There are only two good movies, Alien (the movie), and Aliens (the movie).

This is only technically true because Jurassic Park is the greatest movie ever made, not merely 'good'.

they're super cool, I set a trap in my attic to catch a squirrel that was up there and it caught this guy instead, probably got in the same way the squirrel did. Just super chill, casually, methodically checking for any way to escape. And the moment I opened the trap outside he crossed my entire yard to the forest edge within about 4 seconds

I think Frank Zappa once made an observation that in the music industry, execs used to be some old rich dudes who had no idea what people wanted to hear, knew their limits, and just signed the craziest out there musicians in hopes one of them will succeed. A lot of modern music industry higher-ups, on the other hand, think they are hip and with it, and on the mission to shape public taste, so they let their own taste dictate whom to to sign. He said it ages ago, but it's definitely still true for movies. There are more good movies in general made now than 30 or 40 years ago, mind, but it's harder to make a big studio movie that's really out there. Well, it's harder to make any film now due to strikes, but you know what I mean.

I think part of it is that those kinds of executives are much more exposed to public scrutiny now than they were back then. Their names are over the gates of the studios but otherwise who cares, now every dumbass execs needs to leave their individual mark and competes with all the other dumbass execs, lestsome clickbaitarticle calls them uncool.

The B doesn't "stand" for anything. Just like vinyl albums have A sides and B sides, a B movie is the B side of an A movie.

It stands for either Bottom or "B" as in the second in a series and denotes the second film in a double feature, which was shorter than the A film and often low budget, expected to be unsuccessful, or a recut of an older film and as a result was generally considered a "bonus" while being critically ignored (people who purchased double feature tickets rarely stayed through the entire second film). It doesn't stand for "Bad" or anything along those lines and many B movies were successful, some even receiving sequels and in rare cases receiving either an extended re-release as an A film or an A film as a sequel.

All the B studios converted to television in the 1950s and as such B movies by that definition are either dead or entertainment television shows, that's between you and your God(s). Double features and double bills (a different thing with two A films) are also dead save for gimmicks (Barbenheimer). lovely movies are nothing new, and A films could also be poo poo that's not really the same, either.

You could have prevented this by simply not being wrong on the Internet.

Anyway, I'll have a number one with an unsweet tea, and to save everyone time:

My favorite part is when the head vampire wakes up and escapes, there is an homage to a famous Nosferatu scene. But instead of a shadow creeping in from off camera, raised claws first, Its two pointy boobies in shadow, advancing on a security guard.

Ok, once you got to "said" and my brain was like wait, who said, I went back and mentally inserted a comma after "finished" so it works better. Initially sounded like you weren't clicking with a guy and you left because the Transformers movie had made him cum.

i am confused! girls have long flowing eyelashes! and usually lots of sparkly jewelry.

fun fact: in the old Disney movie Treasure Planet, I read in the behind the scenes/artists notes, there was some poo poo cut out where the cat alien and dog alien, ship captain and doctor, are the same species; the females are all cats, males all dogs, and i think the sex ratio was super skewed, like 4:1. so all the crazy flips and poo poo the cat alien does, it's to impress him because they're also a seahorse species where males carry the young.

Star Trek probably did that way before. Still kinda cool.
