My New Name and Recent Veiwings

[No Nukes]

'Ello monkey people. I'm the character you may have known as Mighty Atomic Pikachu on the Message Board in the past. Well, I've decided to change my identity to the one I have in the iMDB-No Nukes.

(a picture of my character should be up soon.)

Well, here's a quick list of some of the things I've seen while I've been away from the mesage board:

ZOO A Zed And Two Noughts (a film that tries entirely too hard to be like David Lynch)

Juliet Of The Spirits (it was all right)

It Lives Again (pretty stupid)

Shivers (somehat dissapointing but had its funny moments; follows same plot as most early Cronenberg movies)

The Creeps (brainless but still amusing comedy about midget monsters)

Nightbreed (yack, that was awful)

Superman Special Edition (what can I say? You just can't beat the classics)

Drowning By Numbers (truly disgusting, and I nearly went bananas trying to find all of those hidden numbers)

8 1/2 (Don't watch it, I'm begging you...argh)

Signing off for now...

No Nukes

Welcome back, Pika...I mean No Nukes.

[Flangepart]

Well, it does take less time to type. Any political commentary involved, there, Nukes?

[No Nukes]

Not really...I got the idea for the name from one of the members of Sega's "Team Shinobi" who designed Shinobi, Altered Beast, and Golden Axe. In the Genesis version of Altered Beast, a nickname mentioned in the credits is "No Nukes". The name kinda stuck in my mind, and well...

Well, at least you're keeping things on a sub-microscopic level.

First atoms, now nuclei.  Hey, if you're next name had something to do with quarks I bet people would find it strangely charming.

(Get it?  Strangeness?  Charm?  Okay.  I guess this is why comedians don't tell scientist jokes.)

As for the movies, I've always liked SHIVERS and NIGHTBREED, which both involve Cronenberg, albeit in different roles.  I still prefer VIDEODROME, which I could go on and on about.

Speaking of NIGHTBREED, whatever happened to Clive Barker?  Last I saw of him he was withdrawing into increasingly long novels.

THE CREEPS I liked a lot.  Nothing cheers me up more than seeing a midget, and there's no midget finer than Phil Fondacaro.  But in my mind, he'll always be known as Vohnkar.  (Technically speaking, is he a midget or a dwarf?)

"Technically speaking, is he a midget or a dwarf?"

I'm not sure if there is a specific definition of a midget, or whether it is a blanket term for 'little people' (I still can't see why anyone thought that PC term was more dignified). Anyway, a dwarf, if I remember correctly, has a full-sized head and torso, with short arms and legs.
