that “in a world” guy dies

Wed, Sep 03, 2008

I’ve gotten links to this one from lots of you: Don LaFontaine, voice of movie trailers, has died at the age of 68.

Oddly enough, I have absolutely nothing to say about this. Does that make me a bad person? I don’t mean I wished the man ill or anything, but the news of his passing did not rock my world. In fact, now that I think about it, maybe now we’ll get some more interesting movie trailers that don’t sound like all the other movie trailers we’ve seen for the last 20 years.

That probably does make me a bad person. So there.

share and enjoy

Well, I’m not going to say anything that hasn’t already been said.

Aw, that’s a drag, mostly because his “face” and name have become somewhat recognizable in the past year with his appearance in Geico commercial (the series that use “famous people” of Charo and Little Richard’s ilk to tell the insurance stories of regular people).
