Have you heard the one about the right-wing comedian? Nah – they’re all shit

Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer are starring in Jordan Peele‘s latest horror, Nope!

Pretty well from when he started out in 2002, melding fiction, recreation and direct reportage in films that won him two San Sebastián Golden Shells but bamboozled more mainstream critics, Spain’s Isaki Lacuesta has maintained that he wanted to make larger audience movies.With his tenth feature, Berlin competition player “One Year, One Night,” taking in the 2015 Bataclan Paris terrorist attack, he finally has his chance.Produced by Lacuesta’s label La Termita Films and Spain’s Bambu Producciones, the company behind milestone Spanish TV shows “Grand Hotel,” “Velvet” and “Cable Girls,” “One Year, One Night” cost six times the budget of Lacuesta’s most expensive film before that, the director says. It stars Argentina’s Nahuel Pérez (“BPM (Beats Per Minute)”) and Noémie Merlant (“Portrait of a Lady on Fire”), two of the most admired young actors currently working in France, and it’s backed by the distribution and sales muscle of Studiocanal, which took a minority stake in Bambu in 2016.“I’ve never tried to make films of a size whose budget I didn’t have,” says Lacuesta.

Along with Robert Eggers and Ari Aster, Jordan Peele is one of modern horror’s new masters. Well, good news, horror fans: all three directors have new films out this year.

golf's biggest party as fans launched their beers onto the green in wild scenes at the Phoenix Open.Sam Ryder's stunning shot on the 124-yeard 16th hole led to fans in the 17,000-seater grandstand throwing their drinks into the air and causing a stoppage in play.With the course left littered with bottles, cans and cups, the golf action was delayed by around 15 minutes during Saturday's third round.CBS' Amanda Balionis also admitted: “We are covered in beer and other liquids I believe.

Let us know in the comments section below.“It just ended up being a perfect 54-degree wedge.

Steve Clarke It is, by common consent, the job from hell, but within days of starting as BBC director general, Tim Davie, achieved the impossible by generating positive headlines in outlets normally critical of the Beeb.He achieved this simply by reversing a decision not to sing “Rule Britannia” — a patriotic song linked to the United Kingdom’s colonial past — at the famed Last Night of the Proms, the finale to the BBC’s annual summer music festival, and as much a part of the English psyche as Wimbledon and tea drinking. Whether Davie can repeat this deft touch, which overturned an initial decision to skip the lyrics and only play an orchestral rendition, once he gets into his stride is anyone’s guess.

Stand-up comic Geoff Norcott has weighed in after claims the BBC have struggled to find right-wing comedians who are ‘funny enough’ for their shows. It was reported this week that new BBC boss Tim Davie has threatened to axe left-wing comedy shows in a bid to present a more balanced corporation. Shows such as Have I Got News For You and Mock the Week are among those to have received complaints about their jokes against the Tories and Brexit. An insider has told The Guardian that BBC executives spent the past 18 months piling on the pressure to find Tory-friendly and pro-Brexit comedians. However, it’s said that producers have found the right-wing comics simply ‘aren’t very good’. Norcott first reacted to the reports yesterday and tweeted:
