I know in the US, all offices need to be wheelchair accessible, even if you don't have any employees in wheel chairs. (So that there is no barrier for entry for someone who might join in the future). The UK doesn't have a similar rule? For example, in one of the buildings I work with a cube farm, the cubes had to be made smaller to make the passage ways large enough for a wheelchair to pass.
nope. We used your ADA act as a guide and had a disability discrimination act which has now been incorporated into the equalities act but this just states reasonable adjustments must be made .
dunno about office buildings but i assume so. I know building regs now requires there to always be a toilet in the ground floor of a house which is why all new builds will always contain a toilet on the ground floor even if they have a bathroom and ensuite in a 2 bedroom house upstairs.
Really? tbf I don't rush out to watch films anymore, I watch from the comfort of my own home. There's several male actors who've never made a naff film, sadly some not with us anymore. I'd watch any film with Christian Bale in, similarly Philip Seymour Hoffman, Daniel Day Lewis and probably not a popular choice but Matt Damon has done some good films as well. What draws some of you to a film if it's not the actors?
When our children were babies a lot of shop doorways weren't wide enough to accommodate a pram never mind a wheelchair. The local cinema only had stairs, no lift, so wheelchair users or anyone on crutches couldn't get to see a film. Things are slowly changing with ramp access to lots of buildings and low placed push button opening doors but it's not before time.
The premise of the film, it's genre....things like that. The director - usually far more important in deciding the quality of a film than any of the actors.
Which is the reason why those actors I mentioned above never made a bad film, they choose which directors they will work for - there is a correlation. Some actors have turned mediocre films into great films. A good script with poor actors may not make it. imo the actors are the most important part.
Debatable. They may have put in good performances in an otherwise poor film (I'd have to give it some thought to dig up examples) However, what constitutes a good film is highly subjective. Personally I would never pay to watch a super-hero film, the whole genre is dross as far as I'm concerned, but there have been some fine actors hoovering up the cash in them.
True. There are lots of films on best ever lists that I would never want to watch. For me, there is a short list of actors whose films I would watch just because they were in them. I accept that isn't the case for you.
You mentioned Philip Seymour Hoffman - a bloody good actor. Great in Capote and Doubt (a hidden gem, it seems), but are the Hunger Games films worth watching? I don't know, but the premise doesn't appeal to me. I also couldn't take to the Talented Mr. Ripley, but I know others liked it. My point is that the appeal of a film is not in the actors imo. You can grant them a good performance in a film that you just don't like.
the hunger games are a kiddie movie. the are a sobbing Jennifer Lawrence over coming great odds, rinse and repeat 4 times. Hoffman is barely in them.
tbh i would be looking at the opposite. there's movies I would avoid cos an actor is in them. prime example is Nicholas cage I can't stand him. funnily then only national treasure is ok due to it being a kids film. I avoid his but th3n that's natural
I would agree with this. A good actor can put in a good performance in a bad film, but he or she won't make it a good film. A bad actor can completely ruin what should be a good film. Nic Cage completely screwed Captain Corelli - and not in a nice way.
Don't know that it's written into the contract or they have been told that . Yes large company ( international ) but it just so happens that the site in uk doesn't have any disabled people who would need a lift working for them. Having recently already lost a big companies custom they don't won't to lose the remaining 'big' account.
Jeff Bezos and wife are divorcing. For you single guys what this means is: There is about to be a newly single attractive woman worth over $50billion (USD) on the meat market. All you have to do is be more attentive than the man running the west's biggest retail operation... Shouldn't be too hard
