    I wonder how good we are at distinguishing those Chris actors compared to distinguishing the actors in the OP.

    Haha thanks Wiki, there’s a name:

      I could only identify Chris Pratt in a line up. I struggle to differentiate between Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling. Then again, I’ve only been to the cinema 6 times in the past decade. Any celebrity news sounds like “curtains for Zoosha” to me.

        They show movies on the TV now! You don’t even need to leave your house.

          Honestly, if it’s not worth the event of going out to see it, I’m not going to be enticed by the notion of marvel shit and live action reboots on tv.

          Home movie time is for catching up with a century of good cinema e.g. we’ve recently watched Rashomon and Blade Runner.

      It says here that Chris Pratt wants people to call him CP

      I can’t believe they put CP in the Mario movie

        Heh, in a workplace that loves to make acronyms, they suspiciously kept saying one very long phrase over and over, never ever acronyming it. It would have been CUM.

          I’ve worked in a place that dealt with Federal Adjusted Gross Income a lot.

          They did acronymitize it, and would PRONOUNCE it.

      It is a running gag my group that I cannot distinguish Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
