“Obviously, there's a big homage to Outland in Moon. I obviously had Ridley Scott's response, which was great. But Peter Hyams really loved Moon and was really enthusiastic about it. He was also enthusiastic about the fact we'd remembered Outland and had remembered it fondly. I think, for him, it was like some kind of edification that there were people out there who loved his film. So, that was a really lovely feeling.” PeopleThinkingKindFactsFeelingsBigsFilmMoonResponseLovelyRememberedPeterEnthusiasticHomageEdification Author:Duncan Jones
“Although the events we appear to perceive in dreams are illusory, our feelings in response to dream content are real.

“Mindfulness is being aware of yourself, others, and your surroundings in the moment. When consciously and kindly focusing awareness on life as it unfolds minute by precious minute, you are better able to savor each experience. Also, being closely attentive gives you the opportunity to change unwise or painful feelings and responses quickly. In fact, being truly present in a mindful way is an excellent stress reducer and, because of that, can be seen as consciousness conditioning, a strengthening workout for body, mind, heart, and spirit.” WayGivingMindHeartMomentsFactsFeelingsBodyAbleSpiritOpportunityConsciousnessMinutesAwarenessMindfulnessStressResponsePainfulExcellentWorkoutSurroundingsConditioningStrengtheningUnwiseMind HeartOpportunity To ChangePainful Feelings Book:The Mindful Woman: Gentle Practices for Restoring Calm, Finding Balance, and Opening Your Heart Source: The Mindful Woman: Gentle Practices for Restoring Calm, Finding Balance, and Opening Your Heart
“If we view a great mountain soaring into the sky, it may excite us, evoke an uplifted feeling within us. There is an interplay of something we see outside of us with our inner response. The artist takes that response and its feelings and shapes it on canvas with paint so that when finished it contains the experience.” IfsMayFeelingsArtistViewsSkyShapesMountainExperienceResponsePaintFinishedCanvasSoarEvoke Author:Lawren Harris
“Commentators frequently blame MMORPGs for an increasing sense of isolation modern life. But virtual worlds are less a cause of that isolation than a response to it. Virtual worlds give back what has been scooped out of modern life. The virtual world is in important ways more authentically human than the real world. It gives us back community, a feeling of competence, and a sense of being an important person whom people depend on.” PeopleWorldWayGivingHumansPersonsHas BeensImportantRealFeelingsCausesCommunityModernDependsBlameResponseIsolationReal WorldGiving BackCompetenceModern LifeCommentatorsVirtual RealityImportant PersonVirtual World Author:Jonathan Gottschall
“Don't you feel something magical when you're in love?... I do, I certainly do ... but I think that feeling of magic is a hardwired psychological response. It's a chemical thing in the brain.

“Why was the painting made? What ideas of the artist can we sense? Can the personality and sensitivity of the artist be felt when studying the work?

“One response was given by the innkeeper when Mary and Joseph wanted to find a room where the Child could be born. The innkeeper was not hostile; he was not opposed to them, but his inn was crowded; his hands were full; his mind was preoccupied. This is the answer that millions are giving today. Like a Bethlehem innkeeper, they cannot find room for Christ. All the accommodations in their hearts are already taken up by other crowding interests. Their response is not atheism. It is not defiance. It is preoccupation and the feeling of being able to get on reasonably well without Christianity.” GivingMindWellsHeartChildrenFeelingsHandsTodayAbleWantedGivenInterestChristBornAnswersRoomsChristianityMillionsTakenAtheismResponseMaryHostileCrowdedDefiancePreoccupationInnsAccommodationsBethlehemAlready Taken Author:Billy Graham

“In truth, “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” isn't about Sept. 11. It's about the impulse to drain that day of its specificity and turn it into yet another wellspring of generic emotions: sadness, loneliness, happiness. This is how kitsch works. It exploits familiar images, be they puppies or babies - or, as in the case of this movie, the twin towers - and tries to make us feel good, even virtuous, simply about feeling. And, yes, you may cry, but when tears are milked as they are here, the truer response should be rage.” FeelsShouldTryingMayFeelingsTurnsEmotionCasesSadnessLonelinessCryTearsBabyResponseRageFamiliarFeel GoodImpulseLoudWorking ItVirtuousTwinsTowersExploitsPuppyDrainsKitschGenericSpecificityWellspringSept 11Twin Towers Author:Manohla Dargis
