Without having read other comments: I would say that the Beatles may well have gotten from Martin their propensity for chord sequences influenced by Franz Schubert. Anyone else here think so? It's difficult to play a movement of a Schubert piano sonata from the 1820s without encountering a Beatles chord progression…

Burwell's music for Hudsucker was fine, but a lot of the most memorable music in it was by Aram Khachaturian (including the opening title music and, in the later hula hoop manufacturing scene, the famous "Sabre Dance" also used in Sally Field's kitchen scene in Punchline).

You mean Macy? It was Macy, not Buscemi, who was nominated for best supporting actor.

I was surprised to see Ebert say "based on a real-life case" - was he so credulous that he believed outright the statement saying so at the top of the movie? What would he have needed - a statement like the one that concludes Philip Roth's early 1990s novel Operation Shylock: A Confession, which ends "This confession…

The one and only time she won was the following year, as Best Actress in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.

I actually would have preferred they had stayed in the apartment the whole episode, with (eventually) the entire main cast arriving for one reason or another, plus the children.

the donor is the father of the kid Cary was prosecuting

I'm starting to think that in the last episode Louis Canning somehow convinces (with money or otherwise) everyone to join his law firm. The end. Bleh.

It's so they can pretend it's still the 1990s. (Which is not a bad choice as far as I'm concerned; in the '90s I didn't have to worry about my kids looking at their phones instead of doing their homework.)

Yeah, but they should never have made Andy the announcer as well as the sidekick (which goes back to Conan's brief Tonight Show stint; Joel the announcer on Conan's Late Night didn't travel to L.A.). Andy's voice is all wrong for the announcer role.

Also, Rick Springfield for the theme song.

Y'all forget Nick Sagan, son of Carl (Contact) Sagan?

As Resident Smartass has already noted, any real pianist either would have the thing memorized, or would have a page-turner in the unlikely event that there was no time to memorize it. Was this movie written and produced by people who have never been to an actual concert?

It may feel "plot-heavier" than other Allen movies because he had a co-writer, Douglas McGrath; other than Manhattan Murder Mystery (based on a plot strand cut from Annie Hall and thereby co-credited to Marshall Brickman), Bullets is, I'm almost certain, the only co-credited Allen screenplay of the past 35 years or so.

"He’s also on the campaign trail this season, which could have allowed the show to try to reflect the real world."

The TV series was That Was the Week That Was; the LP (recorded at the hungry i, San Francisco, in 1965) was That Was the Year That Was.

Well, I myself work for a nonprofit and earn a salary. It's not unheard of.

In the Axanar demonstration film, there was only one character from "official" Star Trek whom I could identify: Captain Garth, originally played by the late Steve Ihnat and now portrayed by a somewhat similar-looking actor of more or less the same age that Ihnat was in 1968 in "Whom Gods Destroy."

Um… the reason was that Larry Niven wrote the episode?
