Ha…Tom Hardy has everyone running in circles trying to pinpoint that awesome Bane voice. My ovaries basically thought it was Darth Connery and asked me to make babies with it immediately.
Bane from “Dark Knight Rises” sounds like…
…Vincent Price talking through a window fan. (Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice)
…he’s got an Egg McMuffin lodged in his trachea. (Phil Villarreal, OK! Magazine)
…somewhere between Yoda post-testosterone patch and Sean Connery on appletinis. (Michelle Orange, Movieline)
…an imitation of Sir Ian McKellen doing Patrick Stewart. (Tom Charity, CNN)
…Scooby-Doo. (Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle)
…a circus ringmaster trying to reach the cheap seats with a dollar-bin megaphone. (Rick Marshall, IFC)
…Bill Cosby speaking with an English accent through a Darth Vader filter. (samzepus, Slashdot)
…Darth Vader and Andy Kaufman’s Foreign Man. (David Edelstein, NPR)
…Darth Vader with an Irish accent. (Dan Blomquist, Easy Reader News)
…Darth Vader shouting, while playing a bass accordion through a Harley Davidson exhaust pipe. (Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian)
He’s such a goober.
Wow, all of these were ridiculous and stupid except for the Vincent Price quote. I thought his voice was awesome; it...
darth connery
Sean Connery with a spoon in his mouth! also a) the Ian Mckellen/Patrick Stewart one is genius and b) it’s really rude...
…a schmaltzy Sean Connery. (my dad)
So so so true. I couldn’t take his voice seriously.
