I only found it so funny because obviously, those are two of the most significant and important films / directors of all time; and the concept of ‘Stanley Kubrick’s Apocalypse Now’ is just both utterly fascinating and totally humorous.
Not sure what your age has anything to do with your comment or mine; though? Except that I guess that obviously as a grown man you’d have a much easier time identifying these two films and their directors than, say; a 20-year-old? Is that what you’re saying? Sorry; I think it just went over my head.
They may well just mean that making these sorts of mistakes feels worse when you're an adult. When children don't know the difference between a goose and a duck, or between N Sync and the Beatles, we don't think much of it, whereas suddenly as an adult this seems like a big deal.
I used to get Al Pacino and Robert De Niro muddled up, like badly enough that it made it difficult to follow Heat (which features both actors in major roles)! No, they don't look alike, I don't know why I couldn't keep that straight.
Whereas I had no problem distinguishing the real Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) in the Phantom Menace while apparently that plot point caught out other people I watched it with the first time - shrug.
