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.

      Just saw "the Wrestler." It was a decent film, but definitely not ever a candidate for best picture at any award. I give it a 7 out of 10.

        Which is why it's not getting any talk for Best Picture. It's a performance film and worthy of all its recognition.

          Just saw, Gran Torino, Milk, Frost/Nixon, and Revolutionary Road yesterday. I'm going to see doubt or Slumdog Millionaire tonight. Frost/Nixon and Milk were pretty decent, but Gran Torino and Revolutionary Road we're definitely the best. I can't decide if I like G.T. or R.R better though

              THE READER
              Directed by Stephen Daldry

              I watched this film in the afternoon; I hadn't done that for years! It had begun to rain and since that always leaves a depressing mood, I thought it would be quite settling to watch this film.

              To begin, I should say I hadn't done any research about The Reader. I haven't read the novel and wasn't particularly interested in the film. I mainly wanted to give it a watch because of its acclaim but went in expecting a mediocre film. To say I was completely impressed by the film would not be correct. I did, however, enjoy the film much more than I had imagined. Certain parts stood out, such as the structure of the film and the third act of the film.

              The direction was much better than I expected and Stephen Daldry's nomination is well-deserved. Kate Winselt gave a fine performance and, at times, was captivating in her scenes. A dissapointment in the film was David Kross, whose inexperience became quite a problem. At times, he was fairly good at what he was trying to accomplish. At other points in the film, his acting felt awkward.

              The overall story of the film wasn't as impressive as I imagined and were also predictable. The ending was better than I hoped and wasn't as "cheesy" or "Hollywood" as I figured. However, there wasn't much substance to hold onto and I felt as if the story didn't know where to go at certain points. Overall, it was a solid film worthy of its recognition.

                I'm disappointed in myself; I didn't see two out of my list.

                    Maryse Alberti, the cinematographer, and Aronosfky shot this film with an Arri 416 Super 16mm camera. The camerawork allowed us to feel the real human nature of these individuals. Randy's relationship with his daughter is heartfelt throughout the film as they struggle to make senese of their role in each other's lives. The gritty nature of the cinematography allows us to actually feel their emotions. If the acting and camerawork is not enough, Clint Mansell's beautiful score hypnotizes you and lures you into their world.
                    Is he still doing the repeating sequences like in Pi and Requiem?

                      Re: Review: Oscar 2008 Films

                      Hi guys. Quick question.

                      Did you all like the Dark Knight? Most movies I can watch here like for free, just have to find myself some time. So the day before yesterday, I brought home the Dark Knight (couldn't find an English copy for a while), Eagle Eye, and Madagascar 2. Being a writer myself I watch pretty much everything lol so that's why my selection of movies might seem strange. Coming back to the discussion, I haven't watched any of the movies you guys mentioned so far but I'm looking forward to checking them out. In Armenia, we get movies pretty quickly but since I don't know Russian, I have to wait for an English copy. The Russian translations suck a lot of the time though so I wouldn't watch the Russian versions even if I knew Russian perfectly. I've fallen pretty back but want to start catching up with all the movies towards the end of this month.
                      THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!
