In Reply to: RE: Huh? First you say it's "great," then that it's a popcorn thriller and "B-movie." posted by tinear on May 21, 2007 at 04:42:31
I meant that it had a "B-movie" feel to it. The narration, the dialogue, the noir style. I didn't mean it in a bad way, it certainly doesn't qualify as a "B" grade quality movie.
It IS a great film, and I apologize if I was misunderstood.
a bit over-excited about certain directors and Kubrick is one.
We both agree this early film is brilliant!
Studios had A and B films. A films were the high-profile, big budget projects. B films were on a smaller budget, with (sometimes) lesser/younger directors/writers/actors.
So, calling it a "B movie" is not necessarily a pejorative. Many of the well-regarded noirs were produced out of a studio's B budget (e.g. Asphalt Jungle).
I don't know if The Killing was an actual B movie, though. Was it?
