The first rule of Fight club is One Does Not Mention Fight Club.
I’d pay good money to see that in the theater.

It fricking cracked me up.
I was crying real tears of laughter when they did the poster that said: “In 1810” and they’re all club dancing in their Victorian dresses.

I Googled writer/director/actress’s Emily Janice Card’s name to see if she’d created any other videos. I didn’t find any, but it looks like she’s the daughter of science fiction novelist Orson Scott Card. (!)
