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.

    Upcoming Film: Revolutionary Road

    Revolutionary Road is a film by Academy-Award winning director Sam Mendes, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslett. The screenplay is written by Justin Haythe and based upon the novel by Richard Yates.

    The film is set in 1955, and revolves around Frank and April Wheeler, self-assured Connecticut suburbanites who see themselves as very different from their neighbors in the Revolutionary Hill Estates. April is an aspiring actress who yearns to move to Paris, while Frank copes with toiling away at a corporate job he despises by drinking too heavily and engaging in an affair with a co-worker. The couple's marriage slowly dissolves into an endless cycle of bitter arguments and jealous recriminations.

    This will mark the first time DiCaprio and Winslett are starring in a film together since their blockbuster hit Titanic in 1997. This will also be the first time Kate Winslett has worked with her husband, Sam Medes.

    I provided an HD download of the trailer. It's quite amazing and I'm really looking forward to this film. DiCaprio is definitely my favorite actor, and I love Winslett's work as well. Sam Mendes is a beautiful filmmaker and I have no doubt this film will be executed properly. There is so much emotion is this trailer, especially towards the end. This film is a testament to why I love filmmaking; capturing real life emotions and displaying them on screen.

    Revolutionary Road will be released on December 26, 2008.

    Re: Upcoming Film: Revolutionary Road

    I haven't read the novel by Richard Yates and can't really decide if I want to. Usually, I would love to read a novel before seeing the film. In the case of this film, however, it's some of my favorite cast and crew working together. Their ideas will be so fresh and original, especially with the Oscar talks, I know it might be a much more memorable event if I go in fresh myself.

    I can't stop watching this trailer. When I first heard about the film, I was fascinated because Leo and Kate were going to work together again. Their chemistry is amazing, and Leonardo is definitely my favorite actor. His ability to take on his characters is mezmorizing. I also loved the idea of having a story set in the 50s. In my opinion, the 1950s was a time where there was a certain class attached to the life in America. American cinema was just developed and had already made its fair share of classics. The way Americans spoke and dressed was so beautiful. I can only imagine what the production design of this film will be like. I love how men used to wear hats and the entire "classic" American life is so appealing.

    Then again, that's exactly what this film will touch on. The idea of giving up your dreams and settling down to start a family. In the case of Frank and April Wheeler, they each gave up their dreams to get married. It will deal with their dysfunctional marriage and how they keep hope alive. The tagline describes it best, "How do you break free without breaking apart?" Thomas Newman's score along with the cut of the trailer is so beautiful. If you've seen it, near the end, when Winslett asks "Just because you've got me trapped doesn't mean you can bully me..." and DiCaprio snaps and says "YOU! IN A TRAP!" The next cut is of him hitting the car door with his hand and it flows so beautifully with the score.

    I certainly cannot wait and I hope ths film gets the nominations it deserves.

      ‘Revolutionary’ Screening
      Posted by Kristopher Tapley on November 15th, 2008

      I’m not allowed to get into my thoughts on “Revolutionary Road” in any real detail yet, but we’ve got a real Best Picture contender on our hands, one driven to that status by a dynamic blend of powerhouse performances that won’t likely be forgotten any time soon.

      Leonardo DiCaprio, joined on stage right now with director Sam Mendes and the cast for a post-screening Q&A (in front of a massive SAG audience that appears to have enjoyed the film), just described his response to the material as like being “a fly on the wall…I felt embarrassed.” I think that comment sums up both the power of Richard Yates’s incredibly truthful novel and the apparent success with which it has (finally) been brought to the screen.

      ---

      Ealy word is very positive and the Oscar buzz is already growing!
