Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

sorry still dgi

There are some things or people I don’t really don’t know the difference between, which therefore belong on this thread, such as the classic
Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton
(there’s also a Bill Putnam, but I know he is i different)
Then there are some that I currently do know the difference between, but due to some internal bit rot ( perhaps silby can explain) I might not in the future, so they belong on the other thread, such as
Janet Maslin and Janet Malcolm

Maybe others are already using this thread for both purposes but I got spooked when I saw some things I posted here as a joke and that I couldn’t actually tell the difference between anymore so I started the other one for safety’s sake

I now g but it’s a bit too speciality for me

due to some internal bit rot ( perhaps silby can explain)

If I started worrying too much about which posts are made in earnest and which for lolz I’d have to leave ILX for my own sanity

The other thread is a James Redd special, bless him, which I've never really got my head around.

All my threads can’t be classics, now, can they?

Oh wait.

They are very distinctive. This is a good thing.

Ari Aster
Robert Eggers

I saw a picture of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani together - I already mix them up, and I thought they looked like two different version of the same guy.

in the young longhaired days of course, not the current bald satriani days

This isn't the one but it basically captures it

This isn't exactly what this thread is about but it occurred to me that as a pretty big fan of autechre for 20 something years at this point:

- I know that autechre is Sean Booth and Rob Brown
- I know what Sean Booth and Rob Brown look like
- I have no idea which one is Sean Booth and which one is Rob Brown

Anna Richardson
Anna Ryder Richardson

oh yeah I thought they were one and the same person or at least that the one that is Anna Richardson was definitely the Ryder one

but only the former had a Legal dispute with Arnold Schwarzenegger

and only the latter has daughters called Dixie Dot and Bibi Belle

only the former was married to Sue Perkins - can you imagine being married to Sue Perkins?

No, because I don’t know who that is.

Lucky you.

I googled for a second, learned a bit then gave it up as not worth knowing.

Dora Carrington
Leonora Carrington

OK, now that I get that "Future Edition" is a spin-off rather than a sequel to this thread, I'll repost what I posted there:

Lauren Oyler

Ahem. The new thread was started to post things that one doesn’t mix up but might mix up in a future perhaps stressful moment because they are next to one another but currently still separate in the mind. This was to prevent *joke* posting in this thread that might later actually come true. I guess something posted in that thread could graduate to this thread. Please feel free to ignore it if it irks you.

OMG!! Love this so much. The best part is I never would have figured it out in a million years.

Been using both threads for things i already get mixed up :(

Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!
Oh! I Always Got Those Two Mixed Up: Future Edition

(Hope no one else has already made this joke.)

^Excellent!

Lee J Cobb
Rod Steiger

I think I have a real Rod Steiger problem - I am sure I posted Rod Steiger/Roy Scheider upthread

Starting Over (1979: Burt Reynolds, Jill Clayburgh, Candice Bergen), It's My Turn (1980: Jill Clayburgh, Michael Douglas, Charles Grodin), Best Friends (1982: Burt Reynolds, Goldie Hawn).

Joe McPhee
Joe Henderson

Eddie Henderson somewhat but not as much as the two Joes.

Lorde
Grimes

Robert McNamara
Donald Rumsfeld

More of a visual thing than a person, but people on my FB timeline keep posting the new album by The Bug ('Fire').

It turns out, when scrolling past it quickly, that the artwork is virtually identical to late 90s hard house banger 'Yomanda - Synth & Strings' on Manifesto.

Diadochi
Dioscuri

Paul Johnson (Get Get Down)
Paul Simpson (Musical Freedom)

Drivin N Cryin
Sniff 'n' the Tears

Dave Simpson
Dave Haslam

Lucian Freud
Francis Bacon

you couldn't get their work mixed up though: Bacon the nightmare distorted face man and Freud the pubic hair and skin specialist!

I looked at the Bacon on this week’s University Challenge and said “Freud” at my TV. Can’t explain it, it happens all the time.

I think they were acquaintances in the 40's/50's bohemian set in London
