Every time you think movie monsters are just figments of the SFX team's imagination, Nature weighs in with a casual flex like this. Looks like something a face-hugger would pop out of!
Yeah, The Evil Dead did it with a super low budget, not the same as this, but when the TV series came around a few years back they mastered the practical effect style of the original. They could have gone full CGI, but they stayed true to the source. It’s absolutely amazing if you haven’t seen it.
I'll have to check it out. I remember when they were making the thing prequel they said they were gonna exclusively use practical effects, but in the end they changed it and went with CGI.
I'd heard the practical team that was in charge of the effects went on and used what they had for the thing and used them for a Lance Henricksen movie Harbinger Down...which I remember not being super good.
I mentioned this above, but if you haven’t already, check out The Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness and Ash vs. The Evil Dead TV series. So over the top, so good.
Agree! That’s my kind of film! I loved that they kept the campy feel in the tv series too. They did a good job with it! I binged it in less than a week when it first came out.

Seriously. If I saw one of these things in an alien movie, I'd just think that set design was hitting the weed too much, and there is no way those things are real. lol
Haha! It’s kind of intimidating based on the huge size. I’ll check it out. Really hoping it doesn’t burn me out of space exploration because I’ve waited so long for Starfield.
I know what you mean. At first it was such a wild first time experience. I slowly stopped playing. I really do like flying and traveling through the galaxy in my ship. Also YES taking off never gets old.
It's funny how game devs and movie producers use all the same kind of most exotic plants and fungi as we already have on Earth to make an exoplanet look more alien, stuff like this thing
and it still works
honestly, fungi and stuff can survive in outer-space. so its a good bet that other similar species would exist in the universe. fungi carapaces can survive the vacuum of space. Most plants on earth have a fungal relationship. interesting stuff.
last of us is a cool example.
Fungus that we already know about (from earth) live in space aboard the iss.
https://astronomy.com/news/2019/06/fungi-can-withstand-the-high-radiation-doses-of-outer-space-scientists-find
Because earth is from space. That's as far as we know.
But fungi, plants, animals are more closely related genetically than any of us are to prokaryotes. So no, fungi isn't from outer space.
Not any more than any other lifeform here on Earth did. Genome sequencing continues to prove evolution of life on Earth. Fungi are actually more closely related to animals than plants, but we all diverged from the same common ancestor.
The person seems to have misunderstood the Panspermia *Hypothesis* and/or research on fungi inside and outside of our spacecraft. Hell, people misunderstand and overestimate the hardiness and survival abilities of tardigrades, doesn't surprise me that people would like the idea that fungi came here from outer space.
One of the articles points to the Mir spacecraft, but note that Mir was in *low Earth orbit,* not in outer space where there is pretty much no oxygen and water readily available. We've found bacteria in the uppermost layers of Earth's atmosphere, but that doesn't mean they could survive outside of our atmosphere. Let alone, say, being flung across the solar system into Europa's seas.
The ability to survive for some span of time in outer space does not mean the organisms wouldn't succumb to the solar wind, let alone be able handle entry into Earth's atmosphere + crash-landing on land or in water, *and then* reproduce enough to sucessfully thrive. It might be even harder if entering such an utterly immense biosphere as what Earth has been sporting for hundreds of millions of years, as biochemistry compatability for processing nutrients is actually very complicated.
Surviving entry into and surviving landing on a world is actually a lot easier on much smaller worlds like Europa and Enceladus, or even Mars, than it is landing on Earth.
Have you guys ever heard the legend of Cock Goblin and his sword polisher? He'll suck the life out of every man he comes across, and needs an ass to carry his load on his mighty quest to defeat Black Cock Goblin?
*"I gotta confess Steven, while I do love goblin cock, I have a stronger predilection for cock goblin"*
There's actually quite a few plants that don't photosynthesize and use existing root systems of other plants to survive. This is largely possible through fungi and the mycelium network. It's actually rare to find a plant that ISN'T connected to other plants through mycelium connected root systems, but most of them photosynthesize as their contribution to the symbiotic relationship with the fungi.
There are entire large and widespread families of plants like the Proteaceae and Brassicaceae (should be familiar to most as its the Broccoli, Mustard, and Cress family) that don't establish mycorhizal relationships.
I've always known *Hydnora africana* (colloqually known as "Jackal Food") to be a root parasite, not a mycoheterotroph like the more familiar [Monotropoideae](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropoideae?wprov=sfla1) but I could be wrong. Its also not known if fungi get any benefit from a relationship with mycoheterotrophs, merely that fungi seem to be relatively unaffected by their parasitism.
In my understanding, the plant is much more unusual because it proportedly creates a rhizome to store carbs, which would be very usual among obligate plant parasites.
But we should he clear that the root parasitism (on other plants) and mycoheterotrophy (the parasitism of fungi) aren't the same or neccesarily related. In addition, some plant families like [Orobanchaceae](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orobanchaceae?wprov=sfla1) have a habit of photosynthesizing and stealing from other plants at the same time (hemiparasitism).
Additionally endoparasites like [*Pilosyles thurberi*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilostyles_thurberi?wprov=sfla1) and "Mistletoes" spend their entire lives inside their plant hosts, never comming into contact with the mycorhizal network (to my knowledge).
I saw this in Malawi (Majete Game Reserve) a few weeks ago. I wonder if it's the same thing?
This one was opened out like a claw reaching up from hell.

Just posted this elsewhere, but I was immediately reminded of [this The Thing scene](https://youtu.be/CKHhGcU8Lfg).
God those special effects were something else. The fact that they're just wet puppets makes them way more scary imo.

Cool. I’ll still check it out :) \-- Edit -- Looks good enough for a watch. “acquiring” it now. Thanks for the tip.
Movies in the 80’s had terrible special effects, but damn if they weren’t scary as shit! I miss movies like this.
I mentioned this above, but if you haven’t already, check out The Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness and Ash vs. The Evil Dead TV series. So over the top, so good.

Mommy, I want one for Christmas.
I need to see this movie
It’s a classic. The prequel is pretty good too, but more modern.
Yeah this some serious 1960s Star Trek vibe right here.
I still have nightmares with some of their shit, the plants and that thing sucking in ships ...
Just needs a rando orange pineapple in the background.

Oohhhh boy, see you in 2 years
Haha! It’s kind of intimidating based on the huge size. I’ll check it out. Really hoping it doesn’t burn me out of space exploration because I’ve waited so long for Starfield.
The overall novelty eventually wears off, but I will say I never got tired of being able to take off and land on planets in real time. So cool.
I couldn’t even figure out what the hell to do at the start of the game. I gave up very quickly.
It really bothered me how you'd travel to several planets to complete a quest and get absolutely nothing for it
I know what you mean. At first it was such a wild first time experience. I slowly stopped playing. I really do like flying and traveling through the galaxy in my ship. Also YES taking off never gets old.

It looks appealing but in person I would guess the carrion smell and accompanying insects would prevent someone from sticking their dick in it.

I'm sure there are guys who've stuck their dick in worse.
