It gets quite a lot of playtime whilst I am out exploring
Let’s have some music in here, Boiler...[video=youtube;eTa2vXL7FI8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTa2vXL7FI8[/video]
I loved Dark Star.
Written by John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon (O'Bannon starred in it too, as Commander Pinback). Wasn't it originally just a student film project?
Dark Star was the inspiration that led to Alien (1979), its screenplay written by O'Bannon.

It occurs to me, that's three films I love that were made on a shoestring budget.
Dark Star ($60,000), Evil Dead (the first one, $90,000) and Clerks ( < $28,000)

Had to switch back to my original avatar for this thread, sorry Old Duck!
I think Dark Star would have been more enjoyable if they had cut that sub plot with the Alien beach Ball..
As far as strange NPC names.. back in the olden days shortly after launch, when there was a "Twilight Zone" of bloodthirsty NPCs surrounding the edge of the bubble, I once ran into the "WizardOfTheNthContiniuum".. he was happily supercruising through a system in the Coalsack at minimal supercruise velocity... It was such a strange event that I followed him for minutes to see if he was going to do something special.. but he was really going nowhere at that speed.. so I abandoned him.
Never seen him again.

I've come across Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz a couple of times.

No.

:O You,..............you cannot be serious!?! That "beach ball" as you call it was the most awesome depiction of an alien ever seen in a movie! [squeeeee]
I never looked at beach balls in quite the same way, after that
For me, I can see Dan O'Bannon's excellent mark all over the screenplay, which he brought to full effect in Alien later on. So he moved from cute beach-ball aliens to horrific H.R. Giger creations

The elevator scene is just awesome.
The elevator scene scared me to death
I had to dig through the comments, but found it...
