@ The Bus. I've met multiple people who get those two confused and I've never understood it.

I've had at least two conversations with my wife about Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman, and the last time she finally got the right name with the right guy.

Shes seen enough stuff with Pullman (Casper/Spaceballs) but nothing with Paxton.

I'm not sure how she still confused them, we saw them both *in the same movie* and in the same scene.

Re: Geek to hot?

It isn't just puberty with Alexa Vega. She was kind of an ugly kid. You'd never guess she'd turn into a hotty.

Same thing for Lacey Chabert.

Oh please. She looked exactly the same. She literally looks like a bigger version of herself as a kid, with makeup on.

I think her tits may be distracting you from that.

^She's cute now and she was cute then. Her lips do it for me. I can picture them wrapped around...never mind.

Regarding the opposite sex, I guess Patrick Dempsey counts.

Not really. I think her face looks better now. I'd never have guessed the girl from Spy Kids would grow up to be so pretty. Her tits are just a bonus.
