I'm cool with Alan Alda! Every other A-- A-- name makes my brain hurt, though.

confusing chris rock with chris tucker seems slightly less dumb than confusing bills paxton and pullman

i think just the opposite.

John Fante and John Fahey

The Redd And The Blecch (Ken L), Thursday, 25 January 2007 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i think just the opposite.

because Paxton and Pullman are both kinda 'forgettable' as actors?

vita susicivus (blueski), Thursday, 25 January 2007 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

i guess, i only vaguely recall either and i wouldn't know either if they standing next to me. i think i know which one paxton is but i may be mistaking him for pullman. was one of them the president in men in black?

It's hard for me to confuse Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman because I keep forgetting Bill Paxton exists.

I basically think of Bill Paxton as Coconut Pete in everything he's in now, whereas I think of Bill Pullman as Lone Star (which made Lost Highway freaking AWESOME).

i remember in 6 grade science class some kid was reading aloud from a text about amoeba and kept using the phrase "micro orgasm" in a bit of freudian fun.
