I found that easy, thanks to some equipment to boost Elly's ether (I think I bought those in Nisan, if you get there before you should).

Sorry, I tried to not spoil any more than miss Noah did :(.

EDIT: In retrospect, I think I was the worst sopiler. Sorry again :(. I mostly never think of battles as spoilers.

Okay guys, I need your help! And before you all ignore me again, as you propably did before, at some point that I can't remember, just think about all the times that I've helped you people!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqk29SSi-3Q

I'm searching for the song that starts at 7:24 and plays through the rest of the video but it's not on the OST. So, does anyone know where to find it or if it even exists outside this movie.

Youtube, what have you become!

Anyway, what I mean is the game show's opening theme from The Running Man.

It doesn't exist on the soundtrack, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere. I'll try to find it for ya.

Hey, man!

I did some searching, and i was able to find some info. Appearantly, the song's name is Paula's Theme, and it's performed by Jackie Jackson and Glen Barbee. I haven't been able to find it yet tough. I'll do some more searching when i get home.

Later!

That's good news, if it has a name, it must exist somewhere. Thanks.

My shoulder is doing much better, thanks! I still have to be careful about it happening again, but it's solid for now.

Why can't you help me find the song I'm searching for? :(

Please Mr. Beef, use all your non sleeping time for my benefit.

I'm gonna send you some cucumbers in return. They're a little old, but they still taste somewhat similiar to how cucumbers are supposed to taste like, so I'm sure you won't mind. :)

I love the way it looks. It is way more "clear" than in the book though, the book is way trippier.

The trippyness of the book is part of what made it so good (not that I'm saying the movie was bad), more books should cut to excerpts from medical literature mid-sentence.

The commentary track for the movie has the authors daughter commentating, it's worth a listen if you have the time.

That movie is in a lot of ways the only way it could ever have been done. Almost entirely due to the scramble suits.

Sadly I can't grab the book and re-read it because I pushed it on a friend, who then didn't read it and probably let his car eat the book alive >:(

I liked this film. (I didn't read the novel, though.)

The thing I disliked about them is that the way they are shown is far different from the way they are described in the movie itself (scrambled-looking persons), because the director decided to slow down the special effect : now we can clearly see the changing pattern in the released film.
