Easter eggs are usually kind of a bum deal. Sure, when you finally find one it's like having a secret conversation with your favorite director ... but he's kind of a jerk, the conversation is one-sided and it's usually all about how much of a loser you are for spending a hundred hours sifting through the special features on your Firefly DVD just to find something Joss Whedon slapped together in five minutes.
What follows are the direct opposite of that: These are seven instances where the creators poured their blood, sweat and several other more unsavory fluids into creating something and put it right in front of your face ... and you didn't even notice.
Now who's the jerk, huh?

Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
Better the details you don't notice than the mistakes everyone does notice.
I don't think the mistakes are noticed. There are thousands of mistakes in almost all the movies made all the time but they don't even bother fixing them because they know the audience isn't going to pay any attention to the small ones.
We'd add Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy to the list. There are lots of similar things in there. Like building Hobbiton a year ahead of time and planting the foliage so it is grown and looks true. Or the embroidery they did on the INSIDE of actors costumes which never saw the light of day (or camera). Or how 'bout Viggo sleeping with his horse so they would bond! Lots of cool stuff.
Oh a side note, I loved cracked.com.
Some of the writing there is so funny.
I love Easter Eggs and DVD commentary. Some of them it's like if I were making a film it would be easy to tie them in like the numbers in Scott Pilgrim but number 1, did no one seriously die on his set and where was he getting all the money to fund this?
