Has anyone discovered hidden easter eggs on the RENT dvd? If so, please post how to get to them right cheer...thank ya.
(Oh and for those that will automatically say it (although not my personal belief) the film blew chunks, Columbus botched it, the ending was wrong, and all the deleted crap never should have been cut out.)
Okay. Easter Eggs...go!

Don't easter eggs mean bloopers? Like the Santa Fe girl?
Edit: I guess not
I recognize the addiction to being alive.

Thanks, Sorry Grateful. You may rise. 
DVD Easter Eggs are hidden treats added to DVDs. If navigated correctly on a DVD menu, the DVD will unlock a surprise (i.e. Easter Egg). The Easter Egg can be an additional deleted scene, a blooper gag reel, etc.
They appear on most DVDs and they make owning the DVD x-tra special.

Easter eggs are any extras that aren't advertised like the perso nabove said.
ex-on the first LOTR movie if you scroll down a list and keep scrolling there is an extra comedy thing.

They make features that are otherwise boring or inconsequential seem really special. That's about it. And they increase the time a viewer spends playing with the disk, so in some ways it seems to increase the psychological value of the purchase. They're just a fun little gimmick, much like a hidden track on a CD, that serve no purpose other than to make you think you and/or your new DVD are really special when, in fact, neither is probably true.

The 2-disc PHANTOM DVD has an easter egg.
The point? It's fun! And it's a hobby for techies. People will buy DVDs just for the fact that is has an easter egg.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 2/24/06 at 5:47pmI doubt RENT has any easter eggs that we wouldn't have known about.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 5:58pmOn phantom...On Disc 2, from the Main Menu, press DOWN all the way until you highlight 'No One Would Listen.' Then, press DOWN one more time and a corner of the border will be highlighted. Press ENTER to reveal a cast and crew singalong!

Sometimes they put easter eggs on the end of the credits if you sit there long enough (like on HP2 or Pirates of the Caribbean)... Not the case with RENT. I haven't found anything.
With easter eggs, you pretty much have to play with the navigation buttons until you hilight something you couldn't see. Hedwig has a couple...
Measure your life in love, RENTheads, and keep it always in your heart.
