Ah. As a comedy I judge it much less harshly :). --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313

And a great one-I saw it first-run or thereabouts and have VERY fond memories of it. Opening scene, which first Star Wars movie kind of borrowed, has the ship moving majestically across the screen. Then it just.stops. Dark Star I'm sure was meant to be funny; I remember a rumor that Ice Pirates was supposed to be a serious science fiction movie, and that partway through filming, someone looked at the rushes and said "This had better be a comedy", so they made it into one. --- Bob Bridges wrote: >Wow, that looks REALLY bad!
