In a World of Don LaFontaine, A Reel-Life Figure of Speech

It’s a true shame.  Movie trailers will never be the same again. downer

And Ain’t It Cool News has a blurb about him and links to a bunch of videos.

I always wondered who did that voice.
What a shame.

His passing is a sad loss, but at least nobody can say he didn’t leave his mark on the world - he was the sound of movie trailers for heck-knows how long. I reckon that’ll get a mention in the movie history books. Don is dead, long live Don.

Very sad that he passed.

There are some youtube vids about him that are well worth watching.
