In a world where Don LaFontaine has gone to the big microphone in the sky ...

The voice of many, many movie trailers, Don LaFontaine, died on Monday from complications after a recent illness. He originated the "In a world where ..." phrasing, which he said was a quick way of bringing people into the mood and premise of the movie. I wonder if the industry will retire the phrase or keep using it as a tribute?

I would hope that someone uses it at his funeral, as an introduction to his eulogy.
