You know who has the coolest voice in the movies? Vin Diesel? Christian Bale? Clint Eastwood? Hell no. That title belongs to Don LaFontaine. Most movies that come out get some hype while they're in development, then you find out about the cast and crew who are a part of it. Then those first teaser trailers come out, and get you a little interested. Finally, that first full preview comes out at a theater, and you here a deep voice saying something like "In the beginning..." or "In a world..." You hear that voice, and you know you're going somewhere else. And it's only the beginning of an amazing tale. Don LaFontaine got your attention in those first few seconds. Anybody that can do that in a few words has some talent rarely seen. No sports announcer, game show host, or animated voiceover could top what he's done. His voice will be sadly missed in the world of film.........he never had to actually star in any movie to become famous.
Anyways, just to let those of you out there who read this blog know, I plan on having a big post soon. I've been planning this for several days, getting my thoughts together, and making sure I make the best points I can. Nothing like this has gotten me so pumped up before, and I do want to at least give a hint as to what you'll be reading: I am going to bash a certain group of people who I feel commit the worst atrocities to the world of entertainment. And unfortunately, these people are still heard on a regular basis, and need to be silenced. While you ponder that, I must be going.
