    Judging by the content of the last few years, I would’ve guessed they’d been on strike a lot longer.

      I have watched a ton of their documentary stuff and enjoyed it all. Lots of interesting topics I’d never think to watch shows on otherwise. My favorites have been the one about the Pepsi points guy and the McDonald’s monopoly money theft. But the American Gladiators was solid.

    We edited a real trial to be a reality show!

    I bet the producers are so, so proud

      This just tells me editors need to unionize and go on strike too.

      Then what? 😂

    We live in a silly world. The Trial. Her facial implants. depps GFs age chart is close to diCaprio’s. Even Elon plays a role. On top of that there’s Trump, just like the Simpsons predicted

      Agreed. The thing that sucks is how people’s private life become reality tv. It really sucks for both of them.

        Worst part is that politics is already reality TV. Get your drama on the TV, not real life!

      Aaand that’s me. I love to feel superior to rich, disgusting people, during the 60 min. media time in my 9-5 job that barely pays the bills (except Kardashians).

    So, what’s the deal with this trial anyway? I slept on it while it was going on. I remember Reddit was overwhelmingly united behind Depp; I assumed that Heard was in the right.

        Basically, both have serious problems, while I definitely leaned team Depp, I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had gone the other way.

          That’s the thing tho. We don’t know enough to make that call. While I get people takes sides this is about other people’s private life and it should stay that way.

            Unpopular opinion: it’s good that the trial had the media attention it had. If that hadn’t happened, everyone would still be thinking Heard is a saint like it was before the trial, even though proof the abuse happened both ways already surfaced.

            She crowned herself paladin against domestic violence while perpetrating it herself and the world needed to know how much of an ass she actually was. That’s also part of the reason why most people were team Depp: both were shitty people, but at least Depp had the decency not to go to court and play victim.

      I followed it a bit, and I followed the one that preceded it in England. Oddly, some evidence that was allowed in England wasn’t allowed in the US, and some evidence allowed in the US wasn’t allowed in England, so a lot of opinions are different based on which trial they paid more attention to.

      Basically, they’re both awful people who were regularly blackout drunk/high, and had a mutually abusive, toxic relationship. A lot of the arguing online is about who was the mostest abusive/toxic, partly (imo) based on the parasocial relationship they have with their celebrity of choice and who had the best zingers in court. In the US trial, Johnny Depp was charming in court and had GREAT lawyers, and Amber Heard came across as very fake (like she was performing for the jury) with terrible lawyers. In the England version, Johnny Depp admitted he didn’t remember what he did or didn’t do to her because he was really high and drunk a lot. They both have witnesses with pretty convincing stories. There was also a lot of fighting about who pushed whom down the stairs, who hit whom, who cut whom with a bottle, etc.

      TL;DR - They’re both emotionally unstable trash and would be AWFUL to date. You didn’t miss much.

        This was very refreshing to read. They are both shitty people and everyone thought that Amber was the one that was the issue. They are both to blame in my views, they are just as bad.

        What I hate is that such a case was viable like a fucking reality show. This is the private life of these people and the media just use this as some TV show. Fuck I hate humanity.

        I don’t give a shit who was right or wrong. Just that people start taking sides on something that is none of their business to begin with.

        The thing with the British trial that a lot of people don’t seem to get is that in that case it wasn’t Depp v Heard. It was Depp v the newspaper that called him a wife beater.

        The case was never about if Heards claims were true and Depp actually was a wife beater, it was a bout if the newspaper intentionally defamed him based on info that was available. And because they were essentially just repeating what Heard had said, and had no way to know if she was lying or telling the truth, Depp team couldn’t prove they were intentionally lying to defame him.

      It came out that even though everything in their relationship was recorded she had no proof of him abusing her but instead she was the abuser, even mocking him that no one would believe him because he is a man. He was a drug addict though and slept a lot and walked away from her when she wanted to argue so she followed him every time. He once slammed cupboarda though

      This is just incredibly intellectually lazy, to put it nicely. I don’t suppose you think climate change is a hoax, trump is a reasonable guy, and Russia is in the right? Those stances are the opposite of what reddit is overwhelmingly behind.

      Asking random commenters to tell you what to think isn’t much better. The trial is public, there are plenty of highligh compilations. If you don’t have the time for that, you can read the verdict. The legal system and the jury are surely the better judges than randos on the internet.

      Also it’s kind of ironic that you reject the popular opinion of reddit, only to come and ask for popular opinion on a reddit replacement.
