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 hope understanding this concept helps you as you continue to explore our species’ many cultures and languages before returning to your home planet.

        Man, the stress of moving and the world in general must be really getting to you. They were just making a pun based on what you said. It might not have been a very good one , that’s subjective, but the intent was clearly not malicious. It’s pretty hard to give you the benefit of the doubt here, responding so pettily and meanly to something so innocuous. They even explained it for you. I’d probably have responded with a Wikipedia article on puns before blocking you entirely.

        I hope things improve for you once you’re in the UK.

            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.

                  No, I honestly do not think that.

                    So then why did you feel justified in responding like that?

      Well, if you don’t consider your spouse to be family, then I suppose you shouldn’t ever fuck your family. If you do consider your spouse to be family then, first, it’s the only family you should literally fuck, and second, that is how you get more family.
