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 still do need to see many Lynch movies like Eraserhead and Wild at Heart.

      Well, I highly recommend all of them, save for Dune. He's has screwed up yet.

        Yeah, I heard Dune is terrible. And I've been told to stay away from Lost Highway.

          Lost Highway is fantastic. Dune could have been good but he didn't have final cut. The studio butchered it.

            Can you believe that Roger Ebert gave Blue Velvet, one star out of four? On the DVD they have the Siskel and Ebert taping where they reviewed the movie and Ebert blasts it. Siskel liked it though. I always liked Siskel more.

              They're both idiots. One of them is a dead idiot but both are idiots. I've never cared about their opinions or any film critic for that matter. There is one good thing about Ebert: he gives good commentaries on DVDs when he passionately appreciates a film. Dark City has an Ebert commentary.

                Yeah, Dark City was his favorite film of 1998. I agree, most of the time his reviews lack passion. I enjoy reading Pauline Kael's reviews more. Sadly, I've only managed to read very few of them online. I want to buy her book, but I'm not sure if it's currently available.

                  Basically here is the philosophy: phuck movie critics. See whatever movie you want to see and form your own opinion. I can't stand those overpayed overrated motherphuckers called film critics.

                    Interesting philosophy.

                      Top Ten of 2004:

                      1. Sideways
                      2. Shrek 2
                      3. Before Sunset
                      4. Shaun of the Dead
                      5. Hotel Rwanda
                      6. Collateral
                      7. Kill Bill Vol. 2
                      8. Bad Education
                      9. Shark Tale
                      10. Napoleon Dynamite

                      That should give you an idea of how slow a year it was. I didn't see The Incredibles or Million Dollar Baby or several other pretty acclaimed films, but even so, there are movies on that list that have no business being on a top ten list, but they make it there by default. To be honest, Sideways and Shrek 2 were the only movies I really liked.

                      Oh, and I just didn't understand the fuss over Eternal Sunshine. It wasn't a bad movie, but come on, it's nothing special and nothing I would ever want to see again.

                      Top Ten All Time:

                      1. The Graduate
                      2. Apocalypse Now
                      3. The Godfather Part II
                      4. The Empire Strikes Back
                      5. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
                      6. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (only the extended edition, though)
                      7. The Godfather
                      8. Gone With The Wind
                      9. Chinatown
                      10. Once Upon a Time in The West

                      (I'm not taking the time to post pictures. You guys know what the posters look like.)
