For the first 15 or so minutes of I Think We’re Alone Now, the sophomore feature from acclaimed The Handmaid’s Tale director Reed Morano, Peter Dinklage walks around a desolate small town cleaning up after the apocalypse. He enters abandoned homes, collects batteries and family pictures, disposes of skeletal remains,…
It looks like Peter Dinklage may not be quite ready to put away all those medieval-esque outfits he gets to wear on Game Of Thrones. According to Variety, the actor has signed on to produce and star in a big-screen retelling of the Brothers Grimm fable Rumpelstiltskin.
Though your personal preference may vary, Szechuan sauce and “I’M PICKLE RICK” are easily in the top five most-circulated bits and quotes from Rick And Morty season three. The former took on risible life outside of the show, while the latter has had its Breaking Bad parallels broken down by co-creator Dan Harmon. The…
Regurgitating pop songs in some semi-comic fashion is the new go-to for lazy brand marketers—sweet Jesus, how many times did we have to endure that “Sweet Caroline” traffic jam abomination—but, hey, turns out the gimmick actually works when you pony up for some top-tier talent.
As Game Of Thrones fans brace themselves for the long wait ahead of the eighth and final season, Peter Dinklage reflected on his time as wily fan favorite, Tyrion Lannister. Speaking with Variety at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend, Dinklage touched on the extended production schedule (and average episode…
Look, there’s no reason why this couldn’t have worked.
When you’re watching Tyrion Lannister command respect from a room full of lords, ladies, and battle-hardened warriors using nothing but his charm and wit, it’s easy to forget that behind that eminently watchable character there is really just a man. A man who wakes up every morning, gets out of bed, puts his pants on…
It’s often hard to see the moment where aspirations of seriousness cross the line into pretension. Part of the problem with Rememory, an entertaining film bearing a title so awful it deserves some sort of special recognition in the Portmanteau Hall Of Shame, is that it often misses the enjoyably preposterous pulp of…
Earlier this year, HBO announced that network favorite Peter Dinklage would be playing actor Hervé Villechaize in an upcoming TV movie, My Dinner With Hervé. The film recounts a “life-changing” encounter between Villechaize (who, unlike Dinklage, was of half-Filipino, half-English descent) and a struggling journalist…

Who he is: Bolivar Trask
Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage might be making the jump from Fox’s X-Men movies to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Variety reports that Dinklage—who played Sentinel creator Bolivar Trask in X-Men: Days Of Future Past—is in talks to appear in Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel’s upcoming attempt to take all its…
Show business is known for being a demeaning, dispiriting, and humiliating industry, even under the best of circumstances. But for those affected by various forms of dwarfism, resulting in the stunted growth of their limbs, the situation can be especially grim. While movies and TV have gradually become more sensitive…
HBO has yet to renew Game Of Thrones—which finishes its sixth season this Sunday—for its eighth and supposedly final season, in much the same way TV weather people don’t usually bother to note that the sun is expected to rise tomorrow morning. Canceling the massively successful fantasy drama, unfinished, at the end of…
These Game Of Thrones reviews are written for those who have read George R.R. Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire. They will not explicitly spoil events from those books that have not yet been adapted into the series, but it will address events from the books more broadly in the interest of exploring the process of…
Never let it be said that Conan O’Brien—or at least his staff on Conan—don’t still have their fingers on the pulse of pop culture. O’Brien’s been doing his Clueless Gamer segments for a while now, combining popular celebrities with popular games, and then giving O’Brien free reign to make fun of everything in his…
Mathematically certified Game Of Thrones leading man Peter Dinklage threw himself into a number of roles in his SNL hosting gig last night, playing everything from a culinarily adventurous restaurant patron, to a beleaguered reality show host, to (rather cringe-worthily) Winnie the Pooh. But for all the courage he…
“I’m not an actor, I’m a [movie/TV/it’s not TV it’s HBO] star!”
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Friday, April 1, and Saturday, April 2. All times are Eastern.
There wasn’t time in Melissa McCarthy’s schedule to make a return trip to Stars Hollow this year, but that’s understandable considering she’s got a long-running sitcom of her own to wrap up, a high-profile franchise to help reboot, and a raunchy comedy to headline. No doubt about it, the former Sookie St. James is The…
