Movies:
Happy Scrappy Hero Pup. That's a movie reference about a movie reference said in a video store. Oh shit, wrap your head around THAT one.
20 bonus 'you're kinda cool' points if you know the movie.
30 if you don't because you are out doing something with your life and have no time for this ridiculousness.
I gave myself 50 because I can. There goes your Bell Curve.

Heroes:
Billy Dee Williams...any man that will only accept a part if he gets to wear a cape is a hero in my novella. No seriously, he would only play Lando if he could wear a cape. Followed a short 10 years later as cape wearing Secret Agent Zero. See it's the circle of life that keeps us breathing.
