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.

    Re: Anyone interested in mobster movies?

    If you're talking about gangster films then I've got some suggestions:

    The Godfather - Beautiful cinematography, great filmmaking by Copolla and a wide range of great performances.

    Goodfellas - One of my favorite gangster pictures probably because I can classify it in a level all on its own.

    Scarface (1932) - I perfer the original Scarface over the Al Pacino one for many reasons.

        Re: Anyone interested in mobster movies?

        So you've seen the original Scarface? If you haven't, you should. I love older films so I may be biased but I truly think it's a better film than the remake.

        I've heard Little Ceaser and The Public Enemey are great films but I haven't seen them yet. They're both from the 30s, though.

        Oh, Mean Streets is a great film. It's by Martin Scorsese and stars Robert DeNiro. Which reminds me, Who's That Knocking On My Door is great too. It's not really that "gangster" of a picture but in a smaller scale. Casino, as well. All by Scorsese.

        French Connection is supposed to be really good too along with Once Upon a Time in America. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are both excellent films by Tarantino. I think they're great because they're on another level; something new to the gangster film genre.

        Guy Ritchie's films may be considered for this genre as well; Snatch., Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are all on new and different level of crime films.

              Yeah, but then again, if you go back to early film history, there was so much more than there are today. You have to remember, one of the strongest genres of early film were gangster pictures. One of the first films, The Great Train Robbery, was a gangster film.

                The Al Pacino Scarface is the most overrated movie of all time.

                  It definitely is.

                  That doesn't mean it's not a good film. De Palma is a great director, which reminds me, check out Carlito's Way if you haven't. However, it is very overrated. I've seen so many worship that film and buy the posters... that's overboard. One of the reasons why I appreciate the original so much more.
