Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Review: Burn After Reading

    Well, the Coen Brothers (whom I love from past) were trying to achieve something here, but I don't know what. It seems like this movie was the Coen Brothers attempting to re-create another film that mimics The Big Lebowski in its style and humor (although this would be more dark comedy), when I compare it to The Big Lebowski (my favorite film of all time), it fails horribly. However, on its own, the movie is not so bad. It has some nice dark humor which is amusing at many points and funny (if you're into dark humor).

    The problem I had with this movie was it was too drastic. It seems as if the characters were just thrown in together for some reason, and I don't know what. I could see what they were trying to achieve, but it failed in the execution stage. That's where The Big Lebowski succeeded. I will say that I loved John Malkovich and to a lesser extent, Brad Pitt, as I thought these two stole the show. George Clooney was okay as well. Frances McDormand was ugly and annoying.

    I give this movie a C.

    This is a better reaction for me than the first time I saw The Big Lebowski. When I saw it first, I hated it, but upon second viewing, I liked it, and third, it was love. Perhaps this will be the same, but I doubt it.

    Good review.

    I think I will feel the same way, even though I love dark comedy.

      They were all ugly and annoying, except for Tilda Swinton.

      Have the Coens heard of the term closure?

      It's not the worst film of the year (The Happening is), but it's pretty underwhelming and disappointing considering the cast and directors.
