I might consider adding something new to the video- having flashes of myself. In order to so, I would need a blue or green screen to create this effect.
Fight Club" came out 10 years ago next month. I re-watched it this weekend and, like the great film that it is, it still holds up. It's as relevant today as it was a decade ago.
Yes, society's consciousness toward terrorism is different (and if the movie came out today, they'd probably go a different direction than having Project Mayhem blow up a bunch of financial buildings at the end). But the messages, the visuals, the story, the art of "Fight Club" -- all still perfect.
Another great part about re-watching it: The movie has so many subtle secrets going on in the background (most of which super-subtly foreshadow the huge twist) -- secrets you'd never pick up your first time through but notice more and more with every subsequent viewing.
Tyler flashes had been one of the 11 Hidden Secrets in the Movie.

- The Tyler flashes. Before Tyler officially enters the Narrator's life when they're sitting together on the plane, he appears six times in the film. Once he's riding a moving walkway at the airport (that appearance isn't included on this list, since it's not hidden).
Four of those times, Tyler appears as a subliminal flash that occurs when the Narrator has a moment of frustration or anger during his insomnia daze. These, of course, create the foundation for Tyler.
Below are screen grabs of all four one-frame Tyler Durden appearances -- once when the Narrator is mindlessly making copies... once when he's leaving his doctor... once when he sees Marla leaving a therapy session... and once during his testicular cancer support group.
Say what you will about Brad Pitt but he really looks like he's having fun in this movie. Sure, his shirtless scenes in "Fight Club" launched a thousand male eating disorders (both manorexia AND [if I may coin a new phrase] boylemia)... but seeing how gleeful he looks, even in one-second freeze frames, makes it hard to be mad at him.
