read the handbook

The act of doing everything according to how social traditions and formal expectations dictate you should, usually for social acceptance by an individual or a group. One's ability to perform this act does not necessarily make them what they want to be.
Tessa: Wow! Max brought Niki flowers on the first date, opened all the doors, paid for dinner, bought expensive champagne, and walked her to her front door. What a great guy!
Andrew: Okay, he read the handbook, but so what? Is he actually an interesting guy?

Max: Yeah, I thought Niki was pretty cool. She seemed to know a lot about indie bands and films and ordered a chai latte at the coffeeshop. Then I slowly realized she was quoting Pitchfork with every other breath.
Tessa: Handbook-reader?
Max: Aye.

read-viewing

A method of viewing complex films (and filmed versions of plays, especially), in order to see and hear the actions of the plot, but also to read what is happening, while the story unfolds.
When teaching students complex plays by Shakespeare or Arthur Miller, an English teacher might employ the method of read-viewing of the play so that students can see what is happening while reading the subtitles/closed captions. Read-viewing engages students in the visual world of the story, which helps to improve comprehension of the literature. Ideally, this method would be used in short increments of 20 to 30 minutes, and then students will discuss and analyze what they have read-viewed.
