Today is "Dark Star"
Written and produced by John Carpenter and Bill Taylor
A long range spaceship is sent out into the voids of outer space to blast away planets that may become locked into gravitational pull and cause supernovae, destroying any possible means to colonize later. The ship's crew are a novel group of nearly insane men who find all life has been consumed to the point of sitting around and remembering Earth life. That when these stories are related in the movie you actually feel very sorry for them. Anyway, the character Pinback gets stuck in an elevator shaft, presses the wrong button and is forced to listen to the soundtrack of 'Figaro' while trying to chase the escaped tomato/balloon/pin-cushion type creature that eats rubber mice. The ship's Thermalstellar Bomb develops an attitude problem, thinks it's God and proceeds to blow up the ship.
This has been my Movie Review. In Benson Arizona the same stars are in the sky unless they've been blown up.
