The eponymous Don LaFontaine, who lent his melliflous voice to narrating thousands of movie movie trailers (the oft-used “In a world…” was his most famous and parodied line) as well as countless commercials and other announcing gigs before spoofing himself in a famous Geico Commercial, has died at 68. A random YouTube search turned up this trailer for Cannon Films’ idiotic ’80s version of “Journey to the Center of the Earth” starring Emo Phillips. LaFontaine’s enthusiastic narration leads you to believe it might actually be coherent and worth watching. It’s not. Rest in peace, big guy.
