Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

In 1992, when Madonna was 34 years old, the press told her to “Settle down Grandma!” That was an actual headline. She didn’t. And nearly 35 years years later, and almost 45 since she first hit the scene, she gets artist of the year. She is the blueprint. 👑
