Yet, @Mz iMac Amber, hugs her attorney and they don't say anything? Double standard? I have seen attorneys hug clients routinely. They develop close relationships. I don't see anything wrong with it. They did not do it in front of the jury.

@Tinkrbl44   No, too much violence and scary characters.  I certainly wouldn't take my kids to see them.........my opinion.

Some of the comments..

After watching this you can really understand how much Captain Jack Sparrow meant to Johnny, the little things from the jewelry to the sword to the belt buckle. He really did put himself into Jack. So I can understand the hurt and heartache that he would feel when Disney fired him, it was probably akin to losing a family member.

 

 

So basically, Johnny created Jack Sparrow and Disney fired him anyways...I understand now why he said that he will never play Jack again. He felt betrayed by his own "family" when he needed help. This is heart-breaking honestly.

 

 

Being a costume designer....love this. I have done hair, wigs, makeup, etc. I have done props. I love all these ideas. This is one of the best with stories that go with it, inside the story line of the script. So, nobody else could ever be Jack Sparrow.

 

 

Johnny Depp seems like a chill  down to earth guy, despite being famous it seems anyone could talk to him and be at ease.  It is so interesting to see all of this. I'm so glad someone made these videos!

Re: Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial

I think the first time she and her attorneys hugged was the day after she stomped right past them and straight out the side door (after the judge told her to go have a seat next to her attorneys).

 

Same day (?) the male attorney started sitting next to her and they started to appear to have small talk and laughs. I even saw her pop something in her mouth like Johnny has been doing lol.

 

Just trying to rehabilitate her hissy fit and unpleasant demeanor.

Re: Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial

Last week we saw a lot of video depositions that JD's team declined to cross-examine. This has given his side a lot of extra time. Depending on what order JD's team calls people to testify (in an effort to disprove AH's witnesses) her side may run out of time to cross-examine some of JD's witnesses. As it stands AH's side has 8 hours 14 minutes left while JD's side has 18 hours and 30 minutes.

 

From what I understand those times do not include the time for closing arguments which I believe are 2 hours for each side. Benjamin Chew and Camille Vasquez (whose name Elaine has yet to pronounce correctly) will close for Johnny. Elaine Bredehoft and Ben Rottenborn will close for AH.

@Tinkrbl44 The Pirates of the Caribbean series is one that garnered Depp the role of Captain Jack Sparrow.  Not marketed as a children's series.  Plenty of adults enjoyed them. My family included.

Re: Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial

@Tinkrbl44's   question made me curious so from what I could tell there are 14 Disney movies that have a rating of PG-13. They include all the Pirates movies, John Carter, Saving Mr. Banks, The Lone Ranger, The Finest Hours, Cruella, Jungle Cruise, Mulan, and Hamilton. Then there are all the Marvel movies (a subsidiary of Disney) that have a PG-13 rating. 

 

This conversation reminded of something that was so funny during AH's agent's testimony. I've read most of the comments here but can't remember if this was mentioned. Anyway, her agent said (in a sworn deposition mind you) that when Aquaman came out (2018) that it was THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MOVIE OF ALL TIME EVER!!!

 

Wow, who knew? Smiley Very Happy

 

My first thought was they might as well have turned off the video at that point. Who can believe someone who gets something so blatantly wrong? The jury was probably reeling. 

 

Now, to give credit where credit is due, Aquaman was a very successful movie, and might be the most successful movie based on a DC character, but that's a very different statement than saying it was the most successful movie of all time ever which were her exact words. In truth, it wasn't even the most successful movie for Warner Bros. as that  distinction goes to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow part 2. 

 

Looking a little further it seems that Aquaman may have been the 5th most profitable release of 2018 which is pretty good. I don't why the woman felt the need to say it was the most successful movie of all time ever and I believe she repeated it more than once. It really just made her look silly.
