Just finished The Boroughs, and honestly, it turned out to be a great series. But I'm a little confused about the ending.

SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠️

In the final episode, there's that scene with Dr. Octavius at the end. Does that ending imply that Edward actually caught a real owl?

I'm curious how y'all interpreted that final scene👀

I watched Jurassic World: Rebirth a while ago, and this movie still hasn't left my mind... not because it was good, but because of how unbelievably disappointing it was.

Seriously, who wrote this script?

This movie genuinely motivated me to become a story writer because if THIS gets a multi-million-dollar budget, then surely I can come up with something better.

I almost wasted my money watching it in 4DX because I thought, "Dinosaurs in 4DX? This is gonna go crazy." It would've been my first 4DX experience too.

Luckily, I waited.

Instead, my first 4DX movie ended up being F1, which I never even planned to watch. Funny how life works. The things you plan don't happen, and the unexpected ones turn out to be better. That movie was actually worth the money.

Anyway... back to Jurassic World.

This whole movie felt like it was written just to get Scarlett Johansson in the franchise. I heard she's been a huge *Jurassic Park* fan for years and always wanted to be in one. Cool. Doesn't change the fact that the script was cooked.

The movie had one thing going for it...

Consistency.

It disappointed me from the first scene to the last.

The only character I actually liked was the villain.

Then you've got these "elite mercenaries" who can't do the one thing they're paid to do. Who hired these bums? Half the team looked like they were recruited off Craigslist five minutes before the mission.

And the dad...

My brother in Christ, why are you taking your entire bloodline into a restricted dinosaur-infested ocean? Then everyone's shocked when the boat gets flipped. He should be flipping burgers in home...

Who could've seen that coming?

The boyfriend was a complete bum too. Me personally? I would've slimed his trash ass with how he was acting. And the daughter somehow picked the worst possible dude. Match made in hell.

Then the mercenaries decide to risk the entire mission to save this family, and instead of being grateful, the family acts entitled the whole time.

Especially the daughter.

I'm sorry, but if I was the villain, I would've saved them... just to drop them right back off on Dinosaur Island.

And don't even get me started on the plot armor.

This girl is out here inflating a giant raft RIGHT IN FRONT OF A T-Rex...

...and the T-Rex just forgets it's a predator.

Then later everyone acts like the villain is evil because he didn't save them while the boat was literally falling apart.

Meanwhile she's busy trying to call someone instead of, I don't know...

HOLDING ON TO THE BOAT.

Actions have consequences.

Except apparently not in this movie.

The only genuinely decent scene was the guy with the flares calling in the helicopter while that massive forehead mutant dino showed up...

Then everyone survives.

The end.

Like...

WHAT?

Also, why was this rated PG13 where I watched it? What exactly did the censors see?

If you watched this in theaters...

I'm sorry for your loss.

Let's hope the next Jurassic movie is made by people who actually understand what makes this franchise special.

Jurassic Park is literally a gold mine. It's one of those franchises where the potential is endless.

Instead, they gave the keys to the kingdom to a jester...

Just finished No Country for Old Men and I gotta say, the movie was genuinely great. The shootouts, cinematography, acting, atmosphere everything was top tier.

And Sugar was an absolutely peak villain. Every time that dude appeared on screen, it felt like homelander himself had entered the room.

But are we really supposed to believe Sheriff Bell was the mc👀 Hell nah. The real MC was Llewelyn , aka the hitchhiker dude. Bro was going toe to toe with one of the most terrifying villains in movie history.

Llewelyn was actually a decent guy too. He came back to give water to the guy who got shot in the desert. Was it a dumb move? Absolutely. From there the movie was peak. Bro survived cartel shootouts, got hunted across states, almost got his ass cooked multiple times, and somehow kept going.

SPOILER ALERT ⚠️

Then he gets officially smoked... and not even by Chigurh.

You're telling me after all that bro got slimed OFF SCREEN😭🥀 his wife's old-ass mother couldn't keep her mouth shut and basically got him found? That's how my guy goes out?

And the biggest crime of all...

WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR THE SHOWDOWN.

I mean WE all expected the final battle between Llewelyn and Chigurh. That would've been absolute cinema💯

Instead the directors just smashed the entire pot and said naah 🫠

I genuinely thought Llewelyn would come back somehow. Like he had some master plan, got another guy killed, faked his death, and disappeared. Some Better Call Lalo typa move.

But nope. Bro was just ded💀

Then the movie ends so fast I was sitting there wondering if I accidentally skipped 20 minutes.

And don't even get me started on Mrs Llewelyn, She could've just called heads or tails. This is why, kids, sometimes in life it's okay to gamble with life😀

Also shoutout to the Zombieland guy. Bro showed up, figured out everything in like 3 hours, knew Chigurh was dangerous as hell, and still went after him anyway.

Got smoked 🕊

Respect tho..

In football terms, No Country for Old Men is like Bradley Barcola. Great player, beautiful dribbling, creates chances, looks amazing on the ball...

...but can't finish. 😭

Am I the only one who feels robbed by No Country for Old Men's ending?👀

I gave Widows Bay a shot, and honestly, it turned out to be peak. Meanwhile, From just keeps disappointing people with a trash plot and annoying characters.

I had really high hopes when From first released. I actually gave it a try after seeing a YouTube Short with that scene where the grandma asks them to open the widow, and that dumb kid opens it lol. That was a peak season. But after that, it all went downhill from there.

And the Yellow Man too... what a disappointing character. I honestly do not get why people hype up that old fart so much.

I still keep hoping From will cook with the latest episodes on Sunday, but it is always a disappointment. It feels like watching a match where my team is 2–0 down and I am still hoping for a comeback, but deep down I already know it is over. That is exactly how I feel about From now.

Then I binge-watched the entire Widows Bay and I was honestly damn impressed. The music, the plot, everything — I loved it man. Waiting for Season 2 already.

This is how you make a great horror series.

I might be dih riding it at this point, but it deserves it, man. Let us all hope From locks in in the end at least.

If From drops the ball on the ending too, the writers should start flipping burgers because apparently they're better at serving buns than answers.

Student accidentally got hit with an ₹11 lakh AWS bill while learning AWS — looking for advice

​

I'm honestly freaking out right now and hoping someone here has been through something similar.

​

I'm a student and have been learning AWS while working on a small academic/personal project. Around March, I was experimenting with a Django backend and database setup. I thought I had cleaned everything up afterward, but recently I discovered that an Aurora/RDS setup had been running the whole time without me realizing it.

​

The result is a bill of over ₹11 lakh (~$13,000).

​

There was no business, no customers, no production workload, and no revenue involved at all. This was purely a learning project and a mistake on my part.

​

As soon as I found out, I:

​

- Opened a billing support case with AWS

- Explained the situation honestly

- Started deleting all unnecessary resources

- Tracked the majority of the charges to Aurora/RDS

​

AWS has replied to my support case and is reviewing it, but they haven't made a decision yet regarding any billing adjustment or credit.

​

I'm trying to stay hopeful, but the amount is way beyond anything I could afford as a student.

​

Has anyone here dealt with a similar situation, especially with a large accidental bill? Did AWS provide a waiver, partial credit, or some other form of relief?

​

Also, is there anything else I should be doing right now besides continuing to work with AWS Support?

​

I'd really appreciate hearing about any experiences or advice. Thanks.
