    We lose Don LaFontaine but still have Fran Drescher. The world is a cruel place. Granted he had 20 years on her but there's no reason she couldn't have been thrown under a bus and Don could have made it to 90.

    The thing here is I watched the video I posted at the beginning about two weeks ago. Then a couple days later he was in the hospital. Now he is dead. Things happen so suddenly.

    Some friends of mine at UNC Wilmington e-mailed him and got him to do a little sound byte for the theater department there, which they play before each one of their shows. He seemed like an all-around cool guy.

    I'm trying to remember the last time I heard a trailer that actually had a voice over. Seems to be a thing of the past now with today's trailers. Or at least a good majority of them.

    That's because LaFontaine stopped working.
