Now that’s some irony!

Filming began in December 1987. With Christmas approaching, director Richard Donner asked if the production could have Christmas Day off, but Paramount Pictures executives refused, insisting that filming should continue on Christmas Day. However, Donner outwitted them. At the end of the day on December 24th, he fired the entire cast and crew. Two days later, on December 26th, he rehired everyone. The break allowed the cast and crew members to spend Christmas with their families.

    A pun is a play on words. They were trying to play on your words. But ok, you’re not receptive to the idea nobody was trying to do you harm and that it was just a joke. They definitely deserved your hostility, as do I. Please continue.

      I’m seeing hostility here, but it doesn’t seem to be coming from me since all I said to you was, “that was not a pun.”

        Oh, you weren’t being hostile to me, I was just expecting it to come because I made comment. Here’s the hostility:

        Do you honestly think someone was or is trying to attack you here? That someone deliberately misreading part of a line you wrote, so they could make an incest joke, was malicious? I genuinely don’t understand.

              I guess I’m just a horrible aggressive person that just wants to fight.

              Either that, or I genuinely thought they were confused.

              Feel free to pick whichever one you think is true, because I have a feeling it doesn’t actually matter which one I tell you.

                If you genuinely thought they were confused, you could have led with that, but then that just makes your sarcastic cap-off comment even worse. That’s how you speak to people you believe are confused? I don’t buy it.

                I’m disappointed this is how our interactions end. I think I’m upset with myself that I thought better of you, as well. Time for some self-reflection.
