On the topic of the transforming and optimizing the future of trucking, just last night I watched a so-bad-it's-good movie called "Space Truckers", which was mentioned in the "Crapularity Hermeneutics" paper and that I had to see for myself:

"(This scenario has countless precursors in popular science fiction, including for example Stuart Gordon’s 1996 movie Space Truckers in which the protagonists transport square pigs that have been genetically modified to make more efficient use of limited spaceship cargo capacity.)"

And here's the trailer for Space Truckers [1], truly looks like a B-movie that isn't willing to admit it.

I was hilarious, but I don't think they were prepared to admit it was a comedy, either.


Absolutely true. I kinda assumed the comedy category was added after the fact, but I haven't seen it, so maybe marketing didn't agree on it being a comedy.
