Dark Star

I just finished watching the 1974 movie Dark Star (The Director's Cut). This was, according to IMDB, John Carpenter's second film. Let's just say that he got better.

The reviews I read on Netflix and IMDB led me to believe this might be an comedy gem.

Bzzt! Wrong, but thanks for playing. There were basically three "bits" in it that were stretched into a mercifully short 83 minute movie (the "director's cut" was even shorter). If I hadn't pulled out the laptop and done some catchup research while it was running I would have turned it off about the time the opening credits started.

Not recommended.
