"Easter Eggs" on "LotR: Fellowship" Extended Edition DVD

[KenM]

Bitter about Easter Eggs?
Wow.
That's just... SAD.

They're just extra stuff. You don't HAVE to look for them. And you definitely don't have to pay for something to find out what they are. There's this thing called the internet.

The average easter egg is just a silly little clip hidden behind a selectable piece of menu background.
Like the egg on the X-Men DVD where Spider-Man shows up in one shot and everyone laughs.
The Harry Potter DVD makes you play games to get the deleted scenes but they listed the games as an extra on the box.

These things are just...FUN. You guys remember fun, don't you?

Well lets see, in order to USE the internet, you have to pay for it. Like I said before, If i wanted to play a video game, I would buy a video game. But don't make me look for something or play a game just to get to the fetures. The DnD movie DVD was like that too, you have to go though this little game just to get to the extra stuff. Why can't they just list it normally, yes to some people its fun, but i just want to see whats on the DVD, not have to look for hidden things.

Dude, you paid for the DnD movie. I think that easily makes you someone who will pay for just about anything.

Generally easter eggs are BONUS bonus features. Treats. Might as well complain that on Halloween, people should bring candy to you so you don't have to do the leg work, because hell, you bought the costume.

Acually, someone gave the DnD DVD to me as a gift.

I will have no fun.
Fun is the Mind-killer
Fun is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fun.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fun has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Sounds like somebody don't like surprise birthday parties.

Honestly, you don't HAVE to find the Easter Eggs. If you bought the DVD for the movie, then watch the movie.

This just isn't true. I was using this logic: If someone is posting on ENWorld, they have ALREADY decided that it is worth paying for their internet however they get it. Taking the 30 seconds to do a google-search for dvd easter eggs instead of reading one extra post on ENWorld does NOT cost anything.
I bought a computer. I pay my DSL every month. I pay my rent so I can sit here and my electric bill so the computer will work too. With or without the search for easter eggs.
There is NO additional cost.

I think the easter egg nay-sayers are all just grumpy.

I'm just saying you usally have to pay a fee for internet use, be it with AOL, MSN, AT&T or whoever. Thats not free. Thast like saying using my car is free, but i have to pay for gas, ect. I like DVD format, its a better picture, and I usally watch the commeraries, deleted scenes, ect. But If i spend my money on a DVD, I want to spend my time with it watching the features/ extras, not hunting for them.

 

[Ranger REG]

You've already have a lot of features on the Extended Edition DVDs. Are you still complaining because of two hidden eggs? I mean how important is it for you to watch the spoof or the theatrical trailer of The Two Towers (currently in movie theaters)?

Besides, we've just given you the instructions on how to access those eggs.

 

[KenM]

I know you told us how to access them on Fellowship exdended. But all i'm saying is in general companies should allow easy access to EVERYTHING on the DVD. As said in my last post, I want to watch the special features, not look for them.

 

[Dr Midnight]

You do get access to everything on the DVD... except for two things, both of which are BONUS FEATURES. They're not listed on the packaging or in the advertising materials. So, for your money, you got everything you thought you were paying for. Now, hey, there are two extra features that are hidden on the DVDs somewhere. That is supplemental. It's a bonus to everything you paid for.

Weak analogy: If your boss decides to hand you a five dollar bill, you don't get to complain that he should have included it in your paycheck for the week.
