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.

      Guys, just like to talk about the recent movies I saw.

      YES MAN
      ~
      Ben Button
      ~
      Vicky-Christina-Barcelona
      ______________________________

      YES MAN was ... funny but not as funny as I expected. Ben Button, just saw it today, was definitely interesting and it got me thinking, that's for sure. A good experience. Finally, V.C.B. was really something different. I see why you like Woody Allen One-Way. This was an interesting movie, loved many of the scenes, and Penelope Cruz played her part almost flawlessly. I wouldn't say this was the best movie I saw but it was something new, that's for sure. Other then Yes Man (which I doubt will be remembered by me), the other two both gave me something to think about.

        Vicky Cristina Barcelona is better than the other two, but definitely not a film to judge Woody by.

          I must agree. I haven't seen any other Woody Allen movies.

            I didn't mean it in a way that Vicky Cristina Barcelona isn't any good. I just meant to judge Woody Allen, you would have to seen his older films.

              Dead Man Walking

              Just as I had watched Mystic River for Sean Penn's performance, I was interested to see his first Academy Award nominated performance in Dead Man Walking. The film is directed by Tim Robbins, who stared alongside Penn in Mystic River, where they both received an Oscar for their roles. Dead Man Walking tells the story of Matthew Poncelet who writes to Sister Helen Prejean while on death row.

              The film jumps right to the story, without hesitation. The first half of the film does a good job establishing everything we, as an audience, need to know. Although the film is, at times, slow, this is done to build up Poncelet's life story. As we learn of his character, Robbins uses beautiful imagery to connect his character with Prejean's.

              In a scene toward the end of the film, Poncelet and Prejean speak through a glass wall. Robbins choice of using their reflections through the glass shows us just how close they have become, sticking by each other's side during this difficult time. The second half of the film is completely emotional, where we have some of Penn's greatest performances on screen. When Poncelet is forced to say goodbye to his family shows a humane side to his character. Robbins intercuts between Matthew Poncelet's execution with his crime, which provides an unbiased tone.

              Overall, the film is completely balanced, something so rare in a film today. Robbins doesn't have the audience symphatize with the character; he merely shows us all the facts from various angles and lets us decide for ourselves. While providing an unbiased tone in the film, we see the death penalty as we should, from the perspective of the criminal and the victim's family.

                    Glory At Sea 8/10

                    A very well done short film
