This annoying Gynt is too lazy to make up myths, instead stealing the plots of old movies. (Some references will be lost on anyone under 50 who wanders in, I feel.) He ends up owning a golf course and a media empire, becoming an arms dealer and a guru, but the parallels with contemporary targets feel effortful.
