I wish we could combine those! And have Bob Dylan murdered by a psychotic midget in Venice! Excellent!

What a totally random place to wish for Bob Dylan's death!

Just to clarify: I mean which name goes with which poster; it's not like they write the same way or anything. It's like I used to mix up the names Felt and The Fall.

Isn't the Paxton/Pullman thing kind of a cliche by now, even if true?

Yes. I was justabout to post that this has been covered by "Third Rock from the Sun". Lithgow: "One's a little beefier."

This is something every Duran fanbeing does at least once: Accidentally say "I'll cross that bridge when I find it," instead of "I'll cross that bridge when I get to it." Confusing to little girl me: Donald Regan and Ronald Reagan. Confusing to preteen me: Roger Taylor of Queen and Roger Taylor of, oh, you know. Can't think of anything else.

Juoda and syödä! They mean TO DRINK and TO EAT in Finnish but I always get them confused and thus told my teacher that I drink a lot of meat. This is the sort of thing we learn in class. Hmm.

You study Finnish? Dare I ask the reason for this?

Which of them was in Stargate and which in Donnie Darko?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 08:39 (6 years ago) Permalink

Burt Reynolds & Tom Selleck

OMG, I used to get those two mixed up as well! The thing that helps me out is knowing that Reynolds is a nobody now and Selleck is the guy who played "Magnum P.I.", as well as helped Kevin Kline's character get out of the closet in In & Out (so Selleck obv wins). OH, nearly forgot when he was Monica's older boyfriend in "Friends", too! So the '90s obv made Selleck stand out a bit more, thankfully....

And Patrick Swayze is the dude in "Donnie Darko". Kurt Russell I remember as being the guy who started out as a child actor.

I used to be confused by Dorothy Hamill and Mary Lou Retton when I was a little kid, too. Just remembered. And the names of the two families on "Charles In Charge" -- the Powells and the, gee, can't remember the other one. I used to, though, and eventually figured out the Powells were from the latter part of the series and that other family were the first ones, the one without the grandfather.
