The Ring had a hidden option to kick off "the tape" which was a lot of fun to spring on your classmates after a viewing of it. I have the awesome Memento DVD that's built up like a notebook/case file.

https://www.amazon.com/Memento-Widescreen-Two-Disc-Limited-Pearce/dp/B0000640SA There's this DVD of Memento that the menu was like a puzzle you had to solve. If you did it right, you could watch the movie in sequential order. Edit: Did not see the post above talking about the same DVD as me.

IUG posted:The bluray release goes to the main menu looking like a generic romcom film for like 10 seconds before glitching over to the Fight Club menus. Never Been Kissed is a generic romcom, but it’s also an actual movie from 1999. Here’s Rich Evans and Mike Stoklasa talking about what it was like to be extras in it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJpnzpCjmcs

Still never getting rid of this ridiculous thing  A true glimpse into that period before c. 2002-3 when they hadn't yet figured out how to put more than one disc in a 14mm case, if you had two discs you had to use one of these chonky 20mm cases

The blu ray version of this got a total downgrade on the Main Menu. That chonky cased DVD's Main Menu was footage of Ralph Steadman painting the Main Menu. The blu ray just has a drawing of the guys in the convertible with some animated straight lines moving to indicate speed. I was bummed to see that after I upgraded

King Vidiot posted:I loving love early DVDs that had gimmick packages and tons of Special Features and Easter Eggs and the main menu hosed with you. Fight Club opened with the real FBI warning that glitched into a fake FBI warning, and I think it even flashed the single frame of porn before the main menu. One of my favorite DVD menus was on This Is Spinal Tap. It basically has the three guys talking over the menu and explaining what all the options are. It's pretty great. And silly poo poo happens when you click some of the options. The original Ghostbusters DVD had a fun menu too, but I've mentioned that one every time this comes up. I miss menu gimmicks. This Is the Zodiac posted:Give me a boutique release of that, please. I am the crossover market for feature-packed fancy-packaged releases and teen comedies from the late '90s. gently caress that. If any 90s rom com deserves this treatment it's Ten Things I Hate About You. Everyone else has to wait! tonedef131 posted:I still have all these turn off the century DVDs you guys are posting about.

I'll never get use to people calling the early 2000s "the turn of the century". To me that designation belongs to the era when gentleman wore top hats and people rode penny farthings. You will never convince me otherwise.

loving lovely film Little Nicky from Adam Sandler had a crazy easter egg. If you entered a direction sequence, you’d highlighted his head, and a halo appeared. This let you watch a teaser trailer for Lord Of The Rings, which you couldn’t get anywhere else back then if I remember correctly. Then if you did that again, and pressed another button, it started the movie with a pop-up video type fact thing throughout the film. No YouTube of it, but lol, eeggs.com still exists and never updated it seems. https://eeggs.com/items/25326.html https://eeggs.com/items/26629.html

There was an easter egg on the first dvd release of Showgirls that required a complex sequence of button presses, after which it would show a repeating loop of all the Elizabeth Berkley nude scenes that lasted half an hour or something. People speculated that somebody in production put it in for private use and it was never meant to be discovered.

CPL593H posted:It's absolutely obscene what they did to that footage. It comes off as a very bizarre creative choice. The stuff that's treated as 'archival footage' from other sources isn't smeared out in the same way, which may be just because Jackson didn't have the same access to it, but it means that everything happening in the 'present' looks like it is meant to be super clean like you're in the room instead of watching footage. Which doesn't work at all because everything is uncanny smooth. e: Also, at least within the first part, the content also doesn't really add anything to the Beatles myth arc. All of the hype about how this shows what it was really like, not the acrimony of Let It Be, and it shows exactly the same dynamics. They're good musicians who are close but the whole Beatles thing is clearly getting to its end and the situation is exacerbating the friction between them.

A while back 88 Films announced a new Blu-ray of The Seven Percent Solution for release on the 19th. Then nothing since then. The old Shout one isn’t great so I’m hoping for an improvement but lack of news isn’t encouraging.

I’ll have to compare that against what the Shout one has. I’m mostly interested in the transfer since the old one kind of sucks. Not Shout’s best work. The transfer looks semi crappy, and you have to turn off the subtitles since they’re automatically on. I thought I’d gotten a bootleg from Amazon, so I sent it back and reordered direct from Shout when it became available again. Nope, not a bootleg, that’s just how it looks.

Xenomrph posted:Speaking from genuine ignorance here, tell me more. Re: the NZ film industry, he and Richard Taylor of Weta Digital, lobbied the then-right wing NZ government to pass laws designed to drastically roll back the rights of film crews. There was industrial action going on among various crew unions at the time, and despite The Hobbit never being a target of strikes, he and Taylor lied to the public about alleged threats of industrial action and claimed that Warner Bros. had threatened to move the production overseas. He and Taylor then used this opportunity to successfully lobby and already anti-union right-wing government to draft and pass the so-called Hobbit Laws "under urgency," (in which a sitting government is able to ram through laws without parliamentary and select committee scrutiny due to reasons of national importance) while bankrolling a scab fake union, the alleged New Zealand Actors’ Guild, to undermine the primary actor's union, Actor's Equity. The end result was that film crews lost their status as "employees," and among other things, health insurance coverage for the duration of the production, while unions were barred from film sets. Re: Wellington, there's a very controversial area called Shelly Bay, which was purchased from Maori in the 19th Century under very, very, very shady as gently caress circumstances by the New Zealand Company (its founder Edward Gibbon Wakefield was a shady, poo poo-arse shitgibbon of the highest order, to say the least. Calling him a loving creep is an insult to loving creeps). The land, after it was back in Maori hands, was then sold to developers - however, there was much contention over this as well, as many members of the Iwi that have historic claims, had voted against the sale. Jackson himself had also been against this land being developed - not due to any concerns over protecting the environment there or the settlement of little blue penguins, but rather, because it would obstructie-wuctie his viewie-woowies fwom his homie-womie, and bankrolled a tory candidate for the mayoral elections who ran on a platform of opposing the development - going so far as to allegedly pressure the staff at Wingnut Films and Weta into voting for the guy. Regardless of how one might feel about the Shelly Bay development, the fact is, he tried to systematically undermine the democratic process because of entirely selfish reasons.
