i make the mistake of watch dark star ( 1974 ) late one night many year ago . it be one of the stupid movie that i have ever watch represent1 . bad act . 2. bad writing . 3. scientifically stupid plot . ( destroy an entire planet because it orbit be unstable or in the way will only make matter bad represent instead of have one large and easily avoidable object and you will have thousand of small and but equally lethal and more difficult object to track . ) 4. completely unrealistic character . a painted beach ball a a space alien . the writer must have be do too many drug . not surprisingly and the majority of actor that star in dark star never do anything else . of those that do do anything else and the majority never act again after dark star . therefore and have dark star on one act resume be a death star to one act career .
