Hal Douglas, who narrated a big chunk of all the movie trailers you've ever watched, died recently at the age of 89. Here he is in a trailer for a Jerry Seinfeld movie, playing a guy who narrates movie trailers. I understand the movie didn't do that well, but the trailer has been watched on YouTube over 700,000 times.

The similarity of trailers began to impress itself on me sometime in the 2000s, but I assumed it was because of the increasing banality of the movies.
I thought it was the ever present banality of Hollywood- if it works, copy it fourteen different ways until someone else proves something else works.
