OMG, I used to get those two mixed up as well! The thing that helps me out is knowing that Reynolds is a nobody now and Selleck is the guy who played "Magnum P.I.", as well as helped Kevin Kline's character get out of the closet in In & Out (so Selleck obv wins). OH, nearly forgot when he was Monica's older boyfriend in "Friends", too! So the '90s obv made Selleck stand out a bit more, thankfully....
And Patrick Swayze is the dude in "Donnie Darko". Kurt Russell I remember as being the guy who started out as a child actor.
I used to be confused by Dorothy Hamill and Mary Lou Retton when I was a little kid, too. Just remembered. And the names of the two families on "Charles In Charge" -- the Powells and the, gee, can't remember the other one. I used to, though, and eventually figured out the Powells were from the latter part of the series and that other family were the first ones, the one without the grandfather.

Albert Finney / Brian Cox - who don't really look that similar to me, but I often get them confused. Particularly after watching the 2nd and 3rd Bourne movies over the past two days where they played similar-ish roles.

Michael Jacksons Beat It & Billy Jean

But they're easy to tell apart: "Beat It" begins with a guitar riff and "Billy Jean" with a synth riff.
― Tuomas, Monday, 14 January 2008 11:35 (seventeen years ago)
it's not so much when i'm listening to them, it's more when i'm talking about them to someone else. Or if Beat It comes on the radio I say "oh i think this is my fave jacko tune" and then realise its not, it's billy jean.
― Ste, Monday, 14 January 2008 11:39 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, I can get that. I always mix "We Are the World" and Jacko's "Heal the World" in my head, to the extent of singing the lyrics of the latter to the tune of the former.

He was in something with Henry Ford, I think. Wait, no, that guy's not named Henry Ford... Henry... He was in the Fugitive! Harrison Ford!

You could also probably throw in Ernest Laszlo, a cinematographer who was nominated eight times for an Academy Award through the '60s and '70s (winning for Ship of Fools). Truthfully, I wasn't even aware of him till I started checking into László Kovács earlier.

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.

I keep getting Owen Jones and Owen Smith mixed up. Hardly surprising really when they have are both called Owen and have the two most common surnames in the country -- I'll just have to remember by thinking "the one with the Welsh surname isn't Welsh"
It was compounded when a friend who is also a Labour party activist announced on Facebook "Off to collect Owen Jones! Beyond nervous!" where it was quite plausible that she was actually collecting Owen Smith (apart from the fact he probably has someone to ferry him around I suppose).

From John Colville's diary:
"After lunch the PM forestalled Irving Berlin asking leading questions by himself addressing them to his potential interlocutor (e.g. "When do you think the war will end, Mr Berlin?"), this I thought was an ingenious technique. Berlin said he thought Roosevelt would get in at the coming presidential election, and in this his name should help him because in all Republican systems human nature triumphed over constitutional principle and the hereditary system came into its own. This also applied to our own Labour Party in which the wife or son of a well known MP was always in demand as a parliamentary candidate.
It later transpired that the reason Mr Berlin had bee bidden to lunch was a comic misunderstanding. There are sprightly, if somewhat over-vivid, political summaries telegraphed home every week from the Washington Embassy. The PM inquiring who wrote them, had been told by me "Mr Isaiah Berlin, Fellow of All Souls and Tutor of New College." When Irving Berlin came over to entertain the troops with his songs, the PM confused him with Isaiah and invited him to lunch - and conversed with him, to his embarrassment, as if he had been Isaiah.

I don't get the two mixed up but when I'm trying to think of Isaiah's name I always think of Irving first.

Ed Walsh/Eddie Plank/Ed Reulbach
Their careers were almost simultaneous. The first two are in the HOF; Walsh had the ridiculously low ERA, Plank 300+ wins. Reulbach's not in there, but his ERA fell between the two, and his W-L record was very similar to Walsh's.
Rube Waddell/Rube Marquard
These two are easier to sort out. They're both in the HOF, but Marquard got started just as Waddell's career was winding down. Marquard looks like a really specious HOF pick; Waddell was the better pitcher, though he did have a short career. No stories that I know of about Marquard; Waddell, according to one of the first baseball books I ever read, liked to chase trains--he was, depending upon what era was describing him, either eccentric or crazy or, according to Bill James, most likely developmentally challenged.

I was at a math workshop today, and one of the presenters looked uncannily like Jonah Hill--a few pounds lighter, hair a little shorter, otherwise a physical lookalike, and his voice and mannerisms were dead-on. Everyone at my table was in complete agreement. When we called him over to look at something related to the workshop, I had to ask if anyone had ever told him he looked like a famous actor. I expected him to groan and say, "Yeah, I know, Jonah Hill." He said yes, but not Hill: "I get Richard Gere sometimes." It wasn't meant as a joke--he was absolutely serious.
Jonah Hill and Richard Gere: I always get those two mixed up.

people starting to look like other people they didn't previously look like as they get older is interesting to me (also terrifying because it makes me worry about who I might start looking like as I get older) - I remember Greg Davies saying that he didn't look like Rik Mayall when he was younger and the resemblance only kicked in when he was in his mid-30s? Also, someone pointing out that Kevin Keegan is starting to look increasingly like Peter Lorre, which you might not have predicted when he was younger.

Kid went to a birthday party a few weeks ago, and I wound up hanging out with the dad of the house for a couple of hours.
It wasn't until a half hour into the conversation that he told me No, he wasn't from Turkey, he was from Turkmenistan. I thought he gave me a funny look when I asked how far away his village was from Istanbul.
A little while later, he was telling me how the government is corrupt and is basically ruled like a dictatorship. I said, Ha yeah, reminds me of Uzbekistan where no one's allowed to drive a black car.
And he kinda goes Heh, no, um, that's in my country, Turkmenistan.
So I guess in my mind, Turkey and Uzbekistan are the same country, home to the Portal to Hell.

the former can colloquially overlap with the latter, but is not a subset: specifically an adult male in a continuing intimate relationship with an adolescent boy. a paedophile is someone of either biological sex, physically attracted to pre-pubescents, whether or not they act on those desires.

I think both movies are good in different ways, the French one is sexier, while the Minghella one is more sociological. Plein soleil suffers from the forced "moral" ending though, which the newer one obviously doesn't have.

Indeed, when it comes to Jeff Chandler and Jeffrey Hunter, I always have to stop and ask myself which one was Jesus, and that would be Hunter - Chandler was too Jewish and looked like he'd wouldn't merely throw the money lenders out of the temple but give them a good doing in the process.

None of that stuff ever got shown over here, so he was really not well known at all in the UK. As for Fred Ward, as well as getting his name mixed up with Fred Willard, I get his face mixed up with Robert Forster (the late actor, not the guy from the Go-Betweens).

Hiddlestone and Hardy are both actors who I don't know how they don't die of embarrassment at how bad they are. Holland is pretty good at times and Huddlestone looked like a right prospect playing for Derby against us in the league cup when he was like 18 or something for Derby, not followed his career since but I'm sure he never embarrassed himself as much at Spurs as Hiddlestone did playing Hank Williams or Hardy playing Al Capone recently.

Hiddlestone and Hardy. I have to google to make sure I'm not mixing them up. Wouldn't recognize Holland. Had all but forgotten Huddlestone but sometimes have to stop and think whether Hiddleston is called Huddlestone or not. Also I keep thinking there's another acting Tom I've omitted.

― Josefa, Sunday, 20 June 2021 17:52 (three years ago)
Wrt to 1776 I think that in the American imagination the British will always be associated with the color red, because of the coats they wore at that time. It’s also why the New England Patriots changed their dominant uniform color from red to blue back in the 1990s. People thought it was incongruous that they would wear red jerseys given the historical connotations.
― Josefa, Sunday, 20 June 2021 18:04 (three years ago)
Navy blue is darker than royal blue. I associate that color with pea coats.

Marvin Barnes and Marvin Webster.
I'm halfway through Bad News: The Turbulent Life Marvin Barnes, Pro Basketball's Original Renegade. When I bought it a year or two ago, I suspect I thought I was buying a book about Marvin Webster: longer career, easy to remember because of his nickname "The Human Eraser."
Their rookie seasons were separated by only a year, both began in the ABA, and--although Webster had the nickname that celebrated his shot-making prowess--Barnes was also a proficient shot-blocker. Because of his drug addiction and other issues, Barnes was out of the NBA by 1980; Webster played until 1987.
Barnes was Philly's #2 pick in the '74 NBA draft, after Bill Walton. Denver held his ABA rights, and an agreement was reached whereby if he signed with any ABA team other than Denver, they'd get the #1 pick in the '75 draft. St. Louis signed Barnes, Denver got the consolation draft pick, and they took...Marvin Webster.
― clemenza, Friday, 29 April 2022 23:23 (three years ago)
"his shot-making prowess"--should say "shot-blocking prowess"
Denver took David Thompson in the '75 draft. They seemed to have a knack in those days for picking potential superstars who flamed out.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 29 April 2022 23:28 (three years ago)
Thompson was drafted #2 by the Squires.
https://www.prosportstransactions.com/basketball/DraftTrades/Years/1975-aba.htm
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 April 2022 01:36 (three years ago)
I guess you could say he was picked #2 because Denver had the "bonus" pick that year. Thompson in fact was the #1 pick of both Virginia (ABA) and Atlanta (NBA). He never played for either team. I was a 10-year-old kid living in Denver at the time, and I don't remember exactly how Thompson ended up signing with Denver, but it was a big deal.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 30 April 2022 01:41 (three years ago)
Yeah, it seems like a semantic issue--Wikipedia says Thompson was #1...Thompson's career was short, and I guess that's what you mean by flaming out, but he did average 22.7 PPG and shoot over 50% from the floor, and he was inducted into the HOF in 1996 (obviously his college career figured heavily into that).
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 April 2022 01:43 (three years ago)
He could legitimately have been the GOAT if not for a combination of injuries and drug use. Sadly, one of the things he is best remembered for is ending his career by being pushed down the stairs at Studio 54 and injuring his knee. That said, I remember being at a Nuggets game in the late 80s-early 90s at which he was in attendance. When his presence was announced, he got a standing ovation.

Definitely been guilty of mixing up these two Bills in the past.
For years, Pullman was in the odd position of being a household name who was forever mistaken for the late Bill Paxton, star of Apollo 13, Twister and A Simple Plan. Even now, Pullman’s Wikipedia page has a slightly impertinent note at the top: “Not to be confused with Bill Paxton.” Pullman blames the confusion on the plosives in their names, though I suspect it’s more to do with their everyman personas.

Yes. Whenever someone says "Flying Lizards" I think "monkey banana kitchen" but unfortunately that is pretty seldom what they mean, usually it's "Money" which is obv the case in this case

haha, it's really just the cover image of Fourth Wall that I also associate with Monkey Banana Kitchen (because of the similar color schemes and because I got into those 2 records right around the same time). That causes me to refer to one when I'm thinking of the other all the damn time.

And one replaced the other on the One Show. I'm convinced the BBC do this deliberately with presenters. They have a very narrow view of what an aesthetically pleasing presenter should look like and deliberately go for one who matches their predecessors much as possible. Happens with the blokes too.

Washington TimesWashington Examiner
― Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Thursday, 26 January 2023 20:41 (two years ago)
Interesting! Started as very different publications and somehow converged into the same space.
For a while I _almost_ respected the Washington Times, because it understood the assignment: a moderately right wing counterpoint to the (allegedly) left leaning Post. It kept getting weirder as the Moonie influence intensified, but no one cared. When they stopped trying to compete in the print space, it just spiraled off into the conservaspace.
The Examiner, at first, had a goal of occupying the quick-read tabloid commuter market. In print, it competed with the _Express_. (Disclosure: my beloved wife worked for the Examiner when it was still kinda legit. Then it followed the same weird trajectory into the dextrosphere and was never seen again by normal humans.)
The moral of both stories is that for the last 20 years, ad-supported print journalism was just barely sustainable outside a few legacy institutions. As long as the ostensible "left" flank was held by a duopoly (WaPo/NYT), there was no room for a center or enter-left publication. Hence, both the Times and Examiner knew where to go: the loony conservative fringe.

Iliza Schlesinger is a comic with a completely gonzo style and flawless delivery. Her wit is very sharp, and often devilishly clever.
Her tragic flaw is that she has a narrow topical range. I am slightly sad that she uses so much of her considerable talent to rehash the overdone heteronormative "men and women are different, amirite?" type of material.
In a just world, her laserlike mind and OTT satire would help us unpack issues that aren't limited to the overtrodden ground of "wtf is up with dating?"
I don't have a beef with Nicole Scherzinger, she seems harmless and occasionally charming. My son loves "The Masked Singer" inordinately. Her genial presence is among the least troubling things about it.

Kim Kimberly, there was a time not long ago when the federal body that oversees those programs went through a branding exercise. I was marginally involved in this in my capacity as a PR consultant to HHS and HCFA.
Unfortunately they decided to call it CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which infuriatingly does not align with the abbreviation at all).
They did not listen to my impassioned argument for calling it MAMA (Medicare and Medicaid Administration).
Honestly I am still a little bitter about this. It's been 20+ years. I waffle between wishing that my clients would take my advice (because I am cute and occasionally come up with a clever idea), and realizing that no one should take my advice ever (because I am a deeply flawed person and sometimes I stake my career and my reputation on pursuing a stupid pun).
― when you wish upon a tsar (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 26 April 2023 00:12 (two years ago)
I've worked in Medicaid for maybe 12 years now and although i get Medicare is federal for olds and Medicaid is state for low income, I still don't understand it. Some claims Medicare pays a portion of and Medicaid pays a portion and then there is third party insurance (which makes no sense because you can't get Medicaid over 65 - or whatever it is now - and visa versa) and it's just like FFS universal healthcare, please.

Leee, you appear to be omitting William Gaddis. William Gass / William Gaddis conflation was already an in-joke in 1992 (when Gass playfully poked fun at the conflation).
I can see why; they were operating in similar literary spaces.
Not true of Stegner (a Western voice) or Styron (a Southern voice, almost as Southern as Faulkner).
To be honest I spent so much time with these guys... I kinda wish I had been doing something else. Like, almost anything else.
Pointless anecdote: On my last day of college I happened to get into an an elevator with my favorite professor. I told him about what I was interested in doing for graduate school. He said, "That's a very crowded field. You should be doing Anglo-Saxon."
― Hereward the Woke (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 23 September 2023 15:19 (one year ago)
As a westerner, I find Stegner to be one of the west's most authentic voices.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 23 September 2023 16:44 (one year ago)
Jimbeaux, do you have Cormac McCarthy ist opinions?
― Hereward the Woke (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 23 September 2023 16:45 (one year ago)
I loved Suttree (which is of course much more Southern than Western), liked All the Pretty Horses, and couldn't make it through The Crossing. That is the extent of my encounters with McCarthy. My brother (who gave me the Border Trilogy) adores him.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 23 September 2023 16:47 (one year ago)
Suttree stays in my mind almost constantly, but yeah you are right. It's a Southern novel.
Personally I was born in Missouri and live in Virginia so can really only understand Midwestern, Southern, and Eastern vibes. The American West is a mystery to me so Stegner is not really on my radar screen.

I still remember being on an Air France flight when the pilot told us what the temperature would be upon arrival and some Frenchman in the cabin repeated it in some kind of sarcastic ironic tone, “douze dégrés!” I puzzled and still puzzle over what was amusing to him about that: the way the pilot said it, that particular temperature, the metric system itself?

For me it's Styx and Foreigner.
Add one more pairing - Rush and Yes - and you have a quadruvium of AOR that seemed interesting at the time but has aged badly. Add REO Speedwagon and Chicago, it's a sextet of boring.
I hate Supertramp but I am not in danger of confusing them with anyone else. I firmly believe that tenor voices and falsetto were in vogue in the 70s because they worked on the radio and could cut through chunky guitars (cf. Robert Plant and his many spiritual descendents).
I am also working on a companion theory that lower male voices coming into the culture (cf. Crash Test Dummies and the late-career resurgence of Johnny Cash) were partly a result of better audio technology.

― peace, man, Monday, 29 January 2024 13:12 (one year ago)
I do not have the energy for an exhaustive study but one could look at male vocal ranges vs. chart positions there may well be a trend.
Bon Scott, Steve Perry-era Journey. Look at Paul Simon solo vs. Simon & Garfunkel. I believe better studio tech (and the parallel development of better home sound systems at home) may have allowed Simon to function effectively alone, and he needed Art less and less.
This is probably not the thread for it though

Tim WallachLarry Parrish
For the third or fourth time today, I guessed the wrong guy on Immaculate Grid. For their careers:
Parrish - 256 HR, 992 RBI, .263/.318/.439Wallach - 260, HR, 1125 RBI, .257/.316/.416
Both were third baseman, both had their best years for the Expos--around '81 or '82, Wallach took over from Parrish. For the purposes of the game, 1) Parrish had a 30-HR season but Wallach didn't (28); 2) Wallach had a 100-RBI season but Parrish didn't.

Also by Capra, and also from 1939! That may actually have made the problem worse until now that I'm consciously aware of it; a kind of feeling that the other film than the one I'm thinking of has somehow shapeshifted or something. Thanks for pinning that one down.

I was convinced that one of these bands was an Amelia Fletcher project and the other was known for a disastrous concert (some kind of collapse?) that claimed the lives of multiple audience members. I just wasn't sure which was which. but it turns out the disaster I had in mind was actually a suicide at a Swell Season show, and my brane had muddled up the details. pretty perplexing!

It's a shame because some of Deodato's music is legitimately good, but in my mind I just dismissed it as novelty rubbish:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUe4SJlMO6c

ManaMannaMammon
(plus gammon along with mammon)
(What does backgammon have to do with ham? One might think that in both cases the root is "game," in two different senses. But gammon and ham come from the French for leg. Game, as in board game, is Germanic.)

"It's not as if these come up every day but this whole constellation of names is confusing:

And of course
ConAm (evil megacorporation in Outland
Convair was one of those huge conglomerates that made all kinds of things. It made a pair of airliners, a supersonic bomber, a turboprop flying boat, the Atlas space rocket, a bunch of algorithms, and a two-megaton anti-bomber missile called the Sky Scorcher, that was presumably designed to destroy entire Soviet bomber formations plus Soviet spies on the ground who might be guiding the bombers and also all birds.
The weird thing is that it did all this while being part of General Dynamics, which was also one of those huge conglomerates that made all kinds of things. So it was a giant spider living in the belly of an even large spider. Imagine if General Dynamics had grown until it ran the entire world. Or if it made a deal with other huge megacorporations to rule the world. And people had to transport data inside their heads and everybody wore sunglasses all the time and had skull guns. How awesome that would be.
― Ashley Pomeroy, Saturday, 1 February 2025 19:28 (three months ago)
I really hope that scenario doesn’t come to pass. For the younger generation especially.
It’s interesting that Convair’s passenger jets were only widely popular for a few years. Don’t think I’ve ever flown in one. They were supposedly faster than the jets before them.

The other prefixes I never confuse - things haven't been measured in kilobytes much this century, and terabytes are still new and the numbers measured in them still low. But whenever I need to specify the size of a memory chip or USB drive or iPhone capacity I always have to think for a moment whether its in MB or GB.

It’s been so long since Joanna Newsom put out music (or that I’ve engaged with her music) that I saw a photo of her with Andy Samberg and suddenly realized that in my mind she’d just transitioned into being Carla Gugino

And then one spends additional cycles on separate Levi from Krasinski and that's already more head space than Levi deserves.
Like how it used to be a thing in simpler times to play on Andy Samberg - Mark Zuckerberg - Jesse Eisenberg; now it would offend with its triviality

Interesting. While they overlap in time I have them in totally different spaces.
Bed Bath & Beyond was not in competition with Bath & Body Works - the latter was a mall phenomenon of the 90s and the former a big-box phenomenon of the 00s. Put crudely, one is associated with girlfriends and the other with wives.
Now Bed Bath & Beyond WAS in competition with Linens 'n Things.
My family nicknames for them were Bed Bath & Behemoth and Linens 'n Shit.
Alternatively Bloodbath and Beyond.
