I don't need to say much about this. Vincent Price is untouchable.

It's sad how little people know yet tout as knowledge... B Movies in today's internet culture has become a misnomer. B Movie does not mean so bad it's good, however, fanboys love to use it in this fashion. The history of B-Movie comes from the days when studios use to be able to own movies theaters and would have an A Movies and a B Movie. A Movie was the more expensive and prestigious movie while B Movie was the less prestigous and far lower in budget movie. When the US goverment declare that movie studios owning there own theaters was against the interests of the consumer, it was the end of real B-movies. However the term really means now a days, movies that are produced on severly lower budget, usually feature a slightly known name but not that well known. In terms people can understand here... Punisher (2004) would be a B-Movie while Spiderman would be an A movie it has nothing to do with quality, it has to do with budgets and such.

I agree with you Movies. We talked about this same exact thing in my film class and what you said is pretty much accurate on the true meaning of a B-Movie.

I know I'm agreeing with you... Hahaha The original person said that a B-Movie means a movie that is so bad that it's good, I think under certain parameters a B-Movie can include this, but that's not really what a B-Movie is. Like what I said is simply read the thread, the thing I was arguing was the opposite of what you're saying.

It's hilarious since this whole argument began simply because I stated a solid argument on why Price is the king and Campbell isn't. Which of course led to a debate on B-Movie, which in the end, the person arguing with me basically gave a very similar definition to the one I gave It simply again, people getting pissed simply because I'm just having fun coming off as the biggest dick ever since it's a frickin MESSAGE BOARD!
