Was expecting the deal mans testimony to be cringe but he's pretty on point. Dropping harsh truths on Ambers starpower.

Why? He was great last time he's the biggest star in this case besides Depp in terms of raw power for the plaintiff's case

Nah, these are the real cogs that make all of Hollywood run. They settle the deals for the talent and directors and studios. This dude was around in the 70s and apparently helped neogtiate shit around Star Wars during its heyday.

He's very credible and likable, and he's following up on the set-up from Hamada to deal a gory death blow to Ambers damage case.

Plus I think the plan might be to piss off Amber so much with him that she forces her attorneys to burn a lot of time on cross examination. Every time she's on camera she is whispering or passing notes.

She was expounding on an "early draft" she saw of Aquaman 2. Supposedly Amber's role as shot was much reduced from the version initially reviewed, and I think a couple of plot points mentioned on the stand. It was unclear from which draft these were coming from.

Depp's lawyer was the one who dropped the 40 year old spoiler about Dune and Duncan. Which, whatever. We'll see if WB has the appetite to go that far down the cycle.

No, it was Aquaman 2. Dune was too, but A2 also had some minimal spoilers dropped. People overstate how much beefiness was actually there in the drop though. She just said Mera was supposed to be in a hospital scene early on and a "really big fight scene" near the end. Honestly the biggest issue IMO isn't that she spoiled some bits - potentially - but that it shows Mera never had that large of a part. She quoted two scenes and those were probably her most significant. That's not a good look for Amber.

Guess it just goes to show how minor it really was... I don't remember it...

Hard disagree. I liked Isaac a lot better, and I think that likeability might do more for the jury than the factual truth bombs.

It's hard to believe she's ever had a big role in Aquaman 2 when the best they could offer sounds like a smaller role than Dr. Strange's girlfriend in the first movie.

DUI guy just said the jury gave Amber an extremely unimpressed look when she did a mini celebration over one of the expert witnesses saying something that supported her position.

I mean,,, MJ is a pretty well-known character, but she play such a small role in the film adaptations. Meera is in the same boat.

 

[DumDum Did Nothing Wrong]

Man, maybe the sperging yesterday has made me jaded on legal bytes stream but this current circle jerking of her like she started lawtube is a bit much.

a little OT but I actually completely forgot that character existed before I watched MoM and was a little shocked that she was treated as important to Strange's character as she was when so much has happened with the character and the ex has come up so little. Haven't seen Aquaman so I can't speak to the comparison but it seems right.

I think this whole morning was a knockout for Depp tbh

I think that's called a bukkake.

 

[JohnDoe]

The simping in her streams and the frequency of their circle jerks leaves me very ambivalent about her going forward. I think its been getting worse and worse, her and her panelists keep putting themselves into feedback loops that I find annoying. Honestly, I don't think she'll be able to keep this up without more celebrity cases, her audience isn't as dedicated to the majority of streamed cases.

 

[Allanon]

That might have something to do with the fact that Zendaya's character was never meant to be MJ, and they shoved her into the role just to flex on Marvel. Her personality doesn't match MJ and she can't be anyone else now, so they struggle to give her any roles. They're probably actually keeping her (and pretending she was meant to be MJ) because of her star power, like the opposite of Amber and Mera.

She has a reasonably small role in the original, but the movie never indicated she should have been anything else, she was never billed as a co-lead. That said, you'd be less surprised by her presence in MoM if you watched What If, as she has a big role (relative to Strange) there.

Social media guy definitely obliterated Amber's defamation claims, at least.

If you paid me $2.5 million for like 20 fucking minutes of work I'd damn well keep my mouth shut, get the job done and go laughing all the way to the fucking bank. I wouldn't be fucking around pretending its a breakthrough role or any other hilarious horseshit or I've been denied millions of dollars by whatever shithead I can dredge up.

They're probably actually keeping her (and pretending she was meant to be MJ) because of her star power, like the opposite of Amber and Mera.

She's also likeable on and off screen, clearly had good chemistry with Tom Holland and Jacob Batalon and is an acceptable evolution of MJ or we'd have a lot more shit flinging and screeching from both the CONSUME PRODUCT fanbase and Marvel fans.

Also, don't forget how much the Pandemic has fucked up more roles and castings for a lot of Hollywood people, she's still got pretty major irons in the fire, with her obviously returning for Dune Part 2, and she's the executive producer and main cast on Euphoria over on TV. Which considering some actors have been off our radar for well over a year-eighteen months due to the various (with hindsight retarded) restrictions put in place.

Rachel McAdams is also a good actress and I remember first "properly" seeing her back in 2013's About Time where she's the ead role. Again, unlike Heard she's had steady and solid roles rather than a handful of movies and some TV appearances. She's set to play a fairly major role in the upcoming Are You There God? It's Me Margaret. Which is due out in September this year in which she plays the fairly large role of Barbara, Margaret's mother.

She's got a fucking filmography a mile thick in which she plays a lot of rather key supporting roles, including Irene Adler in the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes film.

She was the lead in Season 2 of True Detective for God's sake back when that was still riding super high in the ratings.

I'm amused by how the expert witnesses deployed by Depp are... ya know, actual experts rather than whatever scummy Hollywood Hangers On Heard's team keep finding.

Rather reflects the people involved, doesn't it?

Interesting how they aren't letting Elaine do any of the cross exams now. It might be the first smart thing they've done in the last two weeks, if only to save some time. Feels a bit like putting a bandaid on a sucking chest wound at this point though.

Rottenberg's the only vaguely competent lawyer on Heard's team and wonder why the fuck he's not been the lead instead of Elaine, who I am convinced would get you the death penalty for fucking unpaid parking tickets.

EDIT: Of course I say this and he's wandered off into the fucking weeds over their obsession with the Waldmen Statements.

 

[Allanon]

It honestly just feels extremely disrespectful that Amber is doodling through expert witness and only pays attention if her side is talking. I feel like she ought to be either always attentive or never attentive. Especially as an 'innocent' defendant. Johnny shifts his attention too, but he's more consistent with just rarely looking up at all or very mildly reacting to things. Amber puts on a pouty face at all times and scribbles through testimony unless she likes it.

Who knows, maybe there's just some really rude body language I'm seeing but not noticing and that's why Amber's behavior feels worse.

If you paid me $2.5 million for like 20 fucking minutes of work I'd damn well keep my mouth shut, get the job done and go laughing all the way to the fucking bank.

The problem is that Amber is a narcissist. She believes that she's destined to be a big star. If you listen to her old co-star, everyone in the movie they were in thought they were gonna make it big because of that movie. That includes Amber. Then she married Johnny Depp and she got a breakout role she would never have gotten before. She absolutely made herself believe that she was going to make it big - and this is one reason she made the abuse allegations immediately after the divorce. It lined up with the Aquaman release because she erroneously thought it would boost her career (which says something about metoo)

The other problem is because she's a narcissist she cannot accept that she is at fault for not getting more roles. It can't be that she failed to capitalize on her opportunity, it can't be that she has bad chemistry with Jason Momoa. It must be that Depp sabotaged her somehow, it must be that WB is being unfair to her and ruining her career that she should have gotten because she'd only been held back before because she hadn't gotten an opportunity before.

There's plenty to say about Zendaya and her role as MJ, but ultimately her having a smaller role despite being MJ is probably mostly because of what I said. They squandered her 'intro' movie because they never planned on it being her, so she has missed her opportunity to have a big role as the designated love interest.

The COVID thing is interesting to point out, but I think the reason Amber isn't considering that as a factor is because none of the people she thinks she's comparable to (people like Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot) were negatively impacted by the cutbacks. Because she thinks she's good enough to be like them, if she's not treated like them it's an injustice somehow. It can't be COVID because that's applied equally to everyone. It must be targeted at her. She naturally points at Johnny because he's an easy target for her.

Because all of Amber's actions and conclusions are delusional and knee-jerk she can't really get good expert witnesses with fact or reason involved. How can she, when none of her claims are rooted in any fact other than 'Johnny said mean things to me sometimes'?

Yeah, I came back to post exactly this sentiment. Why is this milquetoast nerd being allowed to just body Heard's attorney directly into the time clock? They aren't really scoring any hits against King Autist, and definitely not enough to justify burning up all these minutes!

It must be Amber demanding they defend her social media honor or something.

 

[MightyBiteySnake]

Yeah tbh I didn't even remember she appeared outside of the opening act and then I remember in discussion after MoM that she does in fact help protect Strange's body when he's doing some astral projection stuff. Not that that's a judgement on the actor's performance I remember her as doing a fine job in both movies but I certainly wouldn't recognize her as that character outside the context of a marvel movie and I wouldn't consider Bebblebick Cumbybumble as letting some of his star power "shine on her" over it.

If they REALLY wanted to make the stretch that this relatively minor Aquaman role is worth a ton in speculative damages they should've pointed to Natalie Portman reprising her relatively unpopular role as Jane (as Lady Thor) in the new Thor. However Lady Thor is (as far as I'm aware) a pretty recent character with breakout success in the actual print comics and there's no way to predict that Heard's characters comic equivalent would have that sort of breakout success.

Interesting how they aren't letting Elaine do any of the cross exams now. It might be the first smart thing they've done in the last two weeks, if only to save some time. Feels a bit like putting a bandaid on a sucking chest wound at this point though.

As a layman I can't say how baffling I find Elaine's performance. Even the best are not perfect at their jobs and relative to title/experience I agree with Nick and co that Vasquez is the star of the plaintiff's council and even she's had a few slips here and there (despite generally bouncing back well from those moments), but Elaine is SO BAD. She lacks charisma, she lacks argumentative skill and she clearly lacks brainpower as well! The fact that she so clearly relies on a crutch she identified that she'll whine "Well, what if anything!" at the judge when met with an objection is unreal to me (nevermind that the judge let's her do it).
