Author	Topic: Just for fun: One of those stories where everyone writes one sentence each

Richard Oscar® Winner	I was walking down the road one day enjoying the sounds of CMS master Eric Serra on my discman, when Danny Elfman jumped out of the bushes, set me on fire and stole my onions...

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	But where would I find Carter Burwell?

Richard Oscar® Winner	Sadly, Burwell's where abouts elluded me as I was fixated on the pain engulfing my body. I was on fire and it hurt like hell. (Ahahahahahahahaha, fire......hell.......get it?) Perhaps I would find Mr Burwell at the pub...

AaronR1074 Oscar® Winner	Suddenly there he was, donning one of those silver fire-proof outfits while brandishing a large firehose that stretched all the way down the street to the heidrent(sp?)where a dog decided to do his thing (I think Hans Zimmer was behind him jotting notes for his score to Backdraft 2).

Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	After explaining that I was not the human torch, but an average joe in a rather untypical situation, I said, "Mr. Burwell, only you can stop Elfman's con fuoco! But first, a little water right here might be of service...."

Al Oscar® Winner	And at that point, Danny Glover ran into the middle of the street wearing only his boxers and flapping his arms like a chicken.

Daniel J Oscar® Winner	I would love to put you out of your misery by spraying you with this hose, but first you have to tell me which score you like better, Gods and Monsters or Being John Malkovich. Sorry, Al and I were to close in submitting. [Message edited by Daniel J on 11-17-2000]

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	"Neither one!" said he, at which point he hopped into a taxi cab and was whisked away. I sat there wondering why I have always been so in love with movie music. Suddenly, the clouds in the sky parted, and a giant hand reached down to me, and took my hand! Instantly, I was pulled into the heavens! I saw Alfred Newman, Bernard Herrmann, Alex North and Dimitri Tiomkin sitting together at a table, drinking...well, I'm not certain exactly WHAT they were drinking! At first I thought that it was coffee, but as I came closer, the aroma of it seemed more like...

JJH Oscar® Winner	...seemed more like hot tar on a roof. Anyhoo, heaven was great, and the number one hit on the Heaven Top 40 was Morricone's What Dreams May Come,but some heavenly critics pan the score because it written was for a not-quite-theologically-correct film, while others correctly point out that God said on the 800 trillionth day: "Let there be Ennio Morricone, and let everything he commits to paper be just and praiseworthy" meanwhile...

Al Oscar® Winner	...Ennio Morricone heartily drank his morning cup of hot tar from the roof, and, as a result, found himself walking aimlessly among the streets until wandering into a Mediaventures fan convention in which he turned to one of the fans and asked...

Observer Oscar® Winner	...why Carter Burwell had left the flaming person to burn on the street. "It was on the news." Ennio added. Burwell, among the crowd for the free Ennio! Brand Burritos, overheard the question. Burwell's conscience finally managed to convince him to go back to where I lay. "I made a horrible mistake! I must fix this wrong!" He vowed to himself. He ran back to the scene and upon seeing the charred, lifeless hunk of flesh, he gasped and knelt beside my corpse. "What have I done? By the very CD Fargo/Barton Fink was pressed on, I shall avenge your death!" He yelled as he shook his fist at the sky. "I promise you,...er..." Burwell scratched his head. "Hey," He said to the bystanders, "Anyone know this guy's name?" They just shrugged. "Uh...I'll...avenge you...Char-Boy! Curse you Danny Elfman!!!" Back at the convention....

"I've never liked you, Danny," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "We all know I should have gotten to score Batman! And I would have done far better than you!" Burwell's voice was cracking now, becoming more and more high pitched. "I shall have my revenge!" he screamed. Elfman regarded him quizzically. "But what for, Burwell? The fact is, I scored Batman, not you, and there's nothing you can do about it!" Burwell frowned as if caught off guard. "But Danny," he said, an evil grin growing on his face, "I have not come for that. I have come to revenge CHAR-BOY!" Elfman's face went suddenly pale. "H-how could you know about that?" he asked fearully. "I only just started bragging about before you came in here!" "I heard it from CHAR=BOY HIMSELF!" Burwell screamed at him. "You fool!" "Fool?" excalimed Elfman, leaping up from his table, sending his chair flying backward across the room. "I'll show you who's a fool! En garde!" "Alas, poor Danny," said Burwell. "You shall never defeat my SECET WEAPON..."

JJH Oscar® Winner	"NO," replies Burwell. "oh, please?" begs Elfman suddenly Burwell lunges at Elfman, but the slick and ever inventive Batman composer summons his supernatural powers and transforms into the Elfmaniac of all people and proceeds to write really bad reviews of Burwell CDs. Elfman pumps out the reviews as quick as a machine gun, but Burwell....

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	At this point, Jerry Goldsmith and Christopher Young unexpectedly stride into the scene, arguing over the relative merits of the beard ("it makes me look more ARTISTIC!") versus the ponytail (it makes me look more COOL!"). (Both are, of course, chain-smoking fiercely as usual, and Christopher is chugging his characteristic can of Mountain Dew; Jerry more primly sips from a bottle of Evian. Neither seem terribly interested in what Carter and Danny are up to.)

Observer Oscar® Winner	"Watch out!" Burwell warns Goldsmith and Young. "He'll set you on fire and steal your onions!" Jerry Goldsmith smoothly takes a swig from his Evian and responds, "The Goldsmith does not have to worry about such petty mortal issues. The Goldsmith's onions are quite safe." And with that, Jerry Goldsmith begins to hover in the air and flys off, complete with the Jetson's Car sound effect. "Cripes, Jerry! You know I can't fly!" Young calls after Goldsmith.

JoeInSanDiego Oscar® Winner	Young pulls a magic baton from beneath baggy clothing. "But, with a wave of my magic baton, I can certainly avoid getting my onions stolen and beard fried!" Young waves his baton, sputters into the air like a drunken crow, then drops. "DAMMIT BURWELL! YOUR BAT SUIT IS PLAYING HAVOC WITH MY BATON!" Elfman rises to a full ten feet! "EXCELLENT!" He twiddles his thumbs and turns to his silent cohort, who had been hiding slightly in the far shadows. "YOU!" Shirley Walker hobbles out. "BRING ME THE GOLDEN MONKEY!"

Al Oscar® Winner	At this point, Shirley Walker carried out Craig Safan dressed in a Golden Monkey outfit. Burwell looked at him with much confusion, at which Safan explained, "Hey. Times got tough. What else was I supposed to do?" Burwell looked at Safan, a familiar face from his past, and said...

Marc Flake Oscar® Winner	"Horner, you swine!" yelled Burwell. "What have you done with my score for MYSTERY ALASKA?" "BWHAHAHAHA," laughed Horner. "I've taken it to use in my new composition for THUNDERHEART 2! Therefore I cannot allow it to be released!"

John Dunham Oscar® Winner	"Speaking of which," says Elfman dangerously. "I hear you've been knocking off my Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas in your Grinch score. Is that true?" Horner frowns, and takes a step backward. "Um, no, of course not!" he says hurriedly. "You know I would never steal from... uh, I mean, get inspired by your scores. Come, let us join forces against this Bat-suited moron who threatens us both!" Elfman looks to be considering the proposal, until Sefan, in an rather small voice, speaks up: "I think he took some of my Last Starfighter, too," Creg (aka The Golden Monkey) says from his position in Walker's arms. Elfman drew his lips back in a feral grin. "I shall dispose of you BOTH!" he shouts at Horner and Burwell. He stretches his arms towards the heavens, pulling lightning and thunder through the broken skylight above them... "That's MY score!" exclaims an indignant voice from the back of the room. Everyone turns, surprised, to see a figure wearing a black leather suit with "K-Men" on the front... [Message edited by John Dunham on 11-18-2000]

Get it?" From the background Don Davis plays a rimshot on the drums. K-Men then turns to Horner. "You! I believe you know my friend here..." From behind K-Men comes...James Horner???

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	The MV pets fly out and away from the Volcano, thousands of them grouped in a school resembling a giant black cloud. They are screaming as they fly, screeching in an ever louder song of vengeance, when suddenly...unexpectedly...the sky itself splits apart to reveal a mammoth BLACK HAND, swatting the MV pets as though they were tiny house flies. The cloud dissipates as pets are smashed and flattened and otherwise detained. The HAND pulls back to reveal its operator...QUINCY JONES! "Ah'll GIT yoo WHITIES!" He cries! "Ah'm DE MAN!" As the mammoth BLACK HAND moves toward the Earth, we hear...
