Easter Egg Sunday

So I got rather lazy over the weekend and watched a couple of DVDs instead of preparing for school next week.

If you've been reading this blog, you'd have guessed that I kind of like movies. A lot. And I hoard DVDs, particularly those of my favorite movies. I also get a little carried away with the available extras. I'll watch movies with the commentary on, especially if it's a good one that features the cast as well.

I also happen to enjoy hunting down Easter Eggs. I first learned about this feature from playing a computer game called Leisure Suit Larry back in the mid 90s. (My brother had me corrupted; I didn't pick up that naughty PC game on my own.) If you knew how to key in the right moves or make Larry do the right things, oh, a girl here and there would lose most of her clothes or grant Larry some nice favors. Anyway, those Easter Eggs I dug up myself; my brother is innocent and probably never knew of their existence. I was pretty pleased to learn they have this feature on DVDs. No ladies stripping, but you do get nice little extras. On the LOTR extended editions, for instance, you get neat clips of Gollum up to some mayhem.

So, if you own some DVDs, you might like to check out this website for Easter Eggs. Search for the DVD title and see what comes up!
