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.

also, my grandmother once did the micro orgasm thing when reading out a crossword clue. I think the great discomfort I felt probably says more about my (secretly uptight) Freudian unconscious than her slip said of hers.

I remember Bill Paxton because he was the guy with a Secret New Wave Past and Bill Pullman because he appeared in some Sandra Bullock romantic comedy from the '90s. And Paxton has a tougher, more macho appearance to me (which makes his Secret New Wave Past all the more hilarious IMO). Pullman looks more like he comes from the North.
