yes, it is that time again. it's back to blogging. i apologize for the long drought of posts. but now, i'm back to school, filling my brain again with more information that i will never use again, and filling your brain with information that you just might think is fucking awesome. or not, either or.
for all of those who are tired of these political conventions and want some real current events that will have a real impact on your life (just kidding), here's some sad news from the theatrical world.. Don LaFontaine, the voice-over for thousands of movie trailers including The Godfather, Terminator 2, Shrek, and Friday the 13th, died on September 2, at the age of 68.
we grew up hearing his voice tell us about the upcoming movies and tv shows we would rush out to see or cram on the couch to watch. it wasn't just my generation that he had an impact on, but also on the generation before. who knows, maybe subconsciously, the real reason why everyone loved to see the previews was so they could hear his voice. perhaps it was an element of comfort that we never knew about. think about it...
that's all for tonight. i'm going to continue blogging steadily now, which includes posts from other people (cough cough, if you're interested, cough cough).
here is the story of don lafontaine. hope you enjoy.
