Trailer Alert – Rememory
Peter Dinklage may be busy cozying up to dragons in the Game of Thrones universe, but as Sam Bloom in Rememory, he plays a mysterious man who tries to solve the murder of the creator of a memory playback device by using the device itself. The more I read back that sentence the more I confuse myself, but this looks like a classic rainy day psychological thriller to watch sometime down the road. I can’t imagine a ton of people going to see this in theaters, but every movie serves a different purpose. Rememory premieres August 24th.

My Favorite Sketch From Peter Dinklage’s #SNL – Mafia Meeting
Peter Dinklage hosted SNL 5 WHOLE days ago, and even though I watched the whole episode Sunday morning, I haven’t gotten around to naming my favorite sketch yet. If you’ve seen the episode, and ‘Mafia Meeting’ wasn’t your favorite sketch, then we’re not on the same page. The episode as a whole was really great, and SNL continues to be at it’s best when it has a host that is fearless. They could have easily just churned out a bunch of GOT sketches, but instead put out some really funny stuff, including a pre taped ‘Naked & Afraid’ spoof with Dinklage and Leslie Jones. ‘Mafia Meeting’ gets my pick because it’s my favorite kind of SNL sketch: one that starts out with one topic (in this case, the mafia having a sit down at a late night lounge) and then have it be about something else entirely (in this case, SPACE PANTS). Dinklage nails the song and Gwen Stefani provides some nice backup vocals, and Bobby Moynihan reacting to what he’s seeing is wonderful. Space Pants forever.

Good Lord look at the lineup. We already knew Peter Dinklage would be hosting this weekend, but following that we’re going to get Russell Crowe and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. That is a powerhouse lineup and refreshing at the same time. Peter Dinklage & Russell Crowe have never hosted & JLD hasn’t hosted since 2007. Three world class actors, back to back to back. While Dinklage and Crowe are known more for their dramatic roles, you know they’ll both be able to bust out their comedic chops come show time. If you don’t already know that JLD is one of the funniest people on the planet, then you don’t deserve to live.
