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.

    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.
