I know I'm nitpicking here, but there could be many reasons for someone not to laugh at quotes from that movie, and not all of them are necessarily negative to me when screening an employer. I tend to groan when I hear anything from that now 14 year old movie, because it was ok at the time, but just ok and its a signal that you see yourself as part of a hacker/dweeb culture that I personally see as having lived past its due date. There's plenty of other movies you can quote from. On a more serious note, I feel that the Dilbertization of the workspace is a problem, on both sides (employer/employee). It's essentially the replacement of idealism with cynicism, and a bad sign overall.
