There is a clear performative aspect with those two even while they're not on the stand. Depp was smirking and giggling and whispering the whole time his case was being presented. I think that is mostly for effect, for the jury. And of course for the viewing public, who he would like to win over maybe more than the jury, in support of his career.

Which is slightly aggravating. I’d never get away with the shit he pulls.

Mrs. George agrees.
Sentiment seems to be against her, at the moment. However, public sentiment usually has little to do with the law.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose.
OTOH, I really wonder if this is about the money, rather than restoring his reputation. Even if he loses in court, winning in the court of public opinion might be enough to resurrect his career.

What's funny, and quite encouraging, is that I don't find Amber Heard attractive in the slightest.
Or maybe I'm just getting old in my old age.

I don't think so. At least not mostly. What he's been laughing at has been legitimately very funny.
I watched some videos of some hostage negotiators analyze both Depp and Heard. To their credit, they admitted to speculating, but basically, Heard is doing everything someone would do if they knew they were being watched and wanted to be seen in a favorable light. For Depp, it's merely most of the time. Some of his reactions really didn't do him any favors from a performative aspect, which suggests it's more likely those reactions were honest.

That would be interesting and fun to watch. Share a link, please!

The real tragedy for Depp in all this is that now that Heard has exposed him as an abuser, no woman will ever touch him again.

Except for Mrs. Phibes, apparently.

Referendum on Ms Heard's acting ability towards the end of her testimony today. Can't make herself cry. She's no Meryl Streep.

Amber testified that Johnny struck her face (I think it was a head-butt) and broke her nose. She took a photo.
There's another photo, a day later....

I'll defer to the plaintiff's attorneys to find this (and there's a 10 day pause in the trial so the judge can attend a conference), and I'm sure they will.
So, who's the better makeup artist? The one on 12/15 or the one on 12/16?

I watched the cross-examination of Heard by Depp's team today.
Wow. This was stuff that, unlike what you see on TV, would play in primetime. Depp's lawyer was slow, focused, and methodical. She was able to point out all of Heard's inconsistencies, her errors, and her omissions.
I have no idea if the jury will buy it, but it was convincing to me.

Pretty much everything I see online seems to be people supporting Depp.
I guess it's only the jury that matters.

I suspect the unspoken backlash against the excesses of #MeToo looms large in the minds of many.
