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.

      Based on the trailer that you have posted, the little girl's Family Name is "d'Agostini."
      It looks like a TV movie. The directors are Armenian.
      The directors' site

        She says he is my ex.
        They are conversing in Armenian (broken french/western) at the end of the first promo trailer. The little I gathered .... that she was married some "d'Agoxtini" most probably some eastern block "mafia" is getting the girl for money he ....????

        Even the directors (brothers) website is crap. MP3 no proper visuals no explanation.

          Yes, but, according to the "first promo trailer" - at 1:06 - the little girl is called Angeline d'Agostini; I'll let you decide whether it's an Armenian family or not???

          It is Western Armenian, but does not sound French Armenian - probably, recent wave of (im)migration??? What puzzles me most, at the end of the trailer, is that particular usage of "vochinch" - in that context - that is typical of Armenians from (current) Armenia???
          Just curious, what sounds "broken???"

          Yes! It is disappointing!

            L'héritage



            Normally, I review/present a movie only when I'm willing to recommend it and/or it is of interest to us, as Armenians; "L'héritage," a movie by a Georgian director, falls (exclusively) in the second category.

            It's the story of three French who travel to Georgia and, in a bus, encounter, and follow, an old man and his grandson travelling with a coffin to a village where he - the old man - is supposed to be murdered, in order to settle a family feud. The main reason - and probably only - I have watched it, is the fact that Georgia is Armenia's neighbor.

            From a technical point of view, it looks like a decent/average European/American movie - most of the crew is French; the acting is OK/average - again, the main roles are played by French actors - probably, one of Sylvie Testud's worse performances???; the scenario/script is plain. Furthermore, it did not look authentic, and, despite that all seemed more "polished" that it may be in reality, Tbilisi, surprisingly, looked like a small provincial town in "ruins" - i.e. poorly maintained.
            It's a movie that I would readily forget, and think that you won't miss much, if anything, if you don't watch it.

              Listen carefully the first sentence where she mumbles in the middle of it and ends the sentence with bari instead of bargi. She is French Armenian, I say 2ed generation probably from Lyon or Grenoble ... she has that slight French accent none Parisian, probably BolsaHay her Parents migrated in the 50's?

              The guy on the other hand I doubt it if he is Armenian. He is imitating well the language except he sounds to mechanical, it is not coming out natural like hers.

                1. At no point, she says neither "bari" nor "bargi;" the following is the transcript of the conversation

                (1:40) W: "Azad, intch bidi @nem hima bzdig@, hed@s bidi danim?"
                (1:44) M: "Hos bidi bargi"
                (1:46) W: "Ter ganoukh eh hos bargelou hamar"
                (1:50) M: "Vochinch"


                2. I don't know if she's Bolsahay, from Lebanon, or....France; but I hear no "French Armenian" accent

                It is true that he sounds a bit "rough," but does it mean that he may not be Armenian????

                  I saw "21" last week. The movie was quite good and had really nice pictures of Las Vegas but it didn't really get me too excited.

                      Consider some of his other movies, at least
                      - Umberto D.
                      - Sciuscià

                      We definitely need a Vittorio de Sica "tribute???"
