Question Who is DarkStar?

I've been using the 'DarkStar' nickname for years without coming across another one until I registered on this forum. Hence the '66' on the end.

I'm not complaining about it but just wondered if the other DarkStar had taken the name from the John Carpenter film as well?

Default WARNING:THERMOSTELLAR DEVICE

The DVD is virtually unwatchable. Needs some serious cleaning up and remastering.

I stand by my original assertion. The DVD version of the film "Dark Star" by John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon (which I have) is virtually unwatchable. I was just letting you know that someone else knows what you're on about.

This is a long forgotten classic and i think the writers of Red dwarf owe a huge debt to it.
Damn shame the DVD isnt up to scratch.
The orange beachball alien in the lift is hilarious

Sorry, the firewall at work won't let me open that link, I'll have to try it at home.

I haven't seen it for ages, I'd like to get it on DVD. So why is it almost unwatchable?

Well I got it from www.play.com because it was cheap. The picture quality is poorer than I remembered, and you have to **** around with the treble (lots of treble boost) or you can't hear any of the dialogue
It's desperately in need of a re-master.

Unfortunately, the members list is disabled so you can't look there.

If you use the search function and search by poster for 'Darkstar,' it doesn't come up with a match.

If you do a search for 'tel' you get this. Been a while since he's posted though.
