Don LaFontaine Dies At 68

For those of you who don't know, he's the man who does the recordings for all the movie trailers. :(

...Who the hell is going to take his place?

This is an outrage! Mother nature should have gifted this man immortality.

I really can't say it better than this. No one could possibly do a better voiceover than him.

Rest In Peace, man.

In a world where one voice can touch the hearts of an entire generation....

That is the most fitting tribute I could come up with.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Dang, someone from my school had connections to a guy who knew this man. He gave us 'his voice' for a Computer Science introduction movie we had out of charity. Unfortunately, that movie became out dated due to a huge staff change over last summer.

R.I.P. man.
