    I try not to get absorbed in celebrity trash, but the courtroom clips keep surfacing in my YouTube feed, and there are definitely a lot of characters in this drama. Best Johnny Depp movie in years!

    A random Youtube thumbnail said a Warners producer leaked the whole script of Aquaman 2 in his testimony, so I'm avoiding the whole thing to stay spoiler-free for Aquaman.

    Bro, it's a comic book action movie. I could probably predict the whole plot on a napkin at lunch. @Diacanu

    I'm willing to concede that everyone sucks here and that Depp's on past history of anger management before Heard is open to scrutiny but she fucked herself with that recording.

    If you swing at the king, you better not miss. :clyde:

    That said, Hollywood loves nothing more than to rehire and cover for abusers, if Depp was guilty he certainly didn't need to go this far to clear his name and stay employed.

    This. Regardless of how the jury lands in the end, it seems Depp has prevailed in the court of public opinion, which is the whole ballgame really.

    1. I make minimal effort to know anything about it.
    2. from what I understand, the case is taking a "Gamer Gate" direction in which the social media narrative has little to do with the actual events.
    3. Someone I follow on Twitter for other reasons kinda got fed up and actually did the research on all the background - shit I still didn't bother to read when he posted about it - but I did listen to this podcast in which he discussed it and I see no reason to fault his analysis

    I have no doubt that Amber Heard is an awful person, possible mentally ill, and definitely a manipulative and abusive liar.

    But, I am not at all happy with the fact that society at large is glossing over the well-demonstrated fact that Johnny Depp is also a violent and abusive drug addict and alcoholic.

    Some loud tantrums on record, but absolutely zero credible evidence that he raised a hand to her or anyone else. Meanwhile, if I'm not mistaken she's got one conviction in the bag and one recording of her admitting she hit him and taunting him over the fact that nobody would believe him. Absolutely heinous fucking bitch, digging for gold and attention.

    Ok, I have almost zero idea of what this whole Depp/Heard thing is about. My knowledge of it extends to she said and he said. I really don't see what the big deal is about the whole thing and further than the two of them.

    SNL had the right of it in their skit, the press think they're doing us a favor by giving us a "fun trial" to distract us from doomsday creeping up.

    Every man who doesn't think with his privates already knows that. But we men are not the brightest. Depp was already a middle-aged man and not a guy in his mid-twenties, so I have little sympathy for him. Besides, he had already had enough fun with very beautiful women. Quite an idiot... It must have been the alcohol and the cocaine. Or he was just dumb as a box of rocks.

    Why am I not surprised to find you sympathetic to some petty little being who expects her delusions to be accepted on faith?

    Both the standard of proof and burden of proof is different between a civil defamation trial and criminal domestic abuse trial. I'm unaware of Depp being convicted of domestic abuse (unless I'm missing something).
