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.

    I've been a fan of Bill Maher for quite some time now so I decided to give this film a watch. I didn't get to see it in theatres even though I wanted to. The film is pretty fun because you can tell Maher got under the skin of a lot of people which was his objective. He raises some very good questions which can't be answered. Everybody getting interviewed ended up making a fool of themselves, too.

    I only wish Larry Charles filmed Borat the same way he filmed this. Religulous was strictly a documentary whereas Borat had a plot which seemed way too fake. Religulous is strictly in and out guerilla interviews which is what documentary's are about. I did feel like the film ran a little long because half-way through there wasn't any change of material. The film could have been cut down but other than that it was pretty funny.
    Told you, you would like it.

    It was awesome but, yea, I agree, it was too long.

                Burn After Reading

                There's really no need for me to go into details about this film; it is what it is. I certainly think the reason why many people were so disappointed is because it's such a small film; they expected too much.

                This isn't a film you should compare with other works from the Coen brothers. It's small, quite hilarious at times and contains a lot of subtext -- which most viewers, I'm guessing, missed. Great cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki whose work I absolutely love. Burn After Reading is a small little film that isn't made to be anything special. I call these throwbacks; enjoy them for what they are.

                I love dark comedy and it worked quite well in this piece. I think most people brushed this off because they didn't get a lot of the material. These people should give this film a second chance... or start watching better films in general.

                    The House Without A Christmas Tree

                    Sort of a tradition to watch this movie with the family every (secular/Western) Christmas. The plot is kind of predictable (it's an older movie; the title pretty much gives the story away ) but it's a nice little movie that puts you right in the Christmas mood. Originally a made-for-TV movie.

                    8/10 (taking into consideration it's only supposed to be a "dinky" little movie.)
