In the beginning a GM had an idea, then the players arrived:

Laugh, you know you want to.
Oh BTW, if this is in the wrong area I'm sorry.

Pariah got a reaction from Ockham's Spoon in Jokes
A joke, in three versions ...
The Classic:
There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
The Surprise:
There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who didn't expect this joke to be in base 3.
The Truth:
There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary, and 9 others, all of whom are tired of this joke.

Therapist: So let me make sure I understand. You're in here because of an argument over Star Wars?
Her: Yes. My husband had this brilliant idea that we should name all of our children after Star Wars characters.
Him: Well, our son Luke thought it was a fantastic idea.
Her: But our daughter Chewbacca, not so much.
Him: Yeah, I'll admit that was a Wookie mistake.
Her: And that's why I'm leaving him.
Therapist: Sorry, man, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Divorce is strong with this one.

Pariah got a reaction from L. Marcus in Random Television Quotes
"Oh, Amy! What a dewy-eyed moon-calf you are. Raiders of the Lost Ark is the lovechild of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, two of the most gifted filmmakers of our generation. I've watched it thirty-six times, except for the snake scene and the face-melting scene which I can only watch when it's still light out, but I defy you to find a story problem. Here's my jaw. Drop it."
"All right. Indiana Jones plays no role in the outcome of the story. If he weren't in the film, it would turn out exactly the same."
"Oh, I see your confusion. You don't understand; Indiana Jones was the one in the hat with the whip."
"No, I do. And if he weren't in the movie the Nazis would have still found the ark, taken it to the island, opened it up, and all died. Just like they did.
[ jaw drops ]
"Let me close that for you."

At least the Terminator isn't shy about its intention to destroy the human race.

Jim Henson may not have invented all of the Muppets, but he sure had a hand in all of them.

I was air drumming to Metallica in the car this morning.
But I dropped one of the sticks out the window, so I had to switch to Def Leppard.

Pariah reacted to Michael Hopcroft in RIP "King B", Roger Corman
The excellent run of independent film pioneer Roger Corman, producer and director of countless movies that were seemingly produced to be "cheap schlock" but often turned out to be so much more, has come to an end after 98 years. Very few "hacks" have had so much impact on the history of film, not only by their own work but by the innumerable people he employed, mentored, and inspired.
Jack Nicholson? Corman put him in movies because his father had a stake in his company, then found the light switch and helped him become a real actor, finally giving him his breakthrough role in the counterculture road trip Easy Rider.
Vincent Price? Corman took the aging Price and made him a global icon as the lead in numerous films inspired by the stories and poems of Edgar Allen Poe, from the heights of madness (The fall of the House of Usher) to one of the truly sublime fantasy comedies (The Raven) to a tragedy of hubris and hedonism that resonates today more than ever (The Masque of the Red Death).
As a producer, he mentored many directors who would go on to do great things. Coppola, Howard, Cameron, Scorsese -- all worked for Corman early in their careers. He was a great judge of talent and found it in the most unlikely of places. He had a genius for bringing things to the theater on time and under budget, and often making them entertaining and even thought-provoking. (Can you imagine a huge controversy brewing over a Direct-to-DVD release with a fading TV star in the lead? Well, a film like that went straight to the drive-ins in 1976, and Corman produced it -- the dark comedy masterpiece Death Race 2000).
As he ended his masterpiece comedy -- "Quoth the raven nevermore".
