Just finished a big rewatch of Breaking Bad and then El Camino recently and noticed this in El Camino: Todd made a custom snow globe of him and Lydia:  And then only after looking for that image online did I also find out they made a TY video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5hU56vJewo

No really 'subtle', but I've been watching The Expanse and it has one of my favourite little background interactions/gags. https://youtu.be/8OpBaxiDWrg Bobbie just going goblin mode on the hors d'oeuvres while Tense Political poo poo is happening in the foreground is frankly delightful.

there's a scene in the martian where matt damon is super hungry and has a long beard, the subtle part is leonardo dicaprio does a cameo for that scene for comparison, this is from the revenant:

I remember the thread for this way back when was FULL of posters who had this problem. It was peak goon face-blindness. Straight up people who didn't even know they were two different characters.

I had a similar issue with American Assassin. Basically it's this guy: going up against this guy:  They don't really look identical, but still close enough to really just sort of blur together into a generic dark haired bestubbled protagonist blob that becomes difficult to tell apart when they're not standing next toe each other. Doubly so since both their costumes trended towards the same kind of dark, nondescript clothing.

I got around to watching Alice in Borderland and I like how it makes fun of the usual types of ending twists by having a primary villain claim it's all of them but be lying to mess with the main character for fun. I also didn't mind the ending that it went with, that it was a shared near-death experience that hundreds of people had in the last minute of their lives after a meteor flattened that part of tokyo, and that while they forgot the events, they at least remembered knowing each other, and the lessons that they learned so will go forth to recreate those connections for real, and become better versions of themselves.

BiggerBoat posted:Holy poo poo my mom said the same thing that was the joke i was making yea. apparently your parents are classic goons. i never realized they could look similar until i saw the above scene from idk catch me if you can. so there's a tip: leo likes to get long haired and cough deeply in pretty much all his movies, but matt damon only does in one movie (rounders) also extra pro tip: i always ask my sidepartners in the cinema "is this the same guy?" regardless of face or body or clothes or hair, its how you can tell im not racist Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 14:13 on Feb 11, 2023 |

It never occurred to me that Matt Daemon and Leo DiCaprio look alike. Which I think makes sense since they don't.

Honestly they don't usually but for some reason in that film they do happen to look more like each other than usual.   Like imagine these two guys dressed similar and running around shooting each other.

Yeah Leo went a bit darker with his hair for The Departed, but I think that's why they made Matt Damon constantly be super clean-shaven and Leo a bit stubbly

I already got burned years ago by someone asking a specific question about nuclear bombardment in a way that I already knew how the operation went once they started setting it up. Or I could just watch things as they are released like we all used to...

I can completely and totally tell the difference and have never been confused but maybe that's because I'm a white guy with short brown hair who's probably the same height.

Carl Weathers and Billy Dee Williams don't look all that similar, but they got confused for each other so often (because of racism) that they made a terrible movie where that was a plot point They don't even look alike on the poster

Just take my tactic - know that it has a poor reception, but make your own judgement. There may be bits you like, there may not be, but either way, it's a bit of an adventure.

Similarly, in Travellers, timetravellers are coming back from an unspecifiedly terrible future, and although its never actually discussed, the food there is terrible and everyone goes wild for 21st Century food. There's one amazingly traumatic episode that's kind of a groundhog day thing with a string of travellers all attempting to redo the same 17 minutes to get the desired outcome before dying horribly, and every single of them finds a ham sandwich on the seat of a car and absolutely goes to town on it.

I've always thought Michael Cera looked a lot like Jesse Eisenberg. Also, I always though that guy who played Ross on Friends looks a lot like Dylan McDermott. Also had this weird association with Chuck Norris / Don Johnson, Aaron Eckhart / Thomas Jane...
