Just Us Nerds

2006 Billboard Music Awards
Highlights will probably include Gwen Stephani’s new “High Class Coke Whore” look, The Killers acting like self-satisfied pricks and at least one rapper getting shot – should be a good time.

Heroes
(Fall Finale) One of the Heroes is gonna die. My money is on D.L. who really didn’t know who he was screwing with. By the way, if Hiro can’t change the past, why would future Hiro go back in time to warn Peter to Save the Cheerleader? Wouldn’t that have been a little pointless?

What About Brian?
Brian tries to use speed dating to lure Bridget into a romantic connection. Jesus, wasn’t shattering a marriage enough? This guy bounces back better than Flubber. Also, speed dating? I believe we have found the cliché plot device of the 00s.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
We know Jordan is pregnant. We don’t know who the father is. I’m going to go against the popular choice of Danny and move right to Jack. Come on, wouldn’t that be a way better plot twist? It would also explain why he is suddenly on her side and why the promos have him resigning.

Tonight’s Pick N’ Flick

Big Daddy

This is the movie where Adam Sandler got too carried away with the nice guy bit. It was OK in The Wedding Singer and even Waterboy but by this point it became clear that the jackass who made movies like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison so damned fun was gone. He’d been replaced by somebody who wanted to be loved. Still, at least this isn’t Little Nicky, which was a total waste of an hour and a half.
