Jerry, in Heaven, is called to the carpet:"It wasn't a real song in praise of....Yes, I know he doesn't die at the end but if you see part three....The only reason it won was because Bernard Herrmann was nominated for two films....What do you mean that's another strike against me?....The song nomination came as a surprise to me too....Yes, I realize he has a lot of influence in Hollywood....Look, it was just one movie, I've done 300....The Satan Bug has nothing to do with....What about Lillies of the Field?....What do you mean The Trouble With Angels cancels that out?!....." Jerry, in Hell, is given a celebrity roast (no pun intended): "I'm amazed to see so many of my old producers here....Yes, Don, I will have another, a double, thanks....So, you guys really like the ponytail, huh?....."

That is hilarious! You know, I always wanted to do a one-frame comic similar to this, of Jerry sitting at his desk writing THE OMEN and the Devil standing behind him, promising the Oscar win if he does this one task...But then I don't want to wish Jerry any ill will, since he is a favorite of mine and all.

I just bought the deluxe editions of The Omen and The Final Conflict and was playing them while thinking about Halloween and this dumb shtik came to me and I put it down. I'm glad some of you found it funny. The bit someone mentioned about the Devil promising Goldsmith an Oscar for writing Ave Satani had me laughing as well.

Actually Frank, that could be turned into a very interesting story. A loop-hole in their contract requires Jerry to do Damien and The Final Conflict, but he only gets the Oscar for the first run. Fed up with his misfortune, Jerry summons the ghost of Daniel Webster. After an arduous trial, Webster wins and a triumphant Goldsmith is saved from having to score Omen IV: The Awakening! But then, poor Jonathan Sheffer...  Kirk

It just occured to me that Varese could pull the marketing coup of the century (of course, the century's only eleven months old) by pricing its new OMEN CD's at $6.66 apiece!Hey, Bob! Are ya listening? Ah, the Devil is in the details! [Message edited by perfpitch on 11-30-2001]
