10 Most Bizarre DVD Easter Eggs
1. Blue Velvet
Blue Velvet was arguably the most polarizing release of the Eighties, with some hailing it as a twisted masterpiece that uncomfortably delved (literally) beneath the perfect construct of suburbia, to Roger Ebert, who suggested director David Lynch was tremendously cruel to his actors.
Whatever your feelings about the film, which can range from repugnance usually only reserved for the likes of Straw Dogs to re-devoting your life to cinema, it's an undeniably unique experience.
Like a lot of Lynch's work, it's also occasionally very funny. We can parse meaning and thematic resonance for days, and the conversation would be enlightening, however it would deny one thing about Lynch: he, like Werner Herzog, is fully conscious of his public persona and always has been.
The first DVD release of Blue Velvet is fairly straightforward, with just a handful of special features. True to form, Lynch has always been ambiguous about his process, and he's been vocal about a specific disdain for convenient technology - namely watching movies on phones.
So you wouldn't expect the guy who released Mulholland Dr. chapterless to offer much in the way of insight, and the Easter Egg on the Main Menu perfectly encapsulates Lynch's relationship with his audience.
Simply press down on the "Play movie" option, and be treated to an outtake of an interview with Lynch in which, without any context, he expounds on the virtues of McDonald's Fish Fillet.
