Title: James Earl Jones vs Jeremy Irons
Post by: dangerdave on 20 Sep 2008, 19:41
 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.

Is Keith David an option?
Title: Re: James Earl Jones vs Jeremy Irons
Post by: dangerdave on 20 Sep 2008, 20:03
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

Personally I'm amazed that Morgan Freeman isn't in the running, but I'd go with James Earl Jones.

I'd go with Morgan Freeman, and to make it even more awesome I'd change my name to Andy Dufresne.

James Earl Jones, in the 80's, non-modulated.  With a tire iron.

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.

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.

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.
Title: Re: James Earl Jones vs Jeremy Irons
Post by: satsugaikaze on 22 Sep 2008, 06:19
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.

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.

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

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 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.

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?
Title: Re: James Earl Jones vs Jeremy Irons
Post by: ThePQ4 on 26 Sep 2008, 10:19
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.

Post by: Alex C on 29 Sep 2008, 14:23
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.
