Dave,
I actually read that same article and thought it was a great "icebreaker" with folks you don't know, etc. I'll have to give it some thought though. Recently I did see some previews of movies coming up that look dreadful - horror, sci-fi, other world stuff that doesn't do much for me so I probaby won't see them.
I do agree with Kathleen in that I think, at least speaking for myself, that we saw a lot of movies growing up and that has continued to this day for me. We don't have TV, (but do have a set) so we watch videos, dvds, etc. and go to the movies regularly. My daughter as well does not have her TV connected and only watches videos and dvds as she feels its better for her children to not be impacted by all that television "has to offer".
