Who would you rather have narrate your life, Jeremy Irons(Voice of Scar from the Lion King) or James Earl Jones (voice of Mufasa from the lion king and Darth Vader)?
Since so many people are coming up with there own suggestions if your life was a movie who would you want to narrate it.
-
Sure James Earl Jones' voice has its merits, but compared to Jeremy Irons, he might as well be a white noise machine.
In fact, all sound is white noise compared to Jeremy Irons' voice.
-
fsshsshhssshshhshshshshshshshshshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsshshhhhhhhshshshshshhsshhhshhhhshsshhshshshhshhhshshshhshssssssssssssssssshhhhhhshshshhhhhshshsh
-
Is Keith David an option?
-
Sorry Keith David is not even though his voice is great i don't think he holds a candle to either James Earl Jones or Jeremy Irons
-
Actually, I want Gilbert Gottfried. Because fuck all y'all.
-
Personally I'm amazed that Morgan Freeman isn't in the running, but I'd go with James Earl Jones.
-
Who played Lando Calrissian.
That guy
-
I'd go with Morgan Freeman, and to make it even more awesome I'd change my name to Andy Dufresne.
-
Now that i changes the question above I'm going to say i would want Jeremy Irons
-
Alan Rickman motherfucks
-
James Earl Jones, in the 80's, non-modulated. With a tire iron.
-
Actually, I want Gilbert Gottfried. Because fuck all y'all.
this is a good choice too.
In response to the second question, I'm not sure, but the person has to have severe, severe Down Syndrome.
Git-r-done.
-
Who played Lando Calrissian.
That guy
That would be Billy Dee Williams. And that is the only movie he has ever been in. Ever.
-
WRONG.
He was Harvey Dent in the Tim Burton Batman.
Billy Dee tell 'em bout Colt 45 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pK5HmuCMBM)
Anyway, Carl Fucking Sagan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9KT4M7kiSw), shitbrains.
-
Sorry, I forgot about the internet having no voice inflection
-
Iggy Pop
-
Morgan Freeman, all the way.
-
Kraftwerk
-
John Waters.
-
If I could raise the dead - Lorne Greene.
But because there'd have to be lots of sarcasm - Rick Mercer.
-
Mike Rowe, or the not annoying voice that narrates How Its Made. Or the Modern Marvels guy. Basically, any narrator of anything on Discovery Channel I want to tell step by step my every waking moment.
-
I'd probably choose James Earl Jones considering how he showed up Morgan Freeman's lines in Scary Movie 4. Only the last part of that film was worth watching.
-
Alan Rickman motherfucks
Yessssssssssssss
-
Alec Baldwin. His narration in Royal Tennenbaums would fit my life perfectly.
-
Oddly enough, I didn't know that until now. Him, too, then. He can do the lighter bits, James Earl Jones can do the darker bits.
-
Al Pacino. I want even the most mundane and normal things in my life overly dramatized and shouted.
-
Alan Rickman motherfucks
More like Alan Arkin
-
Billy Dee tell 'em bout Colt 45 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pK5HmuCMBM)
fuckin' sold his brothers out to the dark side
-
Alan Rickman motherfucks
I though about this then decided: "Nope, I'd rather have Bogart."
-
Oooooooo! How about Ian McDiarmid or some other random person who plays all the stereotypical villains?
Maybe Christoper Lee, too.
-
Actually tomselleck's avatar up there made me think that Ian McShane could possibly be the raddest voice to have on your biopic
-
Because my life is so mundane, I'd want it narrated by James May.
-
I already narrate my entire life in my head and I am already pretty sure that my life is a movie.
-
Stan Lee.
duh.
-
God no. Everything would be done in alliteration. It would be awful.
Unless that's what you want I guess. It is your movie, after all.
-
i do love alliteration.
-
Sir Ian McKellen.
-
James Mason, aka the Metatron.
-
Our life is not a movie.
-
I demand to know why Sam Waterson is not mentioned, he narrated a few of the World History movies we watched ages ago. He has the voice for it, and even better, there could be random legal terms.
-
Lets be honest. For my life story, you are going to need to resurrect Laurence Olivier (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LLKv38kOrI)
-
Waylon Jennings. Hopefully he could posthumously tack in some car chases to spice things up.
-
Man, you beat me to it.
-
Stephen Fry....
Debate ends
-
Ken Burns, anyone?
Or Tim Curry. He narrated the audiobooks for the Abhorsen series, by the way.
-
What are you people talking about, there is only one possible answer.
Motherfucking Jean-Luc Picard.
-
Ron fuckmothering Perlman?
-
Oedipus Mother-Fucking Rex
-
St. Peter Daddy-Buggering The Apostle!
-
Harry Shearer, though admittedly Tim Curry and Patrick Stewart are close seconds.
-
So difficult to choose. Only, I don't know if I could have the voice of Mufasa's killer reading my life story.
Maybe Sir Ian McKellen, and I would definitely consider Patrick Stewart.
What about Jim Dale?
-
Oh man, Jim Dale would be pretty fantastic. He's awesome and has a pretty fantastic voice. I could listen to him forever.
-
Phillip Seymour Hoffman's impression of Truman Capote would add a bit of vim to my days.
-
So much depends on the style of writing involved though too. For example, if my life were being narrated in the style of Bukowski, I'd want the narration to be read by Steve Buscemi in full on self-absorbed dirt bag mode.
