Movie Voice-Over Guy Dies

Don LaFontaine Dies At 68

That's really a shame; his voice over work was exceptionally superb. Watching previews won't be the same for a long, long time.

I wonder who will give a dramatic reading of his Eulogy at the funeral?

It'd have to be either Sean Connery, James Earl Jones or Dennis Haysbert.

Here's how it will go...

In a time, when Movies made untold fortunes, one man stood alone, and introduced those films to the masses.... His Name? .....

I'm gonna miss the hell out of his voice. One of those things you took for granted. I'm not joking when I say his death is a loss. Seemed like a very good guy, too.

Now I'm sad and I'm going to bed.
