He definitely is familiar with the comedic SW films. I’ve heard him mention some as ones he likes (can’t recall name off top of my head). Several of the titles at Venice are SW films he has already screened at his QT Fests. Outside of the Leone films he has screened there I think Day of Anger and Arizona Colt (which certainly has some fun humor) were my favorites, though neither are screening here. Very nice diverse list of SW films. The Tonino Valerii film is one that has escaped me and I definitely want to check out now (I know Wild East has it out).
The best thing about this for me is that hopefully now several of these SW titles not already out with a proper home video release will now get one (at least ones without any complicated rights issues).
