‘How dare you?': Stephen Colbert responds to Trump's gloating over show's cancellation
In a blistering monologue that blended satire with raw emotion, Stephen Colbert addressed the cancellation of The Late Show and fired back at former U.S. President Donald Trump, who had publicly praised CBS for 'taking a good stand' in pulling the plug on Colbert's late-night programme. Advertisement 'How dare you, sir?' Colbert said, with faking anger. 'Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?' Cueing up a segment titled 'Eloquence Cam', Colbert then glared into the camera, adopted a thick New York accent, and delivered an unambiguous message: 'Go f**k yourself.' The explicit word was censored for broadcast, but the sentiment rang loud and clear. Colbert Makes Sure That Trump Steers Clear from the Other Late Night Show Hosts Colbert wasn't done. He referenced Trump's social media remark that 'Jimmy Kimmel is next,' and replied with biting sarcasm: 'Nope, no, no. Absolutely not. Kimmel, I am the martyr. There's only room for one on this cross. And the view is fantastic from up here. I can see your house!' Advertisement Opening the show with a sardonic take on so-called cancel culture, Colbert remarked, 'Folks, I'm gonna go ahead and say it: Cancel culture has gone too far. Over the weekend, it sunk in that they're killing off our show. But they made one mistake: They left me alive.' He went on to declare that for the remaining ten months of The Late Show, the 'gloves are off,' adding, 'I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power and say what I really think about Donald Trump, starting right now.' Then, with a comic pause, he offered a deliberately tame critique: 'I don't care for him. Doesn't have the skillset to be president. Not a good fit, that's all.' What Happened to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert The announcement of The Late Show's impending end was first made during the taping on Thursday, July 17, with Colbert informing the studio audience and the wider world shortly after via a video release. He revealed he had learned of CBS's decision the previous evening. Advertisement While expressing regret over the show's cancellation, Colbert took a gracious tone towards the network. 'It is a fantastic job,' he told his audience. 'I wish somebody else was getting it.' He added, 'The folks at CBS have been great partners.' Monday night's episode featured appearances from actors Sandra Oh—of 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Killing Eve' fame—and Dave Franco, known for films such as 'Now You See Me', 'Together', and 'The Disaster Artist'.

Prime Video adds sci-fi thriller that's odd mix of Inception and Fight Club
Prime Video adds sci-fi thriller that's odd mix of Inception and Fight Club Some fans have been left stunned by the Ben Affleck film Hypnotic trailer Prime Video's latest addition is an 'preposterous' action thriller that has left some viewers astounded with its 'mind blowing' conclusion. The film, titled Hypnotic, is now accessible for streaming on the retailer's service, and it's crucial not to confuse it with a different movie of the same name that's exclusively available on Netflix; they're entirely separate works. Distinctive on Amazon's premier subscription platform is the version starring Ben Affleck in the central role. In this thrills-packed narrative, Affleck embodies Detective Danny Rourke, a man on a relentless search for his vanished daughter. As Rourke delves into a sequence of reality-altering crimes, he embarks on a descent down a metaphorical rabbit hole. Teaming up with Diana Cruz, a supremely talented psychic, he faces both the hunt and the haunting by a deadly phantom – the singular individual he surmises to hold the clue to locating his child. The film is described as an unusual mix of Inception and Fight Club (Image: Ketchup Entertainment ) The cinematic piece has garnered comparisons to a bare-bones version of Inception by fans and critics alike, with noted movie reviewer Mark Kermode proclaiming it 'preposterous' from beginning to end, reports Surrey Live. Article continues below Another retrospective opinion on the 2023 flick reads quite differently: "(The film) channels the energy of Inception, Tenet, even Now You See Me to some extent. It's far from Affleck's highest-rated movie, that's for sure, but it's brilliantly trippy and I thought it was a good dash of fun." The film has found some supporters among viewers, with one arguing that it showcases an original concept with a unique delivery style, drawing comparisons to films like Inception and Fight Club. They commented: "The idea was somewhat original, especially in its delivery. It's similar to Inception with twists like Fight Club. This film was entertaining, it holds your attention, although some people will guess the plot twist from the beginning but it keeps you guessing."

Just remember to cancel at the end and you won't be charged. Another fan shared a similar sentiment, praising the movie as a gripping thriller that culminates in a mind-blowing climax. They wrote: "Hypnotic is a gripping thriller with a mind blowing climax. I was pleasantly surprised. From the very first scene, the film grabbed my attention and refused to let go. Affleck delivers a compelling performance, effectively conveying a range of emotions that resonated with me. The antagonist, despite limited screen time, makes a significant impact, leaving a lasting impression." This viewer further commended the climax, saying: "The true highlight of the film, however, is the climax. The final 20 minutes are filled with twists and turns that completely blew my mind. I was left eagerly anticipating a potential sequel. Hypnotic is a thrilling ride that I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys suspenseful cinema." Many fans praise the film's ending (Image: Ketchup Entertainment ) Article continues below Additionally, another viewer expressed their surprise at how much they enjoyed the film, stating: "I expected this to be mediocre because I didn't hear much about it when it was released. I decided to watch it because I think Ben Affleck is probably an underrated actor. "At the end of the day it was a good thriller. It held my attention. It is suspenseful and very good acting, and the female lead , Alice Braga is also an excellent actress. I would recommend this film to anybody. Surpassed my expectations." Hypnotic is streaming on Prime Video.
