Non plus in response to other statements?

All the examples listed for when "non plus" is the appropriate response for sentences that include "ne ... pas." I am curious if you can use "non plus" if the negative adverb is other than "ne ... pas"? 

E.g., "Je ne vais jamais au cinéma." "Moi non plus"


Also, what if the statement is positive and you respond in negation? E.g., "J'aime la vanille" and I don't like vanilla. Do I say, "moi non plus," or is "moi non" the right response? 

Thanks!

Hi Emmanuel, 

Moi, non plus = me neither 

so you are agreeing with the negative statement.

In answer to a positive statement, you could say -

Moi, non = I don't

Je n'aime pas le chocolat noir ----> moi, non plus   ( you agree)

J'aime le chocolat noir ------> moi, non  ( you disagree)

Hope this helps!
