Worst though is when you realize her name sounds familiar if you put Penn on the end. Which was her name when she played Jenny in Forrest Gump.

Yeah, it does sound more familiar that way, and the triple play blows my mind.

Patti Smith and Patty Smith are not the same person, and I've been listening to the former for years, gently caress

I thought "well Patti Smith certainly went in a different direction in her later career, but The Warrior and Goodbye To You are some pretty good power pop tunes"

You’ve got the Y in the wrong place. It’s Patti Smyth. I think it’s pronounced differently but that may just be because of a Hold Steady song.

Warren Ellis, acclaimed comic book writer, and Warren Ellis, musician/composer who played with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, are two distinct people.

One of them linked from their blog to my website ages ago and crashed the site with all the traffic (this was in like 2004 when big bandwidth wasn't cheap as chips for a poor, no-name musician like me). Now I don't have a clue which one it was, and feel like an idiot for trumpeting this story to comic nerds and music fans alike.

I also just figured this out when I read your post.

It does sort of explain the general esthetic of Umbrella Academy I guess, though I’ve only seen the show.

Update: I did some deep digging in my emails on old hard drives, 'cause I'm furloughed and have nothing better to do. Based on an email from ten years ago, I'm pretty sure it's the comics author Ellis. I have mad respect for both of them, but goddamn do I feel awkward not knowing they weren't the same dude. I just thought he was he some sort of polymath that wrote Transmetropolitan and also hung out with Nick Cave on his off time. :shrug:

The late crime novelist Jim Thompson is not the same person as the late crime novelist Jim Thompson. The former died when the latter was thirteen years old.

Had a bit of a trip, today.

My wife and I were watching this glurge on Disney+



I noticed, out loud, that the editing of this movie is fairly bizarre. Even the opening credits are a trip.

Who, I wondered, directed this movie?



Bill Paxton? From Aliens? What else did he direct?



Ok, Frailty was a pretty ok horror movie, but what's this?

He directed the music video for Fish Heads? Seriously?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn73Wtem0No

Wow, is that him as the main guy? Let me check.



Bill Mumy? From Babylon 5 and Lost in Space?

He's one of Barnes and Barnes?! How did I not already know this?

Miguel Ferrer's best non-Twin Peaks role was in the video for this Toto song, which totally rips off Philip K Dick and has Ferrer as some poor schlub who gets his memories of his hotwife harvested as jerkoff material for some CEO rear end in a top hat
