This loss will be felt for years to come. It is sad to think that kids born today won't know that deep baritone voice - In A World...
Good stuff and he'll be missed.

This was very sad to read. What are movie trailers going to be like now, in a world where Don LaFontaine no longer lives?

In a world, without announcement trailers.... ONE voice is missing. R.I.P. Don Lafontaine. And the saga continues... in the afterlife. JUDGEMENT DAY... because this time, they'll get their payback. </Lafontaine voice>

Some more on Don LaFontaine:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QPMv...eature=related I love this - he would do people's voicemail messages for them.  5 guys in a limo (when he was a bit younger): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRtuxdfQHw What's I found funny is with the post-effects houses they mention near the end - I did network engineering work with about half of them at some time or other before I left that job. |

I was about to say something about the "In a world..." but 200 people beat me to it. Of all the friends I had including me who tried to imitate it, no one came close

I just heard a Mitsu ad with him in it - I was browsing online with Mythbusters on and I heard "In a world...."
Sad. He will be missed for years to come. Thresh |
