Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

Neil Morrissey and David Morrissey.

Kenneth Fearing/Kenneth Anger
Roy Ward-Baker/Roy Thomas Baker/George Roy Hill

I don't get these mixed up, but watching Licensed to Kill last night I was amazed at how not only does he sound like Julian Barratt, Dalton also had very similar eyes.

Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck

kenneth tynan and kenneth anger

Kenneth Tynan and Kenneth Turan

Death Cab For Cutie
Dismemberment Plan

I mean, I realize that neither of these are trending topics anymore, but on the jimi hendrix vs nirvana thread:

I thought Geir's random comment had something to do with the Postal Service being a Seattle band or something but Postal service: Tamborello - California, Giddard - Washington. So I guess it was just one of his trademark inflammatory comments.

Seattle is in Washington as well, Moka. Gibbard is from Bremerton, which is a 55-min ferry ride away from Seattle.

I thought Drugs A. Money had the wrong Washington.

Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman.

http://www.wildsound-filmmaking-feedback-events.com/images/keira_knightley_natalie_portman.jpg even now i'm not certain looking at that.
it's really only Black Swan that's helped me seperate the 2 in my head.

also i read an article in Premiere in about 1987 once about people getting Charles Durning and Brian Dennehy mixed up and have been doing it ever since.

Wow, do they have the same surgeon or something?

Knightley was in fact the decoy Queen Amidala in The Phantom Menace.

Angry Samoans/Tragic Mulatto

Carlos Castaneda, Cornelius Castoriadis (but never confused with Cornelius Cardew, although for some reason I used to always say the wrong one out of him and Christian Marclay, even though I knew full well who each one was).

Anthony Bourdain
Andrew Zimern

The existence of Milton Friedman may be what makes me mix up the composers Milton Babbitt and Morton Feldman.

2003's "death and dismemberment tour" would have been a real shitshow for u

(i know it was for me)

Also, Broken Social Scene.

Karen Allen, Margot Kidder, Debra Winger.

Lee Marvin and James Coburn.

Jeff Bridges and Jeff Daniels.

Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton.

(And yes I know Pullman/Paxton is an oldie - just being completist about the inventory of my head.)

James Toback/James Komack
Goober/Jughead

i'll echo all on ye mad puffin's list. Weird.

CVS and CSV

due to CVS' proximity to my work and CSV's applicability to my work, they come up pretty often, and i always have to stall for a second while i figure out which is which. wish the cvs was a walgreen's tbh

farrah fawcett and that other one

Jeff Bridges and Jeff Daniels.

for many years my distinct visual memory of Tron had Jeff Daniels's face on the lead character.

Horst Buchholz and Maximilian Schell

I'm still not convinced that Jeff Daniels wasn't a co-star in Tron. I can vividly picture him in the costume with the blue face and everything.

Also at times get Jeff Bridges mixed up with Kurt Russell.

yeah

Faye dunaway, that's farrah fawcett's confusion twin in my head

otoh i always think jesse eisenberg is several different ppl but no it's just him.

Visual mix-up:

Lately, when I see a tabloid at the supermarket with Rob Pattinson on the cover, I mistake him for Pete Doherty and wonder what the fuck he's doing on a magazine.

It's kinda unfair to say this but Jesse Eisenberg has become the guy you call when Michael Cera's busy.

or that other guy i always think jesse eisenberg isn't
is there a guy on SNL that could be a physical eisenberg? was in hot rod?

You may be thinking of Andy Samberg.

I think on second thought that what I just said is prolly no longer true post-Social Network

The Bergs, Zuck-, Eisen- and Sam-:
