The elephant in the room was Donald Trump. The aim: not to name the person who succeeded in getting rid of Stephen Colbert, one of the most popular comedians in the United States. In the last episode of The Late Show, broadcast on Thursday by the CBS network, Colbert insisted he did not want to do anything special, just another show like the 1,800 he has under his belt. But reality had other plans.

Ask someone what the greatest action movie ever made is, and there's a good chance Die Hard will be the answer. Even Collider puts it at number one. It's easy to see why. The plot of a New York City cop fighting terrorists in a Los Angeles skyscraper is simple but thrilling. It turned Bruce Willis, who starred as the heroic John McClane, into an action icon, and its villain, played by Alan Rickman, in his first ever film role, was so good that few can match him. Die Hard created a franchise and a host of imitators over the years. Only a select few action movies can say that they are better than Die Hard. These five argue the case better than any other.

Echoes of the 1940s Circus: Steam Trains, Big Top Lights and Forgotten Wonders
Description
A cinematic journey through a fictional vintage circus world inspired by the atmosphere of the 1940s: steam trains arriving through clouds of smoke, crowded railway platforms, canvas tents rising at dawn, performers preparing behind the scenes, glowing fairground lights, brass bands, trapeze artists, ringmasters, clowns, fortune tellers, animal acts, travelling caravans and the quiet moments hidden between spectacle and exhaustion.
This collection evokes the golden age of travelling circuses as if seen through the lens of an old documentary photographer, but with the visual richness of modern cinematic photography. Warm amber lights, deep shadows, smoky interiors, velvet costumes, weathered wood, worn posters, dusty roads and dramatic faces create a world suspended between memory, theatre and dream. Each image suggests a fragment of a larger story: the arrival of the circus by train, the construction of the tent, the anticipation of the crowd, the tension before the performance, the intimacy of backstage rituals and the melancholy beauty of a show that exists only for one night before disappearing again.
The series blends realism and fantasy, presenting the circus not only as entertainment but as a temporary city of artists, workers, animals, music, mystery and human emotion. It captures both the grand spectacle and the fragile backstage humanity of a travelling world built from canvas, light, discipline and illusion.
