Title: Hilarious spoof will appeal to stoners and straights alike
Product review: I first saw Dark Star when it was released and immediately loved it, even though it spoofs 'serious' films I also loved, particularly Kubrick/Clarke's 2001. It was with glee that I found this CD, at the bargain price of $10. Admittedly, the production is a bit rough, and the original film shows its student budget, but that is somehow fitting to the film. My only complaint is that they did not include the short "Hardware Wars" (a spoof of Star Wars, featuring an intergalactic steam iron and the heroic Fluke Starbucker, if I recollect correctly), which toured with Dark Star after HW's release in 1977; it made an inspired pairing. Oh well, I guess that 13 minutes of hilarity is available on its own DVD.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
