I can totally imagine Simmons arguing philosophy with a bomb

It's been almost twenty years since I last saw John Carpenter's Dark Star, and then I only caught the last third or so, at a con. I recently got to see it again and was struck by how much it sounded/felt like a certain more recent production.

Do you suppose the guys at Rooster Teeth have ever seen this movie, or is this just coincidence?

I am cornfused, what recent production?

And on another topic... I'd love to see Red Vs Blue sometime...

That's not actually on another topic at all.

Bah, I should have been more clear.
But yeah, I was talking about Red vs. Blue.
Nor was I trying to imply any plagiarism, conscious or otherwise.

The extent of my knowledge of Red vs. Blue is:
it involves Halo, and it's funny.

Lucky you, I have recently purchased the first two seasons on DVD. Perhaps
we should schedule a movie night sometime?

If you only saw the last 1/3 of Dark Star, you were doing it right. It's one of my dad's favorite movies, so I think I've seen it waaaay too many times. The ending is the best part though.

man, that movie is 30 years old! Where did the time go?
