Whoops! Looks like Time Warner has dropped its bid to buy MGM and pulled out of The Lion mid-stroke. This puts nearly-jilted suitor Sony back in the hunt to snap up MGM's sloppy seconds with its reported $5 billion offer. We'd try and be happy for Sony, because there's something absolutely precious about how they hung around like Jon Cryer in a Molly Ringwald movie, humming along loudly to their Walkman while Time Warner bent their beloved over the arm of the sofa, but all of this back-and-forth drama has eroded what was left of our limited capacity for joy.

UPDATE: Sony nabs MGM for $5B, source says
