Talking to the screen[edit]

In the mainstream movie theaters of the "white Western world", like in a drama or opera performance, any audible reaction to the plot but laughing (and maybe, a bite outdated, quiet crying) is fronwed upon. Now I have heard that there are some cultures, including African-American subculture, where talking to the screen (like screaming in a horror movie, warning people of the monster behind them), known to me only from children's theatre, is common or at least has been common until very recently. I would like to read something about this interesting part of cultural diversity here, but I couldn't find any good source (the article I found that comes closest is this one from 2010). --Anvilaquarius (talk) 11:56, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-in theatre etiquette[edit]

The drive-in theatre also have their own applicable etiquette. These etiquettes include rules such as drivers dimming lights when entering the lot and keeping car lights off throughout the film such as the break lights to decrease distraction, as well as rules for bigger vehicles moving to accommodate for other movie viewers and the prohibition of littering.[1]
