In a world where...

 Tragic news for all movie buffs: the death of Don LaFontaine earlier this week in LA. You may not recognise his picture or even know his name, but you'd certainly know his voice, as he was responsible for over 5,000 film trailers over the last 43 years. The voice-over king worked on everything from Dr. Strangelove to The Terminator and Rocky, and also recorded a host of TV and radio ads. He will be sorely missed, in a cinema near you soon.
