Mixing up Dennis Quaid and Harrison Ford? Shame.

Posted by: cleverpeach at April 20, 2010 3:04 PM

Sorry, I got to the Weisz/Bellucci face-off and promptly lost a lot of brain blood.

Posted by: admin at April 20, 2010 3:06 PM

cleverpeach -- It wasn't mixing it up so much as I found that image and used it rather than create one from scratch.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at April 20, 2010 3:07 PM

Soooo, in gens, the "poor man" iteration is on the right? Cause I don't know if I can back that Bellucci play.

Posted by: coveredinbees at April 20, 2010 3:08 PM

However cleverpeach, you can't convince me that Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan aren't the same person.

Posted by: Dangerous Dave at April 20, 2010 3:08 PM

wait, are those seriously two different photos of Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan? Doppelgangers indeed.

Also, too right about Matt Damon and Marky Mark; the Mister likes "Shooter" but calls it "Poor Man's Bourne" every time it's on TNT.

Posted by: Stella at April 20, 2010 3:09 PM

If Belluci is the Poor Man's Weisz...i don't see too much of a downturn in quality...sooooooo...

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY REFRIGERATOR BOX?!

Posted by: PissBoy at April 20, 2010 3:10 PM

Rowles...lazt fucker. You could at least have put it into MS Paint and flipped it horizontally.

Damn grammas and granpas and their lack of fancy thinkin' box skills.

Go update your Spacebook-Facepage so it reads "Does not technology well."

Posted by: PissBoy at April 20, 2010 3:12 PM

Sadly Angelina's become the poor man's Angelina.

Rachel Weisz vs. Monica Belluci

You saved the good shit to spark up with today, didn't ya?

Posted by: Jay at April 20, 2010 3:12 PM

i agree with all but mark wahlberg. he may be a matt damon incarnation but he's not for the poor man

Posted by: chiefly at April 20, 2010 3:12 PM

Dustin- Just teasing!
Dangerous Dave- Jesus, I know. I probably spent five minutes trying to see any differences between them, any at all.

Posted by: cleverpeach at April 20, 2010 3:13 PM

Um, Heathcliff has been around a lot longer than Garfield, thank you very much. Also, had a WAY better animated series. SO I really hope that you are saying that Garfield is the poor man's Heathcliff there.

Also, I got to Catherine O'Hara and Joan Cusack and went, "Awww, no wa... no, that's actually a pretty fair assessment," which made me sad. Most of these are pretty right on, I'd say.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at April 20, 2010 3:14 PM

How is it possible that the Paxton-Pullman didn't make this list? GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!

Posted by: fourtyjr at April 20, 2010 3:14 PM

Also, "[Heathcliff] is not predisposed towards apologizing for the endless situations he finds himself in the cartoon."

Thanks, Wikipedia!

Posted by: D-Day at April 20, 2010 3:17 PM

Stella,
"Shooter" is the worst movie ever. The screenplay was written by a slow 8 year old with a faulty google account and a tenuous grasp on realistic human interaction. It's true so you needn't look it up. Facts can be elusive and sometimes you just have to trust the messenger. In summation: Eight year olds, dude.

Posted by: Kballs at April 20, 2010 3:17 PM

Noooo. Not again. I was 30 days clean of Monica Bellucci and now you paired her up with Rachel "I look fucking hot in PVC" Weisz. Its going to be a long night. Thanks. Thanks allot.

Posted by: bob at April 20, 2010 3:18 PM

Anybody else remember Heathcliff's theme song...

"Heathclif, Heathcliff, no one should terrify the neighborhood. But Heathcliff just won't be undone, playing pranks on everyone...

Something something be on top, something something something else..."

yeah...great song.

Posted by: PissBoy at April 20, 2010 3:18 PM

Jason Lee and John Boyd (Arlo from 24)

Posted by: Keith C. at April 20, 2010 3:19 PM

And where did Emile Hirsch vs. Jesse Eisenberg come from? That one is the most out of place for me.

Posted by: D-Day at April 20, 2010 3:20 PM

I want to be that thin white line in between Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem. Kneeling, somewhere...in between them. Excuse me.

Posted by: Julie at April 20, 2010 3:21 PM

Brian Cox is nobody's stand-in!

On a totally unrelated note, my AP English teacher managed to get who I thought was Brian Cox to come to our class and talk about some dumb play he was doing in Providence (I can't remember which one). Turns out it was actually Brain Dennehy, the poor man's everyone, and I was disappointed. But then I'm 90% sure he ended up banging my teacher, and I was no longer disappointed.

Posted by: Marra at April 20, 2010 3:24 PM

Oh Monica Belluci...just ask me woman. I'm yours.

Posted by: Nadine at April 20, 2010 3:25 PM

That's okay Julie, apparently there's a mob between Rachel Weisz and Monica Bellucci.

Posted by: mrcreosote at April 20, 2010 3:25 PM

You should realize he can win it with YOU!

What the hell does that mean?

Posted by: Jay at April 20, 2010 3:25 PM

Turns out it was actually Brain Dennehy, the poor man's everyone

That made me laugh SO HARD.

Posted by: Julie at April 20, 2010 3:25 PM

I'd jump into that fray, Mr. Creosote, but I'm too busy learning how to juggle.

Posted by: Julie at April 20, 2010 3:26 PM

...and in came a heroin-crazed Brian Dennehy, who proceeded to punch me in the solar plexus. I ejaculated my central nervous system, and she lit up like a pinball machine at Binyons.

SUCK MY KNOB, POLICE WOMAN!

Posted by: Jay at April 20, 2010 3:28 PM

sorry D-Day, it won't wash off.

you have to wear it off.

Posted by: D-Day at April 20, 2010 3:29 PM

I'll take Breckin Meyer over Mark "dull as dishwater" Fuerstein any day.

I don't know if it's the comparisons, but some of these pics are creepy. Why do Jeff Daniels' eyes look like pinholes? And that looks like Brian Cox's mugshot.

Posted by: Brie at April 20, 2010 3:30 PM

I've always known Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan looked _alot_ alike, but seeing them together like that... I mean, I keep staring at the pictures and I've gone from, "Hot!" to "Do me," to "Are they brothers?" to "Wait. Have I ever seen them in the same room?" to "Wait, why haven't I seen them in my bedroom," to "Oh my God, why do I know that the only difference between the two of them is the placement of a little puffiness (eyes for Javier and chin for Jeffery)" to sobbing from total confusion.

I think this comes from the fact that as a very small baby (months old, apparently) my paternal grandparents watched me when my parents went on dates sometimes. Apparently I cried when my grandmother held me (I knew to distrust Irish Gingers from the beginning), but when my grandfather held me, I laughed and cooed and played. That night when my parents got home and I saw my father and grandfather in the same room apparently I got all bug-eyed and kept looking back and forth between the two. This confused the hell out of my little baby brain since I thought that my grandfather was my father.

Basically, I think I have a subconscious fear of always being conned by a doppleganger. Fuck you, movie {SPOILER OF A FLICK FOUR YEARS OLD} The Illusionist.

Thanks for the therapy, suckers.

Oh and is Monica Belluci really a pour mans Wiesz? I feel like they're both insanely attractive, but different enough.

And I'd like to respectfully submit Rachel Bilson as the poor mans Mila Kunis. Those too would have that Home Alone kid seeing double.

Posted by: Kayanne at April 20, 2010 3:31 PM

Brian Dennehy telling Patton Oswalt that, as character actors, no one cared if they were fat prompted this Oswaltian gem: "Sprinkle fries on my cupcakes." And, for that, I will always love the Dennehy. Suck it, haters.

Posted by: coveredinbees at April 20, 2010 3:32 PM

And I'd like to respectfully submit Rachel Bilson as the poor mans Mila Kunis.

As Richard Harris told Harrison Ford, I'm sayin this til I'm blue in the face! Seven years on I still think it's true.

Posted by: Jay at April 20, 2010 3:34 PM

Can we get a Josh Duhamel being the poor man's Timothy Olyphant? Anyone? No. Okay.

Posted by: michaelceratops at April 20, 2010 3:35 PM

I loved/shuddered at this post. Creepy doppelgangers abound! I would only add this -- River Phoenix vs Emile Hirsch. Back me up on this, people.

Posted by: melia at April 20, 2010 3:38 PM

There are only 5 out of the 20 that I would say one of the pair qualifies as a rich man's version. There isn't a gnat's scrot hair's worth of difference between the rest of the sets.

Posted by: EricD at April 20, 2010 3:39 PM

If by "poor man," you mean "heart-stoppingly sexy," then yeah I agree about that Belluci/Weisz statement.

Posted by: Aislinn at April 20, 2010 3:42 PM

D-Day & michaelceratops Oh em gee, yes. Both those sets are so crazy close, it's crazy.

But there are key differences,

Timothy Olyphant v. Josh Duhamel. Timothy looks amaazing with salt and pepper hair and is not banging Fergie.

Wentworth Miller v. Channing Tatum. Wentworth has a 1-800 number you can call to settle your annuities and Tatum is a potato (not even the fancy russet kind).

So remember,
Miller : Annuities :: Tatum : Potato Salad
Duhamel: Fergie :: Olyphant : His assuredly lovely wife who doesn't piddle herself

Posted by: Kayanne at April 20, 2010 3:44 PM

Wait, what? Monica Belluci is the poor-man's Rachel Weisz? No. No way.

Posted by: stardust at April 20, 2010 3:45 PM

Breckin Meyer vs. Mark Fuerstein

I'd say instead

Breckin Meyer vs. Seth Green

Posted by: mswas at April 20, 2010 3:47 PM

As much as I dislike Dan Fogler and think he's a pretty hacky actor, he is the award winning thespian in that sparring match and far as I know, a Tony Award win has more clout than an MTV Movie Award.

Though, perhaps I should take that back, as Fogler lucked into a win for one of the hackiest performances to ever hoof on a Broadway stage by someone under the age of geriatric. Woof. If there was one thing I could change in the original Broadway production of ...Spelling Bee, it would be casting someone who understood character development entailed more than putting on a silly voice and an ill-fitting white shirt. Yuck.

Jack Black did star in some of the worst comedy films of the past decade. Then again, Dan Fogler starred in Balls of Fury.

I see your point. I retract my objection.

Posted by: Robert at April 20, 2010 3:52 PM

Kayanne, between yesterday and today I'm totally in love with you.

Boo Wentworth Miller + Boo Charming Potato.

Yay Timothy Olyphant (in my pants now, bitch!) and Josh Duhamel WTF are you blind, deaf and dumb you married Fergie Ferg whaaat?!

Also PS Rachel VS. Monica? Wot the hell? Should be Rachel AND Monica. Rachel and Monica and Christina Hendricks are each goddess queens of their own lands and poor men need not apply.

Posted by: MM at April 20, 2010 3:52 PM

Taryn Manning looks like that girl at every party who's dancing topless by herself way too early in the evening and wakes up either face down in a puddle of her own vomit or face up under a total stranger.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at April 20, 2010 3:57 PM

Wow, that has to be the first picture where I've thought Megan Fox looked even remotely attractive.

I know, whatever, cue the "you're just jealous" routine that girls always get for critiquing another girl, but seriously. I'm sure she has a great body, but there are an assmillion great bodies in Hollywood, so I just don't consider that an achievement at all. Facially, I don't think I've ever found her attractive before that picture.

Posted by: Nat Kittyface at April 20, 2010 3:58 PM

Why does Michael Keaton look like he's going to eat me?

Posted by: Melody at April 20, 2010 4:07 PM

You're out of your skull, AvB. Garfield rulez!

You *would* think that, young child. *sigh* You kids today and your lasagna-eating, lazy layabout orange cats! Heathcliff was a REAL cat, my friend. He would shred Garfield in 10 seconds flat and send him home missing patches of fur and half an ear.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at April 20, 2010 4:08 PM

Christina Hendricks' right boob vs. Christina Hendricks' left boob, because each boob is bigger than the other actor's heads.

Posted by: BWeaves at April 20, 2010 4:18 PM

Dude, some of these are freaky. I'm now completely convinced that Bardem and JDM are twins.

Posted by: figgy at April 20, 2010 4:20 PM

Somehow, I think I knew this but, MM, you're a lady?

This changes my fantasies. But only slightly.

Only slightly.

Haha, just now realizing that in my comment I put "pour" man and "so crazy close, it's crazy." Ha, I'm a dumb ass.

Posted by: Kayanne at April 20, 2010 4:23 PM

This... is really, really well done. Only a few that I take exception to (Damon/Wahlberg and Martin/Keaton didn't work for me).

Otherwise, it's scary how true this list is.

Posted by: Yossarian at April 20, 2010 4:23 PM

Sadly, Luke Wilson doesn't look so much like that anymore. He's got a bit of the bloat going on.

Is Michael Keaton wearing pale pink lipstick?

Jeff Daniels looks like a homeless man who was riding in a convertible.

Also, there's no way to convince me that Javier Bardem and Jeffery Dean Morgan are not the same person. Especially based on the photos. If they're in the same place at the same time, does some sort of rip in the space/time continuum occur?

Posted by: Jeni at April 20, 2010 4:24 PM

I want to be in the middle of a Javier Bardem/JDM sandwhich.

Posted by: Watson at April 20, 2010 4:27 PM

In the calculus of unfavorable comparisons between actors, the disparaging "the poor man's" is the derivative, and the flattering "the thinking man's" is the integral.

Posted by: laredo at April 20, 2010 4:27 PM

Not that they're each other's "poor man's...", but I do always get Jim Broadbent and Tom Wilkinson confused. Sometimes Albert Finney gets in there, too. Maybe it's just that they're all British and awesome.

Posted by: figgy at April 20, 2010 4:29 PM

Clear consensus on the Weixckxz vs. Bellucci bullshit. Monica Bellucci is no poor man's nothin', except fantasy. We've all seen Malena, right?

Posted by: Brenton at April 20, 2010 4:29 PM

the flattering "the thinking man's" is the integral.

It does sound more refined when you say things like "Hayden Christensen is the thinking man's bag of rocks at the furthest depth of the ocean."

Posted by: D-Day at April 20, 2010 4:32 PM

Jake Gyllenhaal v. Sean Maher.

This almost made me choke on my gum. Bravo, sir, bravo.

BUT WAIT!

We've forgotten the original poor man's man debate:
Paxton v. Pullman

WHO YA GOT?

Posted by: Kayanne at April 20, 2010 4:36 PM

What about Jack Nicholson v. Christian Slater?

Posted by: Nicole Campbell at April 20, 2010 4:37 PM

Bradley Cooper and Dromaius novaehollandiae, the common emu.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at April 20, 2010 4:38 PM

Sam Worthington VS Gerard Butler. ROUND 1, FIGHT!

And I gotta throw my hat in too and declare the Rachel Weisz/Monica Belluci combo to be a win win. Both are great actresses(seriously, look up some of Belluci's European films, girl's got acting chops) who are mind-blowingly hot, and both have had their share of blockbuster mindless fare(Constantine and The Mummy for Weisz, Shoot 'Em Up and The Matrix for Belluci). But I say they're both actually pretty damn awesome. It's unfair to say one of them is a lesser version of the other.

Posted by: Danny from Puerto Rico at April 20, 2010 4:38 PM

Nothing common about me, bub.

Posted by: emu at April 20, 2010 4:40 PM

Oh, Rachel Weisz/Monica Belluci. Why are you two so gaawwjuss?

Some on the top of my head: Heath Ledger/Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel/Katy Perry (but Zooey beats Katy by miles), Demi Moore/Courtney Cox.

When I was little, I used to confuse Jeff Bridges and Jeff Daniels because of their names, and Jeff Daniels and Dave Coulier 'cause of their looks. But now, I can tell who's the weakest of that bunch.

Posted by: Katie (KP) at April 20, 2010 4:42 PM

Steve Martin and Micheal Keaton? Huh? No...doesn't work. Steve Martin and Kevin Kline. Even their voices are the same.

Posted by: A-Dub at April 20, 2010 4:49 PM

I'm joining the Weisz/Belluci outrage. And I will stop at that because I will now proceed to drool over both of them. So...carry on, I'm busy.

Posted by: joker at April 20, 2010 4:53 PM

I always thought Emile Hirsch was like a poor man's DiCaprio or maybe Fred Savage.

Posted by: bubblegumshoe at April 20, 2010 5:16 PM

Rhyme now you've got me thinking of who would win in an odd farm animal face off.

Bradley "Emu" Cooper or Taylor "Llama" Lautner

Posted by: Kayanne at April 20, 2010 5:17 PM

Amy Adams vs. Isla Fisher.

Posted by: Rubble44 at April 20, 2010 5:41 PM

In women its very common.

Keira Knightley / Kate Bosworth / Malin Ã…kerman

katy perry / Zooey Deschanel

Jenifer Love Hewitt / Eva Lonoria

Hillary Duff / Rashida Jones

Posted by: Dudee at April 20, 2010 5:45 PM

Kayanne, I'm a lady. An old lady. Sad but true.

This doesn't stop me from slavering over Rachel Weisz, Monica Bellucci, and Christina Hendricks. Seriously, I think those are three of the most gorgeous women in the movies (and the TVs) today. And everybody loves chi-chis. Men, women, gay men, babies...

Posted by: MM at April 20, 2010 5:48 PM

JDM and JB don't even get the same kinds of roles, so it's hard to compare them in that sense as actors. They do LOOK a lot alike.

BTW, this idea is begging for a comment diversion.

Posted by: ChristianH at April 20, 2010 5:49 PM

Oh, and the Martin/Keaton thing doesn't make sense to me. I think I get where you're aiming, but it's a tough sell, seeing as Keaton really doesn't have a career anymore.

Posted by: ChristianH at April 20, 2010 5:59 PM

Amy Adams vs. Isla Fisher.

Now you're talkin

Posted by: Jay at April 20, 2010 6:06 PM

I'm with Julie and the rest! I'll be the filling in that JB/JDM Oreo cookie any day/night/whatever.

Posted by: the*redhead at April 20, 2010 6:21 PM

OK, I positively hate myself for succumbing to my inner PC-unfriendly demons but this Bellucci episode finally made me write out loud the first thought that comes to my mind after reading most of Dustin's posts: how is this guy straight is beyond me. Anyway, I'd love to see that poor Monica-banging dude. Somehow I'm sure he ain't bitching about the economy...

Posted by: lionel bitchie at April 20, 2010 6:23 PM

Amy Adams / Isla Fisher, though: pure flash of brilliance. Never saw it before, can't un-see it now.

Posted by: lionel bitchie at April 20, 2010 6:25 PM

I have no problem stating that I love Mark Fuerstein, so I'll admit that I'm biased, but I cannot believe that you'd compare him to Brekin Meyer. Seriously?

The Meyer/ Seth Green comparison suggested above is much more apropos.

Posted by: SCannakate at April 20, 2010 6:31 PM

And obviously, Adams wins.

Posted by: Jay at April 20, 2010 7:19 PM

Steve Martin (2.0) vs. Michael Keaton (2.0)

???

That doesn't make any sense.

Posted by: ERM at April 20, 2010 7:21 PM

c'mon people Rachel Weisz can act! let's not be offensive here!

Posted by: rio at April 20, 2010 7:36 PM

soooo.... you're saying Monica Bellucci can't act? Just to be clear.

Posted by: MM at April 20, 2010 7:45 PM

Natalie Portman / Keira Knightley ... in Phantom Menace, Keira plays a character who actually serves as a decoy for Portman (Queen).

Posted by: Mr. MJ at April 20, 2010 8:01 PM

I used to say that Amanda Peet was the thinking man's Denise Richards.

Since then, I don't know why I ever compared Peet to Richards. I should write her (Peet) an apology.

Posted by: DarthBrooks at April 20, 2010 10:21 PM

Seriously, mixing up Harrison Ford and Dennis Quaid? Hopefully, you're celebrating 4/20 or you're going to hell for it.

Posted by: Erin at April 20, 2010 10:46 PM

Honest to shit, I thought Albert Finney and Brian Cox were the same person up until about fifty seconds ago. Jeezum shitwitches, they're identical! IDENTICAMAL!

And for the record, Michael Cera looks like he eats human organs in the dark. Like he's got a cooler of them hidden in a secret compartment of his pantry...

Skitz: Hey, thanks for inviting me over for cribbage, Michale Cera.

Michael Cera: My pleasure, Skitz - I can't believe it's taken us this long to get together.

Skitz: Me neither, Michael Cera. Say, do you have some Triscuits or something?

Michael Cera: Sure do, new best friend - they're in the pantry.

Skitz: Thanks, Michael Cera. I'm lookng forward to many good times with you.

[...eats Triscuits...]

See? The moral of the story here is that Michael Cera is really, really good at concealing the fact that he dines on the life-giving organs of wayward human beings*. So good, in fact, that he'd be more than willing to let me root around in his pantry. Let that be a lesson, my friends. Let that be a lesson...

(* hobos, mostly...)


Posted by: Skitz at April 20, 2010 10:48 PM

As much as I love Tyler Labine, I'd say he's a better match for Jack Black

Fogler's is his own poor man, this guy just need to die, he's a waste of air, of space, and time onscreen. Fuck him.

Posted by: rg at April 20, 2010 10:52 PM

When I was young I used to sometimes mix up Helen Hunt and Jodie Foster.

Oh and somebody mentioned Amanda Peet. I was positive for a good while that she was in the last season of Just Shoot Me as Vicki(?), but shockingly it was just some other actress.

Posted by: Mit_Huffman at April 20, 2010 11:35 PM

...why does that picture of Megan Fox remind me of Miley Cyrus? Like a dirty, corrupted, more gauche version of her?

Posted by: Hoo-hah at April 21, 2010 12:51 AM

javier bardem looks really good in those pictures.

Posted by: stopthemadness at April 21, 2010 1:21 AM

Wow... I've really missed Skitz.

Tyler Perry is the poor man's Satan.

Posted by: Gamal at April 21, 2010 4:02 AM

So....Monica Belluci is the "poor man's"? Not since the sermon on the mount have I been so infinitely happy to be broke.

Posted by: Darth Darko at April 21, 2010 5:29 AM

being italian she can't fool me with her "I'm a good actor you just don't get it because I have an accent". she sucks balls, it's a well known fact and in italy we just laugh our asses off cause she managed to fool france. please dont tell me you got fooled as well. she has a great freaking body, she is beautiful and that's that.

As if Mickey Rourke vs. Michael Madsen did not make that list.

Posted by: John at April 21, 2010 11:10 AM

Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski

Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhall

Laura Linney and Joan Allen

Posted by: Dave the rave at April 21, 2010 12:49 PM

What about Jack Nicholson and Christian Slater?

And also, Joan Cusack is NO ONE'S "poor man's" ANYTHING. Let's be clear here.

Posted by: Darlene at April 21, 2010 2:27 PM

Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are freaking me the hell out. That's insane.

And I've been in agreement about Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel since the premiere of Justified (amazing show, by the way). I don't hate Duhamel. In fact, I feel like he could have Olyphant's career if he hadn't married Meth Face. Way to ruin yourself, dude. Olyphant, on the other hand, is the hottest DILF ever. Can you imagine if you were in high school and that was your friend's dad?

Posted by: Melissa at April 21, 2010 7:19 PM

You guys mixed up Harrison Ford and Dennis Quaid. ;)

Posted by: Stijn at April 22, 2010 3:56 AM

Lizzy Caplan vs Rashida Jones. Thoughts?

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is also the poor man's Robert Downey Jr. They don't look like identical twins like he and Bardem up there, but there's definite dopplegangery going on, both in appearance and general demeanor.

Which means that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is pretty much perfect in that he seems as though he could be attainable, but if you squint a little you can pretend you're with someone even more awesome.

Steve Zahn / Zach Galifianakis, in some order.

Probably they're both poor.
