Yeah, I wish that DW did have actually more communities on fiction/movies/games/w/e from a non-fandom perspective.
Heh, I try to obsess less about what LJ's doing wrong too, because really, it's not like my opinion on whatever LJ Be Doing WROOOONG Today really matters to LJ anyhow, or will accomplish anything. (It's why stopped commenting on LJ news) But yeah, I think that is what people on the site do have in common. For example, my posts here on LJ get more attention than my posts on non-LJ matters.
But yes, I do agree that it would be good to get more non-LJ users in. And your point about it becoming more attractive to LJ users/DW users as well is important. As LJ continues to create more new technical features, it can also become more competitive with DW. However, I think marketing DW to non-LJ users will demand an entirely new kind of 'talking about the site.'
