Floating through inner space ✨️

This species of jellyfish, Poralia rufescens, is one most people will never see. It lives deep below the sea surface to thousands of meters and is usually seen floating near the seafloor, sometimes we see hundreds of them on an ROV dive!⁠ ⁠ There are lots of gelatinous animals in the ocean, but when you hear the word jellyfish you probably think of something like this. The so-called "true" jellyfish, a class called the Scyphozoans, are the ones you usually see near the ocean surface. Taxonomically, jellies are far more varied than the handful of examples that are used to represent jellyfish.

My nerdy tribute to the GOAT Martin Short for his 75th birthday :) I’m so honoured to share my birthday with him! :D

Innerspace (1987). A test pilot is miniaturized in a secret experiment, and accidentally injected into a hapless store clerk.

The cartoonish premise and pacing really wouldn't work without an actor like Martin Short in the lead role, and the decision to cast him is probably one of the better ones in 80s sci-fi. This really is a bonkers movie, but it gets away with it more often than not - it's genuinely funny, and the design feels pretty innovative and high quality for the era. Also I might have an extra sweetspot for it given it spawned one of my favourite episodes of Futurama haha. Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan's storyline didn't do much for me at all though. 7/10.

LT. TUCK PENDLETON, LYDIA MAXWELL, and JACK PUTTER from INNERSPACE

Justification:

"so the plot of this movie is like basically through science shenanigans Tuck flys a machine that gets shrunk down and injected into Jack so they basically share a body like he can hear out of his ears see out his eyes all that jazz and the beginning of the film Lydia dumps Tuck, Jack has the hots for Lydia, they conspire to keep her away from the plot but Jack gets close to Lydia but Tuck still has feelings for her etc love triangle bullshit. however these bitches are sharing a body so it's like the romance is extra personal. then in the climax Jack and Lydia kiss, Tuck ends up in Lydia's body, discovers she's pregnant, then she kisses Jack again because he wants Tuck back in his body and yeah. the ending is great Tuck and Lydia get married Jack is their best man then when they go on their honeymoon he literally drives after them in conclusion theyre a throuple" - Anonymous

Basking in the breathtaking beauty of our inner space 🌟⁠

This crimson jellyfish, Paraphyllina sp., uses the color red to camouflage itself in the deep sea. Because wavelengths of light in the red end of the spectrum are preferentially absorbed by seawater, red animals disappear into the darkness of the deep ocean. This enables them to ambush unsuspecting prey or avoid a hungry predator. The red pigment may also help to mask any bioluminescent prey that it has eaten.⁠⠀⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ Jellies in the class Scyphozoa include most of the species that people think of when hearing the word “jellyfish.” These "true jellies" are commonly studied at the sea surface, but those living deep in the water column are less well known. We are still just learning what species thrive in the dark depths of our ocean and how they live and reproduce. Exploration with ROVs allows us to see these enigmatic animals in their habitat and gives us a better understanding of their ecology.

I recently went to Bristol to the Forbidden Worlds Film Festival to see a whole host of 70s, 80s, and 90s cult classics - like Speed, Stargate, Nikita, Outland, Timecop, Foxy Brown, and many more - on an IMAX-sized screen! Let's talk about all that and more!
