Those legendary trailer narrators

[Hordakfan]

Percy Rodriguez, Adolf Caesar, Charles Aidman, Peter Cullen, Don Lafortine, Hal Douglas and more.

They all have amazing voices in commercials and trailers in the 70s, 80s and 90s as some even do acting to voice acting (Peter Cullen for example) and is a missing art in trailers nowadays as they knew how to sell movies and stuff.

More nostalgia than anything, but I definitely think trailers are better without narration. I think it’s cheesy if a trailer does it now. Mostly they keep it to tv spots.

I hate the word "cheesy", my biggest pet peeve!

The moment any review throws around the word "cheesy" to describe a movie without using it to call a film cheap? Like it's actual definition?

It's a turn off. It's turns me off of the review or describe some old trailer, and I can't take it seriously. Case in point, sentences or dialogue like this...

"Cobra is a cheesy 80's movie."

Nope. Done with that critic, like I am done with dinner. Cobra is an awesome movie filled to the brim with that signature 80's charm. There. I fixed it.

Still as true as ever.

One of my biggest pet peeves. Stop using Cheesy to endearingly describe a movie. It's very definition is to say something is cheap or inauthentic.

Stop using the word Cheesy in film reviews. Unless you are using it in a derogatory way. Cheesy is not meant to be used in an endearing way or in positive reviews. Unless you are trying to say the film you like is cheap, unpleasant and unauthentic then don't use it in this particular context.

Rant over.

I'm trying to wonder when they got completely phased out. I know the occasional family film has them for some odd reason, but yeah.

Oh yes there's Mark Elliot too
