Irrational Explanation

My friend asked me about Lonesome Jim, which I'd seen a couple of weeks ago, and I told him that, although it was good, I didn't like it as much as I had hoped.

"Who stars in that movie anyway?"

"Oh, uh...Casey Affleck and Liv Tyler were the main characters."

"Oh. Heh, heh. Liv Tyler. (Pause) Was there any confetti in this movie?"

There was a long pause. Of course, I'm thinking that there's some movie or reality show or tabloid gossip that I'm not aware of where Liv Tyler is associated with confetti.

"Um, what? Confetti?"

"Yeah. -Wait. Isn't Liv Tyler that wacky comedian guy with the handlebar mustache who throws buckets of confetti all over the place?"
