Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

Alan Parsons
Alan partridge

Tate Donovan
Martin Donovan

Sid Caesar
Cesar Romero

Maui Jim and Panama Jack

Robert McCammon, Michael McDowell, David Morrell (horror novelists)
Nezval and Nerval (writers)

I somehow get William Sloane and John Blackburn mixed up because some of their book titles have a similar feel.

Dino Buzzati and Guido Buzzelli

Writer John Blackburn and director Richard Blackburn

Used to mix up Judy Collins and Shirley Collins

H Rider Haggard, R Chetwynd Hayes, H Russell Wakefield

Porn/glamour models are the worst for this. There are several women called Suzy Q and Brooklyn Jade.

bellinis / blinis

lands' end and l.l. bean

Judy Greer & Kathryn Hahn

Land's End and Cotton Traders (parental favourites both).

Dwight Garner
Dwight Macdonald

This year, every time I see them as small icons on my screen

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.

Until 2 minutes ago, I thought that Jeff Lynne was famous for, in reverse chronological order, producing The Beatles' Anthology singles in the 1990s, being part of the Traveling Wilburys in the 1980s, and in the 1970s recording a musical version of War of the Worlds.

Still getting mixed up. I thought that the War of the Worlds guy got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He certainly deserves one.

Ben E King and Percy Sledge. And to make matters worse, they've gone and died within a couple of weeks of each other!

:(

I may struggle with telling Hailee Steinfeld from Shailene Woodley, Dermot Mulroney from Dylan McDermot, and possibly Djimon Honsou from Chiwetel Ejiofor.

But I don't have trouble telling Ben E King from Percy Sledge. I could better understand Ben E. King being conflated with Sam Cooke, or Percy Sledge being conflated with Otis Redding.

Conflatable: Joey Lauren Adams / Renee Zellweger.

Conflatable: James Coburn / Lee Marvin.

Somewhat conflatable: Lorrie Moore / Ann Beattie.

Somewhat conflatable: Karen Allen / Margot Kidder / Debra Winger.

Jeff Kober is the poor man's Nick Nolte.

Do NOT get me started on Bob Hoskins/Phil Collins.

Do you really get them mixed up or do you think they just look very much alike each other.

Ben E King and Percy Sledge had re-issued singles in the charts at more or less the same in 1987. Stand By Me got to number 1 and When A Man Loves a Woman to number 2. So the confusion has been there since I was 12.

RIchard Deacon/Roger Bowen

Good one.

Thanks.

Richard Schaal/Richard Stahl

Bernie Sanders/Barney Frank

Florence and the Machine
St. Vincent

John Lackey and Jon Lester.

Ohio Express and Ohio Players, but usually just for a few seconds.

Would make a great oldies double bill.
