    Only kept up with this goat show on here, but some of my follows on Twitter whom I am usually on the same page are decrying the verdict as misinformation, gaslighting, and misogyny, with some even attacking the concept of trial by jury itself. So I guess now the thing to do on social media anytime there is an outcome you don’t agree with is to attack the entire system as corrupt?

    Another reason why twatter in particular is such a cesspool of stupidity. I didn't watch this trial and am consistently opposed to nationalizing local / private events. As @wildcat09 noted, sometimes juries make mistakes, but that does not mean the system needs to be burned down or there is some great conspiratorial evil at play. This weird trend has emerged where the tiny but loud crazies believe the system must perfectly match their will in ever case or be destroyed and to deny its destruction is to play into some X. Verdict goes my way, the system is amazing. It doesn't, it's literally Hitler.

    No opinion really on this case - not a lawyer, only heard about it through similar inescapable channels - think he's right: Depp came across as more believable and authentic and probably more likable in this particular instance despite being arguable the weirdest dude in Hollywood. Given my little exposure, she did seem to come across as a nutjob in this particular case and particularly disingenuous. I think she probably lost the case on the entire donating the $7M to charity lie ... I can imagine the average joe jury looking at this privileged actress feigning charity probably did not land too well and made her out to be completely non-credible. It is one of those lies made worse by the fact it was unnecessary, purely fake virtue signaling. 

    But harkening back to a college paper on Falwell v. Hustler, I am digging the actual malice discussion among the barristers. My guess is the original interview and source of the complaints probably was a mix of 15% vendetta against Depp and 85% trying to get credibility as a battered woman, #metoo victim ... doesn't mean it's right she got to use him as the foil. In the context of the fake charity donations seems like another unsubstantiated virtual signal.

  2. Just finished up and agree with everyone's thoughts. Particularly:

    • The cast worked really well collectively in Seasons 1-3, but it really loses something when they're in three groups
    • Toward that, agree the Hopper and California plot lines are pointless as is Will ... Mike and Jonathan only valuable to watch them get dumped (I almost bailed if there was one more scene with Argyle)
    • I can buy into the fantasy stuff, but the fast and loose with reality is eye rolling - the entire Hopper arc is just silly on myriad levels from his resistance to frostbite from ability to fight the demagordon after being in a Siberian prison for a year ... Lucas in general ... Nancy's ability to charm anything with a pecker ... 
    • Kill Lucas and keep his sister - older Lucas sucks ... Dustin is the only kid that adds something pretty funny - keep him and the olds and have Mike and Will run off to Vegas and get married by Elvis or go Brokeback on the Yellowstone
    • Orderly / 01 / Creel kid / Vecna too obvious ... should have been more subtle and saved the "01" tattoo for the final scene - seemed stupidly redundant ... and the back story way over-explained ...

    So does AH get further cut out of Aquaman 2 footage?

    Does she get cut completely and scenes get re-shot?

     

    How can they keep her in with the negative publicity this is going to attach to her?

    Not sure she ever recovers from Amber Turd. Every movie - unless she's nekkid - the only thing people will see is her taking a shit in the bed ... in her own bed ... on purpose.

    Verdict reached and will be read 2 CT...

     

    See you then...

     

    My guess is still 7M to Depp

    I think the jury rules in his favor but may give him $1. (but I'll acknowledge I have only gotten second-hand takes)

    As far as I can tell he's probably already won in the court of public opinion. Doesn't not exactly come across well, but Turd looks crazy enough and dishonest enough to not fully buy what she's selling.

  5. I get trademark owners wanting to control their brands, but I've never fully grasped things like this or the strange prohibition against using "Olympics" or "Super Bowl." I think a bunch of these "off label" Elvis stuff only kept him top-of-mind and ultimately strengthened the brand. Impersonators, wedding chapels, and velvets have kept Elvis in the popular culture much more than his music.

  6. Mr. Skeletor gets a mug shot:

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/nancy-pelosis-husband-paul-pelosi-215047681.html

    WASHINGTON - Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was arrested Saturday in Napa, California, for allegedly driving under the influence, according to county records.

    A booking report shows Paul Pelosi, 82, was arrested at 11:44 p.m. PT Saturday, booked at 4 a.m. Sunday and charged with misdemeanors for allegedly driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher.

    Bail was set at $5,000.
