A few weeks ago, Entertainment Weekly wrote an article about how Heroes needs to make some drastic changes to stay alive.

It suggested simple things like trimming the number of characters, getting the show back to its roots, avoiding state storytelling and absurd plot twists, setting an end date, blah blah blah…

A 5-year-old could have made these suggestions.

Heroes, I think you are, have been, and will still be a grand show.

But if you truly want some help, then I will take care of you.  Here is my advice for the NBC series.

Details of my suggestions after the jump. And be sure to vote for your favorite suggestions.

High School Musical 3Dear Creators of the High School Musical movies,

My name is Andre, but many people know me as “Black Nerd” online. I want to congratulate you on a wonderfully successful franchise.

Even as a grown adult, I can enjoy the wild and wacky adventures of Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, and the black girl.

It’s wonderful. It’s like watching a song-and-dance version of Saved by the Bell. They also had a black girl.

As I now come home from watching your crowning achievement that is High School Musical 3: Senior Year, I say kudos once again to a job well done.

The drama. The laughs. The spectacle. The in-movie final curtain call. Stupendous.

You made a wonderful ending. Which is why I ask the following request…

DON’T MAKE ANY MORE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL MOVIES!

I had to see Quarantine for Movie Mob this week. Eh. I would’ve rather this movie instead. The trailer is from The Soup on E!, one of the funniest freakin’ shows on television. IT’S MILEY!

Weird Al Yankovic is back at it again, this time with a parody of T.I.’s “Whatever You Like”. Given the economy, his thoughts of getting you whatever you like are slightly different. Enjoy!

So I just saw this commercial on TV and I get the joke.

He uses Axe Dark Temptation. Dark is like chocolate. Now he’s chocolate. And lots of white women around really like chocolate. Cause they can’t resist… wait for it… “dark temptation.”

But “chocolate” by no means is code for “black.” Like Chocolate City. Or David Alan Grier’s new TV show, Chocolate News. And let’s not forget… CHOCOLATE RAAAAAIIIINNN!!!

HE’S BLACK NOW, PEOPLE! YOU CAN’T FOOL ME, AXE! CHOCOLATE = BLACK!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go watch a movie, Willy Wonka and the Black Factory.

Heroes Season 3

Heroes is back, baby! And it ain’t playin’ games this time, people! It’s kickin’ @$$ and takin’ names! After a… well, bumpy… Season 2 to say the least, slowness did not play a factor with this 2-part premiere.

Well, 3 part if you count the countdown party brought to you by Sprint, Universal Studios, Heroes on DVD and Blu-Ray, NBC.com, MySpace, Coca-Cola, eHarmony, Slim Jim, American Airlines, Slurm… ok, you get the hint. It was a big commercial.

And now, it’s time for the official Black Nerd play-by-play recap of this season premiere.

Forbes Magazine recently released its Top 10 list of overpaid/least bankable movie stars. We discussed the list in Black Nerd LIVE! to see if the chat room of the show agreed or disagreed.

10. CATE BLANCHETT - The room totally disagreed. She is a well-respected actress, regardless of movie income intake.

09. WILL FERRELL - The room, some of which saw Tallegeda Nights, Blades of Glory and Semi-Pro back-to-back, totally agreed.

08. DREW BARRYMORE - The room was split on this one, especially after some E.T. flashbacks.

07. NICOLAS CAGE - The room really agreed. And that was just from the trailers of Ghost Rider and Bangkok Dangerous.

06. JIM CARREY - The room was split. Maybe a firm decision will be made after Yes Man comes out.

05. JENNIFER LOPEZ - A Gigli-namious agree!

Emma Stone in The Rocker and The House Bunny

So I didn’t realize until I was on the FANCAST blog that Emma Stone starred in two movies in the same weekend.

For those that don’t recognize her, since I didn’t even recognize she was in both films, she was the girl that got headbutted by Jonah Hill in Superbad.

Way to go, Emma Stone! You’re in The Rocker. You’re in The House Bunny. You’re all over the place.

Kiely WilliamsMaybe Obama should have picked you instead of Joe Biden as his Vice Presidential nominee. Obama/Stone ‘08.

Oh, and the same goes to Kiely Williams, too.

She was in The House Bunny and she also starred in The Cheetah Girls: One World which premiered this weekend on The Disney Channel.

But writing that lets people know I was aware there was another Cheetah Girls movie.

I have never been on the Paris Hilton obsession wave. I was ready to join the Paris haters. Then I saw this video.

And I’m sorry. It’s made me turn over a new leaf. I love Paris now and everything she does is good.

And for those of you too busy reading Paris gossip in US Weekly that you’ve missed THE FREAKIN’ NEWS, she’s responding to John McCain, who recently used an ad comparing Obama’s “celebrity” to the likes of her and Britney Spears.

I’m sure some genius is already printing up some “Paris/Rhianna ‘08″ t-shirts right now.

*Leaves blog and runs to the t-shirt printing press*

This week, I happened to stumble across two items related to the illegitimate step-child of the sequel: the prequel.

That’s of course when a second movie is made, but the events of the second movie take place before the events of the first movie so that the second movie gives you a backstory to all of the events that happened in the first movie before moving on to the third movie which will then take place after the first movie, which now takes place after the second movie.

I’ve just gone cross-eyed.

First, I found out that Disney is releasing The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel’s Beginning. Then I read on ToonZone.net that Cartoon Network is planning to make a live-action prequel to the Scooby-Doo movies.

Which leads me to a question… has there been any successful prequel movie?

And Batman Begins doesn’t count.
