	Dark Star is a GREAT movie, but in the book the scenes
between Sgt. Pinback and the "smart" bombs are more involved, and
MUCH better.  (As with most, the movie doesn't quit measure up to
the book.)
	
	And if I hadn't read THX-1138 before I saw the movie I would
NEVER have been able to follow it at ALL.  In fact, I watched it the
first time with a friend who had never heard of it, and I was busy
the whole time explaining what was going on.  (I've also heard that
it was G. Lucas's thesis project, or some such.)
