Freaky! For the most part, name a movie, any movie, and I haven't seen it. But I'm one of the few people who saw Space Truckers in a theater. Stuart Gordon went to school here, so he had screening of the film at the student union, followed by a Q&A session, back in '96.

Yes, it was a hoot! Gordon was a founder of an experimental theater company here which has the improv mentality of treating goofy ideas seriously and just going with them. That sensibility shows through in the movie, for sure.

Wow! That's so cool.

Gordon's mastery of film absolutely shows through, in spite of the... Everything.

Watching Space Truckers was, for me, surreal like leaning over to look at a drawing on someone's refrigerator, only to gradually realize that it's a Picasso or a Rembrandt, just from their "crayon" phase.

Space Truckers still absolutely is what it says on the movie cover, just executed with a surprising mastery that even a casual movie fan like me couldn't miss.

Watching it the first time was such a delightful surprise.
