No, it wasn’t an abuse of power. At worst, it was an error in judgement on his part. He did not tell her to do anything she wouldn/couldn’t do in real life. If you have a driver’s license, you should be able to operate a vehicle at 40 mph.

Eh, watch the video. It would be somewhat dangerous in modern car, but that car was just obviously not equipped to safely handle a crash into trees.

Did you even read the article? She said she felt the car wasn’t safe, and that QT’s assurance it was a straight road was completely wrong (as you can tell from the video). The bottom line is, if your actor doesn’t feel safe doing a stunt, even one as simple as driving, then its the director responsibility to find a…

Yes, any director of any gender who actively risks the life of their talent and crew should never work in the movie business again. Absolutely. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.

40 mph in an unsafe, modified car on a sandy, twisting road after the actress had repeatedly voiced her concerns over the safety of the stunt. Uma Thurman was within her rights to demand a stunt person to fill in for her, and yes it is an abuse of power to force her to get into a situation that she (correctly as it…

Dr. Lawyer said “sexual abuse OR abuse of power.” It definitely was an abuse of power. If your boss responds to doubts or hesitation to doing something dangerous on the job with fury, they are abusing their power. It should “bring him down” (i.e., take him out of that position of power) if that’s a good way to prevent…

They’re here for news about Mindy Kaling

Many of the members here are just hateful misanthropes who are fundamentally incapable of deriving pleasure and enjoyment out of any piece of art, hence their desire to see as many major artists destroyed as possible.

If they reentered production with the LS400 again today (with update to touch screen, bluetooth, etc in the console and steering wheel), and sold them for $32K, I bet they’d sell 20,000 or more a year in the US

A friend of mine got one about 18 mos ago, a ‘95 with 178k on the clock. He let me borrow it for a couple months while I was between cars, and I begged him to let me buy it off of him, and offered to pay him $500 more than he paid (He paid $2250), but he wouldnt let it go. That car was friggin’ amazing, even at 20 yrs…

Yeah, the lady who raids my apartment’s dumpsters drives one. It’s full of cans, but runs well.

Had one as a rental in California last year. I wanted to like it, but wind noise and rattles at 6,000mi sealed its fate.

Slap a back and forth red LED array on it and make it say “By your command.”

And herein lies the problem — it’s the car everyone’s mom drives. Lexus has become the 2000's version of what Buick / Cadillac were in the 1980s.

The class never left! They’re still driving around! lol

Those both look terrible. Probably 90% of that grille isn’t a grille. It’s just design and unattractive design at that.

My mom’s in the exact situation. Wants to stick with the RX, but is looking elsewhere cause she doesn’t get why they make them look like that now.

Look, it doesn’t look so bad on cars designed for them.

My mom has a 2015 Lexus RX and was going to trade it in for new 2017 RX until she saw one up close and personal and declared it “too ugly.” She was not wrong.
