If you were alive/coherent at the end of the second millenium, then you probably remember that little fuzzy, gremlin-looking toy they called a Furby.

Well, Hasbro has decided to bring these alien creatures back from the toy-beyond to creep out a whole NEW generation of children!!

Yes, they were cute, but not very cuddly (their inner robotics were pointy and painful!) and you couldn’t really turn them off…

We totally caught them watching us in the nighttime!

We won't know what new powers these Furbies hold until their release in the fall…right around the same time the Mayans predicted the end of the world, RIGHT???

That's right, the Ouija Board movie is back on Universal's production slate after being dropped last August due to budgetary concerns!

Michael Bay is still producing through his Platinum Dunes banner (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Amityville Horror), but in order to scale down the massive explosions and giant robot ghosts budget, the studio enlisted the help of the guy behind low-cost hits like Paranormal Activity and Insidious.

Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions has taken the cost from a whopping $100 million to a measly $5 million! Does that mean we're in store for another "found footage" film? Possibly about a couple curious kids playing the game and recording what happens…?

Well, this is certainly better news than a Jack and Jill sequel! LOLz!

To recap - Back in May, we had heard that the Candy Land movie was still happening, and it was being referred to as "Lord of the Rings, but set in a world of candy."

Then in October, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner assured the world that Candy Land would eventually see the light of the day.

Now,

But it sounds like the budget on another high-profile film is probably going to have to suffer because of it.

Because the gaming company has faired so well during this quarter, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner has announced that they have started active discussions with studio partner Paramount, director Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg about putting a fourth Transformers film into the works.

Is anybody really surprised?

After reports that the Universal film Ouija needed major work on its script, it looks the studio has decided to just drop the film entirely.

The movie had some major players behind it, as it was to be produced by Michael Bay and directed by McG. It was heading in the direction of a big budget film, but something went awry as it's now been scrapped.

Paramount has released a new trailer for Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon, which is exactly the same as the previously released trailer, EXCEPT it's in 3D!

To see the third dimension pop up before your eyes, you must purchase or make your friend purchase, then borrow Hasbro's My3D device available now in stores.

It works by sliding your iPhone or iTouch (after downloading a free app) into the goggle-like contraption which turns the images playing on the iProduct into eye-popping 3D!

Sounds like a pretty neat way to waste $25 bucks. LOLz!

Would U buy Hasbro's My3D to watch this newest Transformers' trailer or any other videos in 3D?
