One of my all time favourites...it's been a while since I've watched it, but wasn't Dark Star's mission to destroy planets that are calculated to drop out of orbit (or something like that) and make a mess in its host system?

No...pretty sure they were destroying planets that might have "intelligent life" on them...so they didn't try to destroy our planet.  Great movie...precursor to Alien, which was written by Dan O'Bannon who plays Sgt. Pinback...who is the namesake of one of the best bands ever, Pinback.

Shame Dan O'Bannon is gone now, his one famous acting performance is brilliant, his star beast story was awesome and his directing of that zombie film I forget the name of was awesome too. Dark Star is a student film but better than most big budget movies. I think the boiler character actor is gone too.
