratings for Immaculate; Sweeney's performance is singled out as a highlight.
Now, after Immaculate's digital distribution, Mohan answers a user on X, formerly Twitter, complaining about the way the movie is showing some VOD services. The user in issue describes the film as "comically dark" and notes he "can barely make out what's happening on screen." Look at Mohan's response down below:
The influence of political correctness
As Louis-Dreyfus deftly suggests, Seinfeld's remarks are narrow-minded and overlook the reality that part of being so-called politically correct is upsetting the power structures depended upon to silence some voices. For years, the male-dominated comedy industry has been let to produce overtly racist, sexist, or otherwise prejudiced jokes. More responsibility for such remarks today means that this discrimination is no more accepted in the manner it formerly was.
The move to a more progressive society clearly results in some opposition since many individuals believe that humor has gone too far in striving to be politically accurate. Comedy is a difficult topic overall, hence even if some performers are concerned by the developments, many others view them as a great step toward inclusivity.
