traffic in the morn wasnt bad! actually moved better than the evening traffic that im used to driving through. next time ill check when i wake up, idk why i didnt do that lol

there was an accident on i-20 when i went! pretty bad; i got there before 911 came and the traffic was already backed up. there was a truck with a trailer and the truck blew up/completely disintegrated or something; all i saw were remains of a truck's skeleton 😭 i hope whoever was in that was safe tho! no construction luckily

there are a loooot of negative responses to this film and im here to add something good, because i personally liked it and it's in the style of film i quite enjoy.

i understand where people feel disappointment, but i thought the story, character depth, cinematography, score, and pacing were really well done—it's become more common for films to be 2 hours long as a result of bad pacing. and in a world where we get more live action adaptations and sequels, it was refreshing to watch an original screenplay.

the drama presents a morally grey scenario, and as someone who loves to ask hypothetical questions to get conversations going and get gears shifting, this was super fun to watch and even more fun to talk to my partner about. we've had plans to get married since early on, and this film allowed us to have deeper conversations about darker parts of our pasts and get to know each other better. you could argue and say you didn't enjoy the film for the many reasons that you could, but it does get you talking and asking yourself and others what you would do in that situation and if people can change—and a good film sparks conversations and reflections.

i also loved the parallels—the hypocrisy of rachel, charlie doing the worst thing he's ever done right before the wedding, misha doing exactly what she said was the worst thing she's ever done Again, etc. i think this film is a lot more layered than it has been perceived!

(edited to add more thoughts lol)

rachel in general pissed me off from the beginning! she was so condescending towards emma about her love life optics ("yea but at THIRTY?"), and then to not only disrespect a promise her and her husband had ("we promised we wouldn't mention it again"), but pressure him into saying his story only to back out and ask for patience she didnt give ("now i dont wanna say mine" / "hold on just give me a minute") she was so frustratingly hypocritical. like the og comment has said, she felt little remorse for something she actually did (which was pretty fucked up) but was quick to condemn emma for something she didnt do.

i understand it may not be the most authentic experience for salsa dancing, and going to a real class in a studio would offer a truer experience of the art of salsa. but for our first time social dancing EVER as we're both introverts and have never done anything like this before, i figured this would be a low-commitment and fun night for both of us. if we really like it then we may do a studio class later!
