I've noticed them in every film I've seen in a theatre lately. Even if
Ebert says this means the film is boring, I would of course notice stuff
like that anyway. I even noticed them in _The Phantom Menace_ and _Eyes
Wide Shut_, and I think Dennis Bingham is correct about that part being
cut too soon in the print we saw. (The second screening he saw was the
same one I saw).
