Bring back Tyler Durden

After spending a week being lame, I am back in front of my computer motivated to post a new blog. Last DVD Tuesday, was a very cool day. The release of Star Trek on Blu Ray/DVD was front and foremost on most movie aficionados minds. However, for this lame fan boy, there was another important movie being released on Blu ray and that movie was Tyler Durden….er I meant Fight Club. To be honest, your not gaining much by purchasing Fight Club on Blu Ray, if you already have the DVD. The significance of the re-release, is the reminder of how frickin cool and ahead of the curve the movie was when it hit the theaters 10 yrs ago. It was the ultimate misfit manifesto, a dark and cool window of how a misfit for once in his miserable life is one of the cool kids. I fondly remember that most critics of the movie could not get beyond the violence in the movie. I found the fight scenes to be totally cool; however, it was the dialogue that made the movie for me. It was the dialogue, that I could relate to. I was in a weird space in my life, and Fight Club was a warm snuggy blanket. Tyler Durden was the epitome of cool, the ultimate wild child. He thumbed his nose against authority, lived by his own mantra, and was hell bent on causing mayhem. There are few misfits in life that haven’t at one time or another haven’t fantasized about being cool like Tyler Durden. If you haven’t seen Fight Club, or don’t remember the movie, I recommend you bring back Tyler Durden for another fantastic ride.
