2. Refreshing legal view. I've seen a lot of short YouTube video out takes

They certainly seem to favor Jonny. But I know I’m not getting a full range of info. None the less Amber seems like a lying snake and listening to this lawyer doesn’t make her case look any better.

all giving honest thoughtful points of view. Most do favor Johnny, but it is because they have been watching ALL of the trial.

I also saw that Amber Heard hired a new PR firm. I believe the mainstream media has been bombarded with PR info.

3. This whole episode is one I've tried hard to ignore because it just seems like mutual destruction...

That said (and admittedly I don't know much, if any, of the details behind this long slog saga), the bits I've seen of Depp scream dispassionate to the point of not giving a damn and probably considerably arrogant, but generally honest. In contrast, Amber Heard's "affect" all but screams rehearsed, manipulative and untruthful. That's my instinctive assessment. I suppose that I could be wrong, but my observational instincts about people and their body language have served me pretty well throughout my life.

I see the two of them and am reminded of the gunfight scene where they shoot each other dead. This whole ugly episode seems like a metaphorical rendition of that. I guess it is good for the lawyers and TMZ?

I've heard Gilbert Grape and Edward Scissor hands were good, but I did not get around to seeing them. I don't go to movies much. I did not see the one Ms. Heard was in (Aquaman). Just not interested. Oh, I did watch 21 Jump Street back in the day. He was a cutie.

I think of War of the Roses when I watch the trial. And it saddens me. However, if Ms. Heard is attempting to gain fame and fortune by destroying Johnny...well, if I had been in the same position as Johnny, I would have filed suit as well...showing the world the warts and all.

I just watched the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, in which he played Ichabod Crane. Very creepy, well done.
