Financially speaking in a world of depression and depravity a bar tender would be doing better than in one of wholesomeness and quiet.

Though notice while Nick is better off financially he is absolutely not happier in the alternate dimension.

One of the more important performances in the film.

Nick is the first character who we see a personality change in the alternate dimension. Plus Nick, (unlike most of the townsfolk) is only in one scene before the dimensional shift, so the actor has one scene to establish his character and become likable, so that when the dimensional shift happens we notice the change and are revulsed by it.

Really a good performance.

When people give up is when opportunity prospers. Hard to do something that everybody else is trying to do first.

This is A theory though right? We don’t know precisely what the deal with Atlantis is right?

Who you are doesn’t really matter. Who you can be is far more important.

No.

You are made of dirt.

Don’t be full of yourself.

Is too ESPENSIVE”

In the audio book I read the accent is consistent across the narrators. But just with a twinge of that characters narration flair.

Because nobody thinks THEY have an accent. It’s when other people recall their voice that an accent is given.

Ah dang. Reddit acting up again. Removed the other one.

You’re missing my point. It isn’t the multiple narrators. It’s the multi narrators that have consistency yet simultaneous uniqueness to the narrator.

So Mina Murray’s narration does a voice for Van Helsing that is the same cadence and tone as when Jonathan Harker’s narration does a voice for Van Velsing, but not only are both these voices consistant they sound unique to the respective narrators (Harker’s impersonation of Van Helsing vs. Mina’s) but this is also done for Harker’s version of Quincy, Van Gelding’s version of Quincy, Mina’s version of Quincy, Harker’s version of Lord Godalming etc.

It’s really amazing and honestly unnecessary but really adds to the cohesion as the multiple narrators can make the various characters easily get lost in the older English.

The audio book is actually one of if not the best audio books ever written. It’s an unimaginable achievement given the several different narrators all sound distinct but are consistent for the most part in their voices for shared characters. Honestly it will blow you mind.

The thing is Texans are really as cartoony as Quincy is. Right down to our accents being something we can turn on and off when we want to. Which is the kind of little detail that makes it clear Stoker based Quincy off of some real Texan he must have met once.

Show don’t tell. You show a person with broken English, you don’t just say “he had broken English” gives him a unique voice.

You might be listening to the wrong Audio Book. You want the one with Tim Curry in it.

As for old Abe, VH speaks broken English, and when heard it sounds very characterful but when read it’s hard I imagine.

During the era most people HEARD books not read them (as books were usually read aloud to groups) thus the writing style is very different before the invention of pulp printing allowed the mass distribution of books at remarkably cheap prices made private reading the main way people experienced books.

The quickest way to depression is living life to try to make YOURSELF happy.
