I'm imagining scallions all flopping around fucking on the beach?

Barre Phillips
Barry Guy

I'd never heard of Bobi Wine before today but now plan to confuse him with Toni Wine

The philadelphia story
The philadelphia experiment

I was just saying this yesterday!

Mick Ronson
Mick Karn

Murray Head
Anthony Head

Although I looked them up and it turns out they're brothers. Still, I always just considered them as one composite being.

important good art itt

The Four Tops
The Spinners

Thank goodness there wasn't another r&b combo from that era called The Dervishes or something.

I get all of those old vocal groups mixed up - I usually recognise Platters songs as my dad played them a lot.

the thin red line
the thin blue line

The Spinners
The Weavers

who are in an entirely different genre but I still can never remember which is which

... aren't they in the same genre? There's another one:

The Peddlers

... a mystery of a band, nobody has ever listened to them since ca. 1972.

i used to have that with

the seekers
the searchers

and still have that problem sometimes with

the new lost city ramblers
the new christy minstrels

... aren't they in the same genre?

I meant The Detroit Spinners, who were called that in the UK to differentiate them from the folky Spinners. At least I think I meant them. I'm just confusing myself further with all this, I give up.

Midsommar
Midsomer Murders

Thank You for Smoking
I Love You Phillip Morris

Velvet Buzzsaw (movie)

Brian Dennehy and Charles Durning

Brian Dennehy / every actor that looks like Brian Dennehy

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.

Just one more round, indulge me.

As posted on RIP thread:
Arnold Stang/Danny Goldman

Ha! I remember writing Dennehy in here but couldn't remember who I mixed him up with.

All I could think of was Charles Grodin, but thought that couldn't be right. (Too lazy to "show all" and search.)

Dennehy / Brian Cox (not that one)

Nora Ephron
Nora Roberts

Lynne Truss
Liz Truss

Brian Stableford
Brian Evenson

Beatrice Dillon
Beatrice Dalle

Cate Blanchett
Kate Winslet

Have never knowingly seen either in a movie tbf, just remember when both were peak famous at around the same time

That's impressive, they've both been in a ton of films.

gwen mcrae
gwen guthrie

Jeff Chandler
Jeffey Hunter

... not very similar but both called Jeff and both died young.

... Jeffrey Hunter, of course.

unexpectedly sad when i discovered a couple of weeks ago gwen guthrie was no longer with us

(she died in 1999 so i've had ample time to discover this)

There's also Gwen Dickey, to add to the confusion.
