Dion takes us inside Tortilla Flats‘ recent 21st annual Borgnine Night, and the resulting reminiscences about Ernie and other recently departed celebrities (whether or not the Academy felt like mentioning them at its recent award-thingie shindig) somehow morph into a hard-hitting look at who, exactly, is entitled to the rights—creative, financial, and otherwise—when a work’s […]
