Will Closure ever be released on DVD?
Initially set for release in the fall of 2004, the
Closure DVD had been caught in legal red tape due to Trent's lawsuit against his former manager. Even though Trent won the suit in 2005, the DVD has yet to be commercially released. However, it was leaked to a torrent site in December of 2006, and many believe that Trent himself was behind it.
Why was the "Every Day Is Exactly The Same" video never released?
Rumor has it that Trent didn't like how he looked in the video. Something about he looked too old. Whatever the reason is, it's unlikely that it will surface in the near future.
Was there ever a plan to do a video for "Piggy?"
Apparently there were plans for a video but since Trent couldn't find a treatment idea he liked, it was scrapped.
I heard something about a second "March of the Pigs" video. What can you tell me about it?
Before the one-shot performance video we all know, there was a more conceptual video idea, also directed by Peter Christopherson. This idea was ultimately scrapped sometime during post-production. Raw footage from this earlier concept can be seen in the bonus footage on the
Closure DVD.
Why was "Starfuckers, Inc." changed to "Starsuckers, Inc.?"
Trent didn't want it to sound like a rap video with its heavy lyrical censoring. In addition, lyrics in the interlude were changed for the video due in part to copyright concerns.
How much of "Happiness In Slavery" is real?
Bob Flanagan (1952–1996) was a masichistic performance artist who is featured in this video. Most of what you see in the video is theatrics and visual effects, but all the poking, pulling, clamping, and squeezing was real. And what he endured in this video shoot was tame compared to some of the harm he inflicted on himself during the course of his short life.
Here's an excellent page with lots of behind-the-scenes info on the video and other technical information:

I just saw the Broken Movie. OH MY GOD!!! Please tell me that isn't real!!!
The
Broken Movie was directed by Peter Christopherson and was intended to tie all the videos from the
Broken EP together. It shows a young man being forced to watch NIN videos while being brutally tortured by a masked madman. Don't worry, it's all theatrics, so none of it is real. It was meant to look like some sort of snuff film, and apparently it looked too much like a snuff film. Since Trent didn't want to have to explain it to the press, he and Christopherson had copies made for their friends with an edit made to each one so they would know who leaked it (if it happened).
Around the same time the
Closure DVD leaked, the
Broken Movie was leaked to a torrent site. This one was completely intact and was not missing any audio or video anywhere. As with the
Closure leak, Trent is widely believed to be behind this one.
Why isn't there a complete "Sin" video on any NIN release?
Apparently, TVT messed up somewhere in post-production. However, it had reportedly been sent to several clubs in the early 1990s. A complete version of the video can also be found on some file-sharing sites and video-hosting sites.
