Okay, I feel sorry for the horse, but this recap from the Kentucky Derby is scary:

Hillary Clinton enthusiastically picked a filly named Eight Belles to win the Kentucky Derby and compared herself to the horse. Eight Belles finished second. The winner was the favorite, Big Brown. Eight Belles collapsed immediately after crossing the finish line, and was euthanized shortly thereafter.

On top of that… Obama won in GUAM!!!

"Grand Theft Auto IV" was released and I didn't like it that much at first, but have reconsidered since playing it for a few more hours. SIDE NOTE: If you own a PS3 and are having loading problems or problems with the game freezing, log out of the PlayStation Network and you should be good to go.

Microsoft withdraws its offer for Yahoo! and Google laughs, but more importantly are we on our way to finding a cure for AIDS? And if we do can we solve all the diseases out of China?

How much money do you have? Well, bet the boys at Chevron have more.

A couple of 3D lovers bash me and call me ignorant and then don't come back to elaborate (the Internet is a great thing). My guess they may not be old enough to attend my 21 and over theaters. Oh, and The Dark Knight is PG-13 and has "some menace" but not a lot.

Iron Man is dominating the reviews and the box-office. The Dark Knight trailer should be here any second.

Then there was a new Indy 4 trailer, a new Hulk trailer, Peter Jackson fights over Heaven and new stills from the Coen brothers' Burn After Reading arrive online.

Did the Wachowskis find influence in terrorists?

Finally, I offered up my top ten superhero movies and Spider-Man lovers didn't lynch me.
