Poor Paul Anderson. He's always being asked what the story is with those frogs at the end of Magnolia. "No, no" Anderson will say, "I'm afraid you're thinking of Paul Thomas Anderson." Oh. "Yeah, I have a new movie out though. It's called Death Race." Ah, yes. Of course. "Want to ask me anything about my movies?" Gotta run, hombre. Loved Bloodrayne though!

Such is the life of Mr. Anderson. It's gotten so confusing that he's actually added his middle initials of "W.S." (for the extra prestigious-sounding Paul W.S. Anderson) to avoid confusion. It must suck getting confused for a cinematic genius. But it seems the "W.S." hasn't done Anderson much good because now he just gets confused with Wes Anderson. Do you have a headache yet? Poor Paul Anderson does.

In order to make everyone's life just a little bit easier, I've compiled a little list to point out the differences between P.T.A. and P.W.S.A. Enjoy.
