Yeah I saw them. I also noticed the cigarette marks or whatever they're called that Tyler Durden informed me about. The video quality in theaters is such sh!t. I can't wait until it's digital-only everywhere.

Why do they show an anti-piracy commercial to people who paid money for tickets? Also, I didnt see any red dots in it (maybe because I was so into the movie), but every movie I have seen since and including Kill Bill Vol. 1, I have seen them.

no, but people (including myself) made lots of loud comments during the anti-piracy commercial.
It's a screen, son. It can't hear you.

but all the people who had no idea what the commercial was about sure did, and it made me feel like a rebel!

That's about as cool as if you laughed at an anti-drug commercial, oooooooh you such a rebel!!! you go girl

Rofl! I absolutely hate people who clap during movies, or people who encourage the cast members or try to warn them.
Usually I just shoot them in the face and then finish watching the movie. =P
Yeah, what the hell was with everyone clapping? You don't clap at a movie. There were at least 5 instances when a group of Einsteins were clapping at something that happened on screen. (Yay! Go Sam! *clap clap*

I haven't seen it yet, but I have never noticed these in any other movie, including Kill Bill.
I didn't even know they existed until I heard about it here.

Saw them on Master & Commander in Toronto, and that's the only time I've ever seen them. My reaction was "WTF?! Is that that anti-pirating BS ruining my movie?" I didn't see them on ROTK though.

Same thing happened when I went to go see it. Everyone was like YAY! Something good happened... lets all clap now. I seriously wanted the badguys to win cuz I was so sick of it.
