8/12/2007 - 5 Guys in a Limo

Is it just me, or has the amount of trailers before the movies grown more these days? I mean, you can literally show up 15 minutes late to the theater and still see the beginning of the movie because there are so many trailers. Normally, I wouldn't mind... I like watching previews of upcoming movies. But you would think that with all the advertising involved, they could at least lower the price of the movie ticket. Instead, it goes up and up... while you're forced to sit there and wait for your movie to begin.

So if you're a regular moviegoer, you'll recognize the guys in this video... or specifically their voices. Yes, they're all of the announcers you hear in the trailers of movies. These guys probably get paid lots of money just to read a few lines, but they deserve their earnings... just their voices alone lend some credibility to the movie they're peddling. They sound so alike (except for the Disney guy), you'd swear they were all one person. Just play the video and close your eyes and you'll see what I mean.
