Sorry folks, looks looks like you’ll have to find your prostitutes another way. Craigslist has signed a deal with local law enforcement in Illionis, Missouri, and Connecticut to totally revamp their “erotic services” category into a new more strictly monitored (and twice as expensive) “adult services” listing. So where are lonely guys supposed to go to find money-grubbing women who post fake pictures of themselves online and offer services they have no intention of performing? FriendFinder? CareerBuilder.com? You can read more here.

George Lucas turns 65 today. Say what you will about his later years, the guy changed the landscape of movies (in mostly positive ways), and as a lifelong Star Wars nerd (and proudly so!) I owe much to the man that showed me as a young child just how amazing movies could be. To celebrate here’s Carrie Fisher’s speech to Geroge at his AFI Tribute from a few years back. Happy Birthday Mr. Lucas, and thanks for the memories.

Secret Six #9 - This might be my favorite DC comic right now. Out of some sort of guilt, desire to help, and dreams of taking the place of the missing Batman, Catman and Bane take a trip to Gotham to stop a gang from kidnapping young children. Oh, and Ragdoll comes along dressed as Robin. Okay, if that isn’t enough to get you to buy this comic I don’t know what’s wrong with you.

The point of this little time waster? Killing butterflies to feed to the hungry, and obviously very lazy, spider. Um, yeah, I guess it goes without saying that whoever thought this one up is pretty messed-up. Be careful as our little spider bride has a tendency to drop her broom if you move too quickly.

Comedian/actor Aziz Ansari (”Observe and Report,” NBC’s “Parks and Recreation”) saw “Star Trek” this weekend in an IMAX screen that was way smaller than the 72 ft. screen he was expecting for his extra $5. A tirade on his blog yesterday calling for a boycott of IMAX was passed around the Internet like crazy and hit the front page of Digg, thanks to his 27,000+ Twitter followers. It even prompted a smug response from IMAX’s CEO by the end of the day on another site.

But what are the facts about theaters that get retrofitted with only slightly bigger screens and still call the technology “IMAX”? Read the latest on the debate and get the facts on IMAX’s digital screens right here.

The Brothers Bloom (after getting shelved for a good long while) will finally begin hitting theaters in limited release on Friday (before earning a wider release in the coming weeks). I’ve seen the film, and although I can’t tell you my thoughts here I will share this scene with you featuring Bloom (Adrien Brody) discovering the many hobbies of the adorable Penelope (Rachel Weisz).

Wow. I’d set this up for you, but it’s awesomeness speaks for itself. Thanks to teh ‘monkey for the find. Punch Out fans rejoice!

Every once in a long while you come across a nice little Internet story, like say this one. It turns out Girl Scouts, at least those around Virginia, can earn themselves a Comics Badge. Very cool.

Today’s Top 10 Tuesday submission comes from Seattle WA. Warren J. Cantrell is a writer who enjoys two things: being hardcore and “Predator 2.” Warren’s impassioned, uncensored Top 10 list makes him the first Scene-Stealers sitegoer to write a Top 10 list about ONE MOVIE, and an 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger-less sequel at that. This Top 10 is also notable for its creation of the past-tense word “wad-shot.” Here’s Warren with the Top 10 Reasons “Predator 2” Is the Best of the “Predator” Franchise.

Seeing as a few of us are still debating the merits and faults of the new Star Trek this little gem, clips from the original series mashed-up as a Mentos commercial, seemed too good not to share. Enjoy!
