I know this is completely off topic and surely shows my age,
but I wonder if anyone else on this ng has seen this movie.

I couldn't remember the name of this movie but googling for
movie star "bomb bay" "I think"
found it for me first pop.

Dark Star (1974) - Memorable quotes
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069945/quotes

The reason for mentioning this is because the next time I ask
a question about D on this ng that comes back with a something
for me to consider further, I'll be answering along the lines
"returning to bomb bay to think about this"
and hopefully people will understand what I mean :-)

Cheers
Justin Johansson

Justin,

Just remember that if you teach bombs phenomenology bad things tend to happen.

Never heard of it, but it sounds like something I'll have to check out :)

Yes, you do. It's a classic.

Extremely serious low budget though -- everyone needs to remember that when watching (1974, so pre Star Wars, and a very, very low budget). Great work by John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon.

Dark Star and the Star Wars prequels prove that big budgets aren't what make a movie, a plot and good writing is.

If you ignore the Harrison Ford factor, SW is nothing but a soap opera to me...
Then you watch Bladerunner, Alien... now they are truly awesome!
