@matthewdallaway I'm impressed that EW had such an organised, hierarchical system to respond. Some eleven categories of fan. And that he could just summarise this system for Nancy. Perhaps that's a writer's brain? Plot, character development etc. The mail must have been monumental when he was at peak popularity.
I used to work at a bookstore chain. Once a great while the owner's wife would come in. She would often buy a few hundred dollars worth of books, mostly to give as presents. She was nice. And I have no ill will for her at all.
I love that he ends with "that more or less covers the field" even though her letter fits into none of the categories. Which, of course, is why he's responding to her
Does anybody know the old PC game “Titanic Adventure Out of Time?” I vote Tobias Menzies for the role of Charles Lambeth-all he’s have to do is this accent. And, ironically, Mr. Lambeth is a guy who suspects his wife might be stepping out on him with a guy named Frank. Lmao
I love these videos, and I love that not everyone is speaking in RP, but I can't share 90% of your videos with my friends because you don't add CC's or a transcript. If these were hour-long improvised video essays, maybe that would be understandable; but you have the entire text before you even pick a reader. I'm not angry, I'm genuinely confused. And before anyone mentions the auto-generated captions, I invite you to turn them on and mute the video.
He was kinda a big deal. It's not paranoia if they're all after you. Isn't fake humble more annoying than justified satisfaction? Would you expect Mick Jagger to say I don't know if you've heard of my band unironically ?

We should let Tobias Menzies do more comedy! He has such great comic timing!
Ever watched Eternal Law? Excellent single season series. Tobias Menzies superb, as was the rest of the cast.
Doesn't he just? He's great in Aisling Bea's comedy series This Way Up.
Tell that to his agent 😉
I’ve seen him in a few films and he usually is the straight man in a comedy pair. He’s very funny but in a silly way
Magnificent voice and world class presenter! Love this
he has a comedic streak, we have already noticed this in some of his characters, intelligent humor
Love this guy! I will watch anything he has done❤️
Beautifully read. Gosh.

Oh my!! Tobias should have played Charles in The Crown! He sounds so much like him already!!😂❤️
....should I say or naah?
He’s doing the Prince Philip voice! “Spare me!”
His tone is brilliant for this letter.
🤣🤣🤣. Very drol. I watch absolutely everything that Tobias acts in - love his incredibly diverse range of acting.
So very talented & eloquent! I’d go see Tobias if I could, he’s a great actor, this I know & orator I see… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏴🏴☕️
Magnificent voice ❤
Great read! Well done!
Brilliant. What a great talent.
I adore this man 🥰
Probably the greatest Catholic writer of the 20th Century, hilarious!
Has he ever done a Wes Anderson movie? He should, has the right feel and good sense of comic timing for it!

terrific as always, what a voice...and more shallowly.....great outfit....should dress like this more often!
He had a nice fit on for his Seth Meyers interview 😊
Tobias Menzies could play famous botanist and ship's surgeon Archibald Menzies!
Evelyn Waugh is so underrated.
Among the greatest novelists, in any language, of the 20th century, and widely recognised as such?
@@TillyOrificeabsolutely
He is a treasure. Both serious and comedy genres.
hello tobias i love you.
Anyone watched Eternal Law? Look it up and watch it.
Luv that show! I was able to get only limited seasons streaming here in the USA.
Perfect role for Mr. Menzies. He plays "naughty" so well.
I'm currently trying to watch anything I can find him in so thanks for the rec!
The word Pompous came to my conclusion

Sounds like Prince Philip.
The letter could've used a touch more recognition of the (ironic?) level of self-involvement.

I think the title overshot the mark.
