Slow day at work...
I know I'm a day or so late on this...but who cares. I'm not google or cnn. Get your breaking news elsewhere. I just wanted to celebrate the life and accomplishments of the man with the golden [movie trailer] voice.
Just think of how many trailers he must have done...and how some of the scripts must have been so awful, he could barely get through them. For example, "The Day After Tomorrow" is my favorite trailer of all time...it's probably the worst name for a movie ever.
"Just when you think you're safe, the most horrific winter storm of all time attacks...its... 'the day after tomorrow'. But if it doesn't hit until tomorrow, it'll be "today". And if it doesn't come until Saturday, it'll be "two days from now"... but i digress. Ray could make anything sound unbelievable. I paid my 7.50 to see The Day After Tomorrow, and I have to admit, the trailer was better than the movie.
He will always be remembered and admired for having a talent no one else can put on their resume. Good luck to anyone trying to follow in his golden footsteps.
