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.

    Well then if it can't then why is it that I can watch it 5 more times and still not hate it. I usually hate watching movies more than once.

      Then it's a movie you love, not a film that "blows your mind." There's a difference.

              How do you know nobody would've cared for the film if Hollywood didin't bring it to light?

                    Mystic River

                    I came across this film so suddenly and decided to give it a watch, mostly for Sean Penn's Oscar-winning performance. The film doesn't waste a minute to grab your attention, and the story only captivates you until the second act of the film. Jimmy, Sean and Dave, as adults, are introduced very cleverly as we glimpse into each man's life for several minutes.

                    The intensity of the first and second act of the film dies down toward the end, and I felt like the pace of the film came to screeching hault. Although the narrative becomes much more powerful and through editing we feel the emotional clarity picking up between Sean and Dave, we explore common themes too deeply. The suspicion revolving around Dave drags on, which ends up affecting the ending of the film.

                    Sean Penn gives a both a powerful and emotional performance, shattering every bit of your heart with every moment he is on screen. For the first time, I actually thought to myself, an actor is imitating real life and handling a tragic event as they would in real life. Tim Robbins is very deserving of his Oscar, as well, giving us a dark and haunting portrayal of Dave Boyle. I feel, however, Kevin Bacon's performance was ignored by these two actors. Although Bacon is very walm and calm through the entire film, he definitely becomes a character I connected with and wanted to see on screen.

                    The Virgin Suicides

                    I had been looking for this film since last summer and finally came across it tonight. Sofie Coppola's storytelling, both as a writer and director, were very strong in Lost in Translation and I knew I would enjoy this film just as much. I hadn't read the novel, and had only heard very little about this film in general.

                    The Virgin Suicides, as a film, is much like I had imagined it would be. The story uncovers itself and Sofie shows you just the right amount. The audience will possibly be left full of questions, but that's clearly her intention. The pacing of the film pushes the narrative forward, and Coppola's beautiful imagery makes the perfect fantasy picture.

                    I truly love Sofie Coppola's directorial trademarks, and they have actually inspired my professional life as well. The time lapse scene is beautifully filmed and is one of the most inspirational ones I have seen on film. The Virgin Suicides tells an uneasy and emotionally haunting story, which is meant not to sit well with the viewer.

                      Mostly stayed true to the comic book, actors portrayed the characters perfectly, the storyline is great, lots of blood and sex, great use of music (especially during violent and sex scenes).

                      A little lengthy is the only complaint but I can't see how it could've been shorter so it's all good.

                      General tip: read the comics before watching the movie.

                      Final note: The Comedian is awesome!!!
