What, would a puritan do!

If a puritan were alive today. bear in mind i mean today-2008, I know the 17th century answers and reasons. so my question is, have the reasons subsided enough or...

1) would he categorically reject movies and movie theatres completely
or would he go see some movies in the theater- operative phrase "exercising caution? (same thing in regards to theatrical performances)

2) would a puritan listen to different genres of music? or would he simply reject all but classical? a Puritan listening to matisyahu (the fully practicing chasidic Jew rap star) ??? probably not eminem or metallica. but what about U2? Not all classical music composers were Christians.

3) would a Puritan go to Disney world? work at disney world?


so, would a puritan do the above, If not why? I used to be around the backstage areas of professional "playhouses" all the "Drunkenness and orgies and such" are no more present behind the scenes than they are in plain day light in muesems, libraries, and other places where even a puritan would go.
