Also a note on the passing of a Hollywood icon...
Warner Todd Huston here, and I just wanted to add to the lighter discussion a note on the sad passing of a Hollywood icon. This hasn't a thing to do with politics or the liberal media, but I thought it might interest everyone.
On Monday, voice artist Don LaFontaine died. You may not know his name but you absolutely have heard his work. Think of yourself settling into a movie. The theater goes dark. The trailers begin. Dramatic music fills the room and the mellifluous sound of a baritone voice emerges to coo: "In a world where..."
That's right, the movie trailer guy. He has given the dramatic reading for over 5000 movie trailers over the decades. His voice is now stilled. By all accounts he was one of the truly nice guys in Hollywood, too. No ego trip, full of mirth and good humor.
Here is a Geico commercial he did so you can hear and see him...
And here is a nice little video about his work...
RIP, Don... In a world where there is no Don LaFontaine... will we ever enjoy movie trailers as much again?
