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.

    Atom

    How many people are actually a fan of Atom Egoyan? And that does not mean that you only enjoyed Ararat. I have all of his feature films and most of his short films. He's a brilliant filmmaker; one of the best working filmmakers. I turned two of my non-armenian film-buff friends into big fans. And did anybody attend the ARPA Film Festival? Aside from your normal film festival activity, they honored him and showed Exotica, Felicia's Journey and The Sweet Hereafter on the big screen and they were beautiful.

    The Sweet Hereafter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could I forget to mention that as one of my favorite movies?? Atom Egoyan rocks a lot. I actually took a little while to warm up to Ararat, but I simply adore all his other films. Even the short films that only few and far between have actually taken the time to find and watch.. Awesome. We need to see more talented Armenian artists in the maintream. So arvestaked, are you next?

      I honestly didn't know who he was that well until the movie Ararat came out..But, after seeing that I've been really interested in seeing more and more of this man's work. He's very talented..So, which ones should I see?

          ck: You bet I am next. I am hoping to buy a camera in March so I can start on a short film which I hope to have completed by the next ARPA Film Festival. I also have 5 additional ideas I am going to work on.

          Violette: All of them:
          Next of Kin; Family Viewing; Speaking Parts; Calendar; The Adjuster; Exotica; The Sweet Hereafter; Felicia's Journey.
          They have all been released on DVD and are all in print with the exception of The Adjuster which you can probably buy at Amazon.com.

            I am very disappointed.

            You all have one week to purchase and watch all of his dvds and compose a full report for each feature.

              Atom is the best, ARARAT was one of the best movies I ever saw.
              Eventough I still dont get the sex part between the guy and the girl. But in general it sent a deep message to the world but mostly
              to armenians! WHAT is OUR fate? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE?


              P.S. Except Atom, there is this spanish guy : PEDRO ALMODOVAR
              highly recommend to watch his movies. He has a weird style to depict humans! If u like Atom, ull like Almodovar

                same here!
                and I think it's fair to mention here that I really liked the twists in Ararat!

                  yeah... we're armenian. I can't believe we were naked and having sex on screen.
                  what a shame.

                  what do you mean you don't get the sex part?
                  or are you repeating what your GRANDMA thought of that scene after seeing the movie?
