 "Unimpressed, his critics angrily shot back their usual argument, that these similar expressions must be the result of cultural influences like movies and television. Basically, it was believed that the reason everyone scowled in anger was because we had all seen John Wayne movies!
In order to settle the argument once and for all, Ekman went to a place where people had never even heard of John Wayne, let alone seen one of his movies."- Tonya Reiman, The Power of Body Language: How to Succeed in Every Business and Social Encounter (Get the book.) |
 "You don't even want to go to the movies, much less have sex. But once I got it all worked out, I sometimes go to the movies two or three times a day."
Six months after that December 2000 video, government researchers announced they had shut down a study of Prempro after finding it caused a higher risk of breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke. While the drug would remain on the market, the news startled millions of women who had believed the daily pills would keep them vigorous, sexy, and young."- Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) |
 "Sound also invaded our movies. Lee De Forest invented the sound-on-film system in 1923, and talkies had completely displaced silent movies by the end of the decade. Because these innovations had such an impact on everyday lives, affecting people in their homes and in their hours of leisure, the 1920s were a time when massive technological progress was unusually apparent to even the most casual observer.
There were, at the time of the 1920s stock market boom, many clear statements proclaiming a new era for the economy."- Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) |
 "Not possible. The movies? No way. The mall? Out of the question. Church, where Wesley was the minister? No-Lynne and Paul sat outside on the curb. Play dates? With whom} Paul Duty didn't consist of play dates.
Ordinary family life was over, practically before it had begun.
Then one night Wesley was channel-surfing and came across a scene of a child staring hypnotically at water running out of a faucetlike Paul! It was a segment on Cable News Network. The moment it was over, Wesley hurried to his computer, dialed-up the relatively new Internet, and typed in A-U-T-I-S-M.
"Lynne."- Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) |
 "You can spot a person with low aldosterone—they are the ones falling asleep at the exciting movies. When your aldosterone is low, you usually feel best lying flat, and you may find yourself announcing when you come home after a long day, "I just need to put my feet up."
When aldosterone is low, blood pressure readings are often too low and can fall below 100 (the systolic, or top number). Often such people are told that they have a great blood pressure because it is so low. But as with all things, too high or too low is not good, particularly a low blood pressure accompanied by dizziness."- Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "I'd fall asleep in movies or at soccer games, and it seemed I was catching a cold from every person I met. My interest in sex was on a downhill slide, and if someone crossed me the wrong way—watch out! I became moody, and PMS, which had never been a big issue, was unbearable. I found myself losing my temper with the very people I loved the most. I knew I was off—hormonally off—but I didn't know what to do. I had always been anti-hormone replacement. After all, I had studied Chinese medicine in order to avoid prescribing drugs and synthetic hormones." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "Aldosterone Lack of endurance, worse if upright, also sleepy when seated upright (during lectures, or movies, for example). Thyroid Worse with rest and in the morning, hard to wake up or get started for the day. Growth Hormone Payback fatigue, if you exert yourself or stay out too late. Mood Problems Depression affects some 20 million Americans, and most depressed Americans are women, perimenopausal or menopausal. We have become a nation with a high population of medicated and sedated women." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) |
 "Olympic skating videos or old Shirley Temple movies. "Everything's so dirty in these latter days," he sighed. "We try to watch things that are halfway clean."
In Keremeos, the media coverage led to unsuccessful raids by outraged locals. Townsfolk went on tirades about hypnotized youths having unnatural experiences with grown-ups. A week later, the Mounties came in and removed some preteens from the compound. The kids emerged, scowling at the surrounding press corps.
On January 13, the group received a crucial sign: a cloud shaped like a human hand had changed from white to red to white again."- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
 "HIT THE ROAD, JACK
Two things were guaranteed to stop baby Jack from crying: music and TV As Jack grew, he would bounce to music on the radio while he watched movies. By the time he was a teenager, he had become a full-fledged film aficionado, amateur jazz pianist, and well-paid professional disc jockey.
After graduating from college with dual degrees in film composition and music business, he was the top pick out of four hundred applicants for a much-coveted job with a global entertainment conglomerate."- Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) |
 "They might try to remember the names of certain books they've read or movies they've seen or actors. Whatever is important and relevant to the individual can be drawn in. It's a very effective technique and before you know it, you're asleep.
"There is a period just prior to falling asleep when we sort of give up the world that surrounds us. Because this period of giving up the world means a kind of loss of activity and structure, it has a certain element about it that we call regressive anxiety. The presence of the bed partner whom we sleep with night after night reassures us."- Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |
| "Jack finally left work on disability, giving him a chance to revisit his love of music and movies. He knew in his heart returning to corporate life would disable him permanently. Jack began to explore alternatives, visiting with friends and meeting with industry sources. Fourteen months later, he began the first of a series of jobs making independent films, and he found the work thrilling. On his first job, the PA-related symptoms lessened significantly.
Two years later, without a single dose of antibiotics, Jack has vastly reduced his dependence on immunosuppressive medications." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) |
 "There are many new avenues for international distribution of movies and television shows, notably cable television, home video, and videodisc. With each new "window" of distribution, some time elapses. A hit movie might show up on cable television six months after its theatrical release, and then on videotape and videodisc a year later. But non-hit movies can have a more erratic distribution time frame—B-movies like horror movies or kung-fu flicks might not even hit theaters, let alone home video, until many years after they are shot."- David Feldman, Imponderables The Solution to the Mysteries of Everyday Life (Get the book.) |
 "She played soccer and liked to hang out at the beach and go to the movies. At sixteen, she was happy about getting her driver's license and was so responsible that her parents gave her easy access to the family car.
With her older brother away at college and doing well, sixteen-year-old Emily received as much attention as she wanted at home. Other than an occasional teenage drama over what to eat or what she should wear, she had no conflicts with her parents. She felt close to her mother and liked her stepfather whom she affectionately called "a good guy." Emily had known him her whole life."- Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "Father and son often watched television and movies together and discussed the themes. It's a Wonderful Life was a favorite. At some point during the few days he was taking Concerta, Mike also watched and recorded a television show called Port Charles, which was about angels. Mike and his dad frequently watched this show together. It featured a teenage girl who had died and been sent back to Earth as angel. This particular segment of the weekly show, according to Mr. Bradley, had a very tender love scene between two teenagers." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "Chapter 11 A Courtroom Christmas Story UNLIKE TV movies about the courtroom, the trials in which I have testified have seldom produced much humor; they are deadly serious and incredibly stressful. This particular case was no exception, except for the storybook ending. The case also illustrates the dangerousness of even mild spellbinding that leads an individual to underestimate the degree to which a drug has made him sleepy. Once again, I was working with Barry Chafetz from Corboy and Demetrio in Chicago." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "The essay was written in response to a discussion question about parents censoring what their children are exposed to on TV, in the movies, or on the Internet. Mike weighed the pro and con arguments in a seemingly rational manner and concluded that parents need to monitor their children's entertainment. In his concluding remarks, Mike described a song about suicide and warned that music like that could encourage a child to hang himself, breaking his mother's heart." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) |
 "If your child enjoys movies like The Little Mermaid, you can suggest swimming as a fun activity. If he or she is enamored of Harry Potter, you can't easily enroll your child in sorcery, witchery, or wizardry classes, but you can certainly suggest football or soccer, games upon which "Quidditch"—the fictional airborne game enjoyed by the characters in the book—is based. A little imagination and correlative thinking will serve you well in discovering an activity that your child can get enthused over. (See the Suggested Activities sidebar on page 170 for ideas.)

 "Stress can also result from poor nutrition, too little sleep, too little exercise, and even by imagined experiences, such as frightening dreams or movies. There is almost no end to the things that stress us out.
I do a lot of work with veterans. About two years ago, a fifty-five-year-old veteran of the Vietnam War came to my office seeking help with his symptoms associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a problem that affects a large number of war veterans involving the subconscious and conscious repetition of trauma and a heightened vulnerability to stress of any kind."- Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) |
 "Judging Amy, Law and Order, The West Wing, House, and Grey s Anatomy have featured psychiatrists and psychologists who are not idiots, a rarity in the history of movies and television. (It used to be said that the positive portrayals of psychiatrists showed them sleeping with their patients, while the negative portrayals had them both sleeping with and then killing their patients.) Some—by no means all—of the shrinks in these TV dramas are smart and attractive and stable; they often deliver essential testimony or clinical information that helps the patient or solves the crime."- Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "They present characters that are charming, brilliant, and sexy, in addition to being seriously disturbed. Both movies were rewarded with a slew of Oscar nominations. In recent years, in fact, one's chances of getting nominated for an Oscar are greatly enhanced by playing a character experiencing mental dysfunction. In almost every year over the last decade, actors have either been nominated for or won Oscars for portraying a psychiatric disorder." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "To be sure, the most common portrayal of mental illness, both in the movies and in the headlines, is still the violent schizophrenic. But given its sordid history, the image of mental illness has quite improbably and suddenly become nearly chic. We have seen an emergence of "psychiatric chic," akin to the "heroin chic" of models and downtown artists." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "The favored confessional platform is The Oprah Winfrey Show, where celebrities like Colvin and Linda Hamilton, the tough female action star of The Terminator movies, divulge their inner torments on shows called "Depressed, Mentally 111, and Famous." Even sports figures have proclaimed their biochemical deficiencies: Ricky Williams, formerly the NFL's leading rusher, and Terry Bradshaw, four-time Super Bowl champion, paired up to do ads for Paxil. (Williams claims that Paxil cured his anxiety, and Bradshaw his depression.) Julie Krone, Hall of Fame jockey, has endorsed Zoloft." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) |
 "Although he began to modify his eating habits somewhat after the first surgery, for most of his life, Abe had eaten a high-fat diet: aged steaks from his father's grocery fried in butter; freshers—half a pound of corned beef on a heel of bread; chopped liver with schmaltz, which is pure chicken fat, once a week; a big plate of waffles after the movies on Saturday nights. Abe, a career health-care planner and consumer advocate, had paid considerable attention to health matters over the years. And as he says: "When a cholesterol of 250 was normal, I met the standard."- Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) |
 "Consumers in general in the United
States spend nearly $21 billion annually on nutritional supplements alone—$4 billion more than what they spend each year on going to the movies and video rentals combined.
Even so, the vast majority—61 percent—of American patients don't feel comfortable discussing the alternative therapies they use with their physicians. Nor does the typical physician probe about diet or supplements when seeing a patient during a routine visit."- Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
 "They were talking about what sounds they'd utter in the acoustically perfect room, how the air would smell, and what it would feel like to be inside the monument that they'd seen in movies and documentaries since they were children.
The key to our mystery is this: In the belief of the group, they were already inside of the Great Pyramid. Just as Neville had described in his conversation with the young boy's grandmother, they were assuming the feeling of their wish fulfilled. In doing so, they shifted their focus from how long the bus trip would take to what it was like to be in the pyramid."- Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) |
 "He allows us to create our own movies. Nobody else can make the choices for us. And nobody else is ultimately to blame for our circumstances either, because that is to still be stuck in victim mode. That is why Jesus said to his followers?if they believed and practiced the truths he was telling them?You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."2 However, throughout the Bible, Jesus always expected the other person to take the first step. When the desired change, such as a healing had happened for a person, he would say, "Your faith has made you whole."- Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) |
| "While the movies like to answer such questions through the existence of a mysterious "architect" lurking behind the scenes, we may find that it's actually something much simpler. . . yet even more profound.
Did the Great Programmer Leave Us a Manual?
Early in the movie Contact, the main character, Dr. Arroway (played by Jodie Foster), is part of a research team that receive an encrypted message from deep space. Before they can decode it, the team must find a key that tells them that their translations are correct." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) |
| "These types of images might come if your subconscious is holding on to too much terror, which would be the case if you've been exposed to frightening events in real life and/or too many terrifying images (including too many horror movies). If this type of experience arises for you under hypnosis, just shut it down. You can stop any hypnotic experience just by saying to yourself, "No, I'm out of here." You can then choose to go on to another event or emerge yourself from the hypnotic session altogether by counting from one to five and opening your eyes." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "There's a reason why movies like the Lord of the Rings trilogy are so popular. Many people resonate with Eowyn (the princess warrior archetype), Frodo (the humble savior archetype), or Gandalf (the wise sage). You can also weave a little dramatic expression into your day-to-day living by experimenting with role-play, comedy, and improvisation. You know the old adage, "More truth was said in jest than ever was said in sorrow." In the late evenings, my family members often gather in the kitchen." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) |
