Who's O'bannon?

[MondAgave]

Dan O' Bannon is Pinback, the guy with the beard. :) ... O' Bannon is the one who feeds the alien and then fights with him. Look at 0:16, 0:23, 1:47, 1:56 and 2:07.

"[Dark Star] O'Bannon was along, serving in a number of capacities, including scripting, editing and acting as one of the leading roles (Pinback)"

"Together with Ronald Shusett, he wrote the original story for Alien (1979) [...]"

Look at the Internet to learn more about him (Wikipedia, ...)

[MondAgave]

Hello People,

I am pleased to have made you a joyous.

Never could understand why they didn't just leave the uninhabitable or dangerous planets alone. Just friggin' leave em and move on to colonizing the good ones bitches!

[MondAgave]

Who is roosterteeth?

[Ollie Barbor]

If you actually listen they're destroying planets to clear a path

[LuisVasDeCamoes]

i got a question... why the @%#% whould anyone leave his home to search for an unstable planet to destroy it?... and what is an unstable planet?

[dewfall56]

You got me there, I might crumble a few... But just to make the precious elements deep within more accessible of course :)

This was before the idea of terraforming worlds became more feasible to conceptualize. But honestly, if you could blow up worlds in the name of mankind, wouldn't you?

[NuntiusLegis]

The trailer doesn't do the film justice. It makes it look like a standard SF movie, carefully avoiding all the brilliant humor throughout the film.

[Telstar62a]

Not hard to see why people didn't get the idea that it's a comedy.

I love how it's almost the opposite of most space films; instead of gung-ho NASA types, they've got a crew of slacker/grad student types doing a monotonous job, eating the same thing every day, getting on each other's nerves and squabbling because they've been at it 20 years with no end in sight. You know, like real life....

I'd rather spend my days in Benson, Arizona, than venture into outer space.

"Let there be light"......BOOM!!!!

[Pazzensutra1]

It's basically about some guys who've been in space for 20 years, bored out of their minds, and their job is to find the planets that are uninhabitable, and blow them up. Something goes wrong...... A dated but funny movie. Kind of a lonely movie too.
