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.
Did they somehow miss the plot point of the movie where a TV executive was forcing cast members to work Christmas Eve instead of being with their families?
I hope the 3 ghosts have since visited whoever was in charge and sorted their shit out
I’m guessing it was less missing the point and more, “since there’s no such thing as ghosts, it’s fine for me to be Scrooge. I’ll get away with it and fuck my family anyway.”
Luigi has entered the roomI haven’t seen this movie, but Jesus I didn’t know it was insestual
See the movie. It’s terrific.
idk I try to avoid films of rape or incest
I think he meant “fuck them” as in “who cares about them”, as there is not incest or anything like that in Scrooged!
What are you talking about? It’s a comedy version of A Christmas Carol with Bill Murray.
“I’ll get away with it and fuck my family anyway”
First of all, I was talking about what the executives would be saying about themselves, it’s not a line in the film. Secondly, it’s a figure of speech.
They’re saying “fuck my family” because Scrooge is reconciled with his loving nephew’s family at the end of A Christmas Carol.
You just said “fuck my family” again
This isnt reddit, people cant take jokes here /s
I’ve been thinking of a few prominent people in real life who should be visited by three ghosts. What if we woke up on Christmas and all of the sudden Trump and Musk weren’t selfish and evil?
We’ll need the Luigi of Christmas past to help us out.
The plot is trivial, what matters is test screenings and market projections …when all one cares about is making money.
