Tuesday, 2 September 2008RIP: 'In A World...' Movie Trailer Master
Topic: News
Posted by Chris Cummings at 1:16 PM EDTIn a world of movie trailers, Don LaFontaine was the master. He died yesterday, at age 68. LaFontaine's baritone voice and dramatic delivery are most often associated with the movie trailer catchphrase, "In a world..." But he's done thousands of television commercials, network promotions, and video game trailers. (At one point, he was so pressed for time during the workday that he told his a driver to just take him from studio to studio in order to save time finding parking spaces!) LaFontaine is survived by his wife, Nita Whitaker, and three children.

But, if you pay careful attention to the lyrics, you'll see that Bingo could be the name of dog OR the farmer! Log in to Comment | Permalink Happy Labor Day

Topic: News
Posted by Chris Cummings at 5:22 PM EDTActor Julius J. Carry, III--best known around GV HQ as the Shogun of Harlem, Sho'nuff, in the classic 1980's kung-fu comedy flick The Last Dragon--passed away August 19. He was 56. Here, Mr. Carry gets to chew the scenery as the over-the-top villain Sno'nuff (a performance we still reference 20+ years later): "Who da mastah?" "Sho'nuff!" Rest in peace, Mr. Carry.

Topic: Weird Wire™
Posted by Chris Cummings at 12:01 AM EDTAs far as we know, no actual babies were harmed in the production of this cake. And you really can't argue there is true artistry in the final product. But cakes are made to be eaten. And this cake looks like a newborn baby. Maybe I'm just a picky eater, but I don't think I could stomach eating a slice of bambino... Not disturbed enough? Check out the official "making of" video at http://www.michellesugarart.co.uk Seen something weird online?

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by Chris Cummings at 12:11 PM EDTThis week's Best Pet is Truce. The proud owner: Gamesviller Luckyplate of Spartanburg, SC. Distinguishing Personality Traits Luckyplate says: "My new puppy, Truce, is a lab-retriever mix who came to live with us when he was 8 weeks old. Now five months old, Truce lays at my feet a lot, especially while I'm playing on Gamesville. He surprised me one day by perking up his ears after each game of Three-Eyed Bingo when the "whoooh-whoooh-whoooh" sound comes on. He then howled like crazy and sounded just like the game. It is the funniest, cutest, and loudest thing!" Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?
