At 5’3", Alan Ladd was shorter than almost every other male actor in **Sheen** , which required some fancy camera tricks to make him look heroic. ---

I though Clint Walker starred in the 1950’s series **Shane** , which was TV’s first hour-long western series. ---

Clint Walker rode tall in the saddle, but if any cowboy sang **Cheyenne** Harvest Moon, it would have been Gene Autrey or Roy Rogers. ---

There wasn’t any singing in Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s _The **Shine On** _. ---

There was a party at the motel? That must have been quite a **shining**. ---

Isn’t **shindig** the color between blue and violet in older versions of the rainbow? ---

There have been quite a few references to **Indigo** Jones in popular TV shows recently. I wonder if there’s a product placement aspect to this; is a new movie coming out? ---

Didn’t **Inigo** fighting play a large part in the last Tarantino movie? Also, the term should be avoided in general conversation as it is a _very_ impolite term for black people. ---

I hope you’re talking about **Negro** , the comic strip by Walt Kelly, set in the Okefenokee Swamp. ---

I think TruCelt meant Indiana Jones. Continuing… Water sports? He was much more famous for track and field. They named the **polo** vault after him. ---

Don’t be silly. That was named after former Kansas Senator and Republican presidential nominee Bob **Pole**. ---

Yeah and I think he doomed himself in the presidential election by coming off **dole** and humorless. he showed a much lighter and engaging side after he lost the election. ---

I bet he would have come across less humorless if he had campaigned with a **dull** pickle. ---
