"In the far reaches of space, a small crew, 20 years into their solitary mission, find things beginning to go hilariously wrong."
@TheSpaceshipper Benson Arizona! My favorite Sci-Fi Country song.
@TheSpaceshipper Also, I have been to Benson, Arizona. Because of that song, and that movie. I'm not ashamed of that.
I think the default Slackware hostname is darkstar, is this playing homage to the movie?
@zleap @TheSpaceshipper Many references to it - Red Dwarf is right there, and Alistair Reynolds told me his frozen Captain in Revelation Space was "a tip of the hat".
The beach ball!
@TheSpaceshipper Wasn’t the very first scene something about an explosion destroying the ships entire supply of toilet paper?

I found that movie more boring than hilarious. Nothing happens, and even when something starts to happen it doesn't happen. I even wrote a filk about it, to the tune of CSN's "Dark Star". If you're interested in the lyrics, I can always drop a link.
@TheSpaceshipper Gawd, I love that movie.
@TheSpaceshipper My favourite sci fi movie, seen it so many times. Lo-fi Star Trek from a master film maker!
