I think cable can have a role in keeping one's options open of what to view. Although I am long past the "25 year old" stage, I live in Oklahoma City - a small market (even smaller than the population would imply) and yet, when checking what movies were listed for the week, to see if there were a few to record, I filled my quota before leaving the "B's" (Anastasia, Being There, and The Bicyle Thief to name but three). And we don't even get HBO, Showtime, etc.When I was younger, and no cable, we were limited to what the networks offered. Which was predominantly poor. So now the movies are out there, and accessible for young people. It's up to the parents and teachers to point the way.
(P.S. - I've already tried to talk my 4 1/2 year old into watching "Solaris" with me. And I would have, too if my wife hadn't interfered!) :^)
I gave at the office!
