Don LaFontaine, the voice of countless movie trailers, is dead at 68. I liked this tribute from the Washington Post:
In a world of people who all have some sort of private omniscient voice-over running things inside their heads, sometimes God, sometimes Mom, and sometimes Don LaFontaine...
In a world where marketing is far more important than content...came one man...with a Voice.
Check out a brief bio video of LaFontaine with his voice in action.
The best way to get a sense of what kottke.org is all about is to head to the front page or check out some random entries from the archives.
