That Time Eric Stoltz Ripped Off Yeats

Pre-internet, what would stop you? Good old-fashioned American fear of death, that's what.

Eric Stoltz, ya dingdong. (IMDB)

Who’s your Eric Stoltz?

The failed Marty McFly? Rocky Dennis (oh my god, I forgot there’s a poem in that, too)? Lance? For me, he’s John Brooke, penniless tutor and object of Meg March’s affection in the 1994 film version of Little Women. But recently, he also earned another dubious accolade in my mind: thief of Yeats.
