Preach on, brother, preach on!
To add in your other point, I frequently read with a ball game on the TV. It's not unusual for me to look up and think "4-1 in the 8th? But it was just a 0-0 tie in the 2nd!" When I read and it's a good book, I'm not very easily distracted. Same for movies. I rate movies by the number of times I look at my watch. I call it the Walker rule.
