Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy

I did this one several months ago, so I sat my self down and listened to a few songs from each, and decided which one I liked better. Now I can't remember which one that was (I think Snail Mail).

I know this is supposed to be based on names, so: Sandy Dennis and Sandy Duncan.

Truthfully, you wouldn't get those two mixed up. I do get Sandy Dennis and Elizabeth Hartman mixed up, though, as to the kind of actresses they are.

― clemenza, Monday, 13 December 2021 03:34 (four years ago)

This thread should have more of people you get mixed up for reasons other than their name, imo.

― Alba, Monday, 13 December 2021 03:38 (four years ago)

On that note, if you were to mix up Sandy Duncan with anyone, it would probably be Karen Valentine.

Every blasted time I read NFT, I think cinema.

Well it's the BFI Southbank nowadays, so unless someone invents block-fungible ingots you shouldn't need to worry.

― bash street tempel (Matt #2), Thursday, 23 December 2021 23:48 (four years ago)

In SoCal (and other US areas) BFI means Browning Ferris Industries, a trash collecting service.

You know the two Osmans are brothers, yeah?

― Madchen, Sunday, 26 December 2021 21:16 (four years ago)

No! That explains it then.

(McGinley is Marvin in Wall Street, the guy who works at the brokerage with Charlie Sheen.)

It doesn't happen often, but the recent Moon Knight trailer had me thinking "Oh. So he gets to be a villain in a DC and a Marvel property" for a brief second.
