Odd News: In the weirdest news to come down the wire today, it looks like the Writers Strike has done enough damage that the movie studios are getting desperate. Hasbro COO Brian Goldner says Hasbro is in negotiations with Ridley Scott to produce and direct a film-version of the popular board game “Monopoly”. This is not a joke. Hasbro just struck a six-year strategic partnership with Universal Pictures to produce at least four feature films based on some of Hasbro’s best-known game and toy brands. Yikes!
