I typed "running music" into Google: just getting a bunch of nonsense back. How would you actually say that in English?

It’s honestly not even a big deal since most people already have their own custom mixes ready to go for their CDs, MP3 players, or USB-MP3 drives.

First off, I'm looking for some solid running music. I recently realized I could actually take a look through my MP3 collection, so I loaded a few tracks onto my Discman
(stuff like Survivor - Eye of the tiger and U2 - I still haven't found...) and I have to say, it definitely makes hitting the pavement a bit easier—especially when you start thinking about Survivor and how Rocky used to train for his fights. 😁

Quick request here:

If anyone feels like sharing their go-to running playlists, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

The thing is, the first movie only seems "great" if you watch it twice just to make sense of how terrible it actually is. The whole connection between the twins and that poor little girl being crushed by her mother is explained so poorly—not to mention the entire logic behind how they "breed" new generations of the master race. It's a mess.

The way they handled the exposition in this movie was a total mess—they completely botched the explanation of who belongs to whom, how the switch happened, where these twins suddenly came from, and most importantly, what the mother was actually working toward all this time. Honestly, the director basically sabotaged the whole experience by failing to clarify the very core of the story.

Maybe this will actually be enough to get me to pick up the book.

Don't go scaring me like that!!!
According to a few posts further up the thread, Scream III is actually what's playing this week.

Sophia Jones12, thanks a ton.

Could you just give me the rundown on what else showed up in The New York Times—I want to make sure I order any others if they're out there.

So, when am I actually supposed to get up to grab this DVD? I checked a couple of local CVS locations around 11:00 AM today and came up totally empty.

Terminator is gone. 😢

Is there any way to actually track down movies that have already hit the newsstands—you know, things like Apocalypse Now, Hellraiser, or Raw Passion?

Anyone know if there are any left at the local 7-Eleven?

Anyway, swapping out the old guard for some "new" political elite isn't enough. We don't just need new faces; we need a completely different breed of leadership. We need people who, even before they step foot in office, have already committed to walking away from any benefit other than what serves the public good.

We also need to overhaul the entire mindset—the core value system—that most Americans hold onto. As long as the average American thinks their only priority is looking out for themselves and making sure their immediate family is taken care of while everyone else fends for themselves, nepotism is never going away.

True democracy doesn't really exist; there are only different versions of it.

I really have to weigh in on this one. Someone posted this on the forum earlier:

"Mess with nepotism, and you're messing with the very foundation of American society."

Note: I might not be quoting them word-for-word, but you get the gist.

That’s just how things work around here. Take, for instance, if some Republican Party member out in the Central Valley, California, starts pulling strings—and because of him, the whole town swings the vote toward the GOP—the big shots at party headquarters will reward that guy regardless of his actual qualifications. Then, being a "good guy," he gets a cushy job in some federal agency or a city department where he can look out for his own people...
