Hey ya’ll…well as I delve more into the character of Joe, one of the first things the audience finds out about him is his love for westerns, especially the spaghetti westerns of the ’60’s and ’70’s. Oddly enough, I had never seen any of these films. Even though they are now part of the pop culture lexicon, I somehow missed them. So started at the top with the Sergio Leone films, A Fist Full of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and Once Upon A Time In The West. It’s been really fun getting them. Leone was really an artist, you just don’t see films made like this anymore. With hardly any dialogue, Leone chose to tell his stories through a character’s actions. Really beautiful stuff actually. I do believe I’m hooked.
