An exciting day for Greece! It was my honor to participate in the ribbon cutting for a brand new McDonald’s at The Mall in Athens, the most technologically advanced McDonald’s in all of Europe!

Christopher Nolan seems to be deliberately turning the Odyssey into a train wreck. I would propose two different directors: Mel Gibson or Robert Eggers. Mel would have the whole thing in Greek and actually have historical armour. Eggers would make it dark and mysterious, even nightmarish. In both cases it would be extremely violent, like the actual story was.
