Unfortunately, we've lost another one. Don LaFontaine passed away at the age of 68.
Who, you may ask? Well, he was the 'announcer voice' for over 5000 movie trailers and was recently featured in a Geico commercial. He pretty much defined the trailer as we know it today and was regarded as a legend in the industry.
I never met the man, but he seemed to be genuinely nice. Yet another small piece of our world gone.
A fun interview with him follows:

that's sad. Who's going to do movie announcements now? :(
I'm sure they'll find another person. Or, they'll build a robotic Don LaFontaine who'll eventually take over the world and force us humans to work while he shouts at us with his smooth, melodic voice.
