How odd -- I thought there were several of them, but it seems that there was only one man. I wonder if his personal life was the story of a brave man, his best friend, and the woman who loved them both.

Man, this is a real downer.

He was one of the unspoken - or should that be bespoken? - heroes of the film world.

In a world... Without LaFontaine... Nothing will ever be the same. When you need a voiceover talent, and there's no one else to turn to, and the chips are down, you call LaFontaine. The uplifting story of one man fighting against the odds. LaFontaine, RIP.

I have mixed feelings about this guy. On one hand, he has the coolest voice EVER; But on the other hand, he used that voice to pimp TERRIBLE movies like they were gold. It got to the point were I started associating his awesome voice with shit.

I have a voice like that, almost, and it's my dream job. Maybe I should get on a plane.

What a delightful piece. I'm real sad, but I also want to go out and see a movie.
