Yesterday, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, 68-year-old Don LaFontaine passed away. Who's Don LaFontaine you might be asking? Oh, you all know him...he's THE king of movie trailers, or I should more appropriately say he was the king of movie trailers. LaFontaine did voiceover work for more than 5,000 movie films, introducing the world to classic movie trailer cliches such as the aforementioned "In a world..." and "A one-man army..." among many others.
Rest in peace Mr. LaFontaine, and as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

I find that bit much funnier with the video. Its hard to laugh at a guy that looks that much like a tool.
That should read "without" the video.
