Not only has Star Wars: The Mandalorian captivated fans with its sweet space-Western vibe, but the show's brutally adorable breakout character, "Baby Yoda," has become the internet's prized meme-able/GIF-able possession.

Not only do fans create their own GIFs from the series, to share on social media, but publications do as well, for the purposes of recaps, reviews, and pieces involving deep dives into theories and lore.

Disney, however, has pulled the plug on some of these GIFs, as noted by Vulture critic Kathryn VanArendonk...

wanna know something *very* dumb?

Sam Mendes' new World War I action epic, 1917 -- which features one single shot over the course of its two hours, with no cuts -- screened for critics over the weekend, and the first reactions out of the gate, on Twitter, are that this daring technical achievement is an automatic top contender for multiple Oscars.

Starring George MacKay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Madden, Mark Strong, and Colin Firth, 1917 follows two soldiers (MacKay and Chapman) as they're sent on a mission to deliver a message that will save 1600 of their fellow soldiers, who have been lured into a trap at the Hindenburg Line.

Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds popped in for a guest spot on Saturday Night Live this week, during Will Ferrell's fifth time hosting the show since leaving the cast back in 2002.

Right at the top of Ferrell's opening monologue, he noticed Ryan Reynolds sitting in the front row. Immediately distracted, Ferrell asked why Reynolds was there. "I'm just here to enjoy the show," Reynolds said, stating that he was simply a big fan of Ferrell.

Hilariously, Ferrell became flustered and spent the rest of the monologue obsessing over Reynolds, giddy to hear that Reynolds, and his wife Blake Lively, were both huge admirers. It all ended with a fun Tracy Morgan cameo.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s latest patch has added in an old fan-favorite game mode. Gun Game has returned to Call of Duty, but data miners have also discovered evidence of fan-favorite map remakes that may be on the way, according to US Gamer.
