'SNL' Digital Short: Steven Spielberg Directs 'Laser Cats 7''SNL' Digital Short: Steven Spielberg Directs 'Laser Cats 7'

If you're a fan of the Saturday Night Live Digital Shorts created by the Lonely Island boys, then you're doubtless a fan of "Laser Cats."  The perennially but joyously terrible ongoing saga of two warriors played by Andy Samberg and Bill Hader in an apocalyptic future of cats as laser weapons came back this last weekend with the seventh installment, and this one has a very consistent theme: the blockbusters of Steven Spielberg.

And Spielberg actually showed up to direct the latest "Laser Cats."  He's the filmmaker most synonymous with the word "director" and a massively powerful industry unto himself, but the Bearded One still rolls in with a fanny pack and boundless enthusiasm for the Digital Short.  The short, which Lorne Michaels is once again not impressed by, is packed with allusions to Spielberg's work. 

Most are obvious, but see if you can catch them all in this video, courtesy of Hulu.

Spielberg's been busy as of late.  After closing out last year with no less than two features, The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse, he's currently at work on Lincoln, the Civil War historical drama starring Daniel Day Lewis as the sixteenth President of these United States.  That film is set for an indeterminate point later this year, and as soon as he's done with that, he'll move on to the science fiction epic Robopocalypse.
