The Man Himself

One of my passions in life is watching and collecting movies on DVD. I rarely see films in the theaters anymore (mainly because I live in Japan where a ticket costs the equivalent of about $18). Even though seeing a film in the theater is fun, watching a DVD in the comfort of your own home is more appealing I think, and most people would tell you that the best part of seeing films in the theater would be the trailers anyway. (That means "previews" if you're not hip to film lingo... "Previews" used to "trail" the feature up until blockbusters started being made, and for some damn reason, the term "trailer" stuck.) I've wondered for years who that guy is that does the voiceovers for trailers, but before I can get back to my computer and Google him, I always forget. But not today! His name is Don LaFontaine, and he is THE MAN.
