Fatleaf grabs the prize.

Runaway starred Tom Selleck at the height of Magnum's popularity as well as Kirsty Alley (Star Trek Wrath Of Khan) and the aforementioned Joey Kramer. It did badly at the box office and went unnoticed due to the runaway (ha ha) success of the low budget Terminator by unknown director James Cameron and starring the relatively unknown Arnold Schwarzenegger, at that point only known for Conan.

Fatleaf! Question! We demand it!!

The former also starring Gene Symmons from KISS, and with the funky heat-seeking bullets and spider robots iirc.

Ask for tequila and salt?

Brilliant! That is correct!!! So much better answer than the one I was thinking off! :D


But not the answer to a sci fi question.

Troll version...

Otherwise is it Cave Johnson from Portal 2? http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cave-john ... ble-lemons
During the middle of Chapter 6, The Fall, an automated recording is played of the deceased Cave Johnson. It is told that he is the founder of Aperture Science, has spent years as CEO, and is coming up with new inventions and ideas for the future. Some of his ideas backfired, and one even cost him his life. He received a deadly disease which was caused by the contact of Moon Rocks. At first he is optimistic that his researchers will create a vaccine to save him. Unfortunately as time goes by, his optimism fades, and soon becomes enraged.
“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

Not sure if this is what you want, but is it Cemetary World by Clifford D Simak? I'm thinking of the character known as the 'Ancient and Revered'.
