Just watched a movie called "The Founder". It's about the McDonalds Corporation. Brilliant movie.

I liked it too. Amazing how the "founder" was able to buy the rights to the McDonald's brothers own name. Those guys must absolutely hate seeing McDonald's (their own name) everywhere after they got screwed so hard.

You mean how Ray Kroc took the company over from the McDonald family?

I've been interested in seeing that. I don't watch many documentaries, but that one looks interesting, even if I don't eat at McDonalds very often. It still seems like it would be interesting to hear the story of probably one of the most well-known/infamous companies in the world.

It's not a documentary, so perhaps that makes it even more entertaining. The acting is pretty great, but the whole history part is what stuck with me.

well they didnt want to go big and ray did. i didnt watch the movie yet and i'm not so sure about the whole story but what i remember hearing about it is ray was more business minded.

the mcdonald bros were good businessmen on a smaller scale so i'm sure they did fine up until their deaths. the heirs, i'm sure are wishing they had that mickyd's money.
