On my TV that is -- specifically on the ballstreams app

Whenever I hear "Mark Ronson" I momentarily think "Mick Ronson" -- which is usually hilarious

Same thing as the previous post (which gives me a chance to say how gruesome "Uptown Funk" is). Weird one: every time I watch Heat, I initially think Ted Levine--who I know is in the film--is the Waingro character. But Waingro is played by Kevin Gage; Levine's character, Detective Bosko, doesn't show up until after the opening robbery.

Anthony Bourdain and Guy Bourdain.

That momentary excitement when I think someone wants to talk about Buster Keaton.

Schwartzman was on WTF in mid-January and Maron suggested that he start a band with Goldberg.

I once saw Mildred Pierce and Double Indemnity a few weeks apart, and I was convinced that Joan Crawford's husband (Bruce Bennett) and Fred MacMurray's boss (Richard Gaines) were played by the same actor.

I checked, and they were only born two years apart.

hurling (sport) and curling (sport)

I keep thinking hurling is the one with the broom. I'll have to come up with a mnemonic to get these straight.
