  2. "like yelling advice at actors on-screen in movie theatres."

    I once let myself be talked into seeing "The Exorcist" at a theater in a largely black neighborhood.

    I saw the movie all right. Didn't hear any part of it. But I saw it.

    It might have some relation to the "call and response" custom in their church services.
