Just like those portentious narrators you hear in all the movie trailers now, combining a shout with a snarl with a stage whisper...while someone gits kilt or something gits blowed up real good...all at several thousand decibels, in case you weren't paying attention. They all sound the same too (sort of like Steven Seagal would struggling with REALLY bad constipation), but it's quite a different sound from the old radio heroes. I avoid scores of new movies entirely because of the trailers...obviously I am not in the demographic they are aiming for.

I loved "Seven Years in Tibet" and "Anna and the King"...two movies that didn't last a week in Orillia.

Okay, back to Sergeant Preston...
