Dark Star (1974)

On Sofus's (perhaps phoney) recommendation. An early outing for John Carpenter whose output is mostly unknown to me. There are some genuinely funny bits but mostly it's slow and simply provides raw material for the sci fi that came later, specifically Alien and Red Dwarf. The somewhat sapient bomb is pretty amusing.
