Okie Noodling 2 Movie Trailer (Will Give You Nightmares)
“I’m not about to stick my hand up in no place where I cain’t see,” says a desk cop in the new trailer for Okie Noodling 2, a new documentary on humans in Oklahoma who stick their hands down the mouths of mutant-like catfish, muscle them to shore in a fit of pirouettes (and mud and blood) and brag about it.
As seen in director Bradley Beesley’s cult documentary from 2001 (scored by the Flaming Lips), the process is called “noodling,” and the sequel examines how the backwoods phenomena is currently vying to take over baseball via YouTube and insomniac TV (alongside other “sports” like UFC, Tumblr and competitive eating) as America’s favorite past time. The trailer conjures the brilliance of Heavy Metal Parking Lot and many will find these two minutes more terrifying than premature glimpses of Jaws or Unsolved Mysteries at age six. Dumb IRL fun or Freudian nightmare? The bizarre title screen at the end offers no sane answers, just cartoon blood.
Okie Noodling 2 screens at the Alamo Ritz in Austin, Texas on July 7th (today) at 7 p.m., and at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland, Oregon on July 25th. For info on the DVD, go here.

Cage the Elephant - Ain’t No Rest For the Wicked Lyrics
i was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye, i saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
she said i never seen a man, who looks so all alone, could you use a little company?
if you pay the right price, your evening will be nice, or you can go and send me on my way, i said your such a sweet young thing, why’d you do this to yourself?
she looked at me and this is what she said.
there ain’t no rest for the wicked, money don’t grow on trees, i got bills to pay, i got mouths to feed, there ain’t nothing in this world for free.
i know i cant slow down, i cant hold back though you know i wish i could, oh no there ain’t no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good.
not even 15 minutes later, after walking down the street, when i saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight, then he swept up from behind, put a gun up to my head, he made it clear he wasn’t looking for a fight, he said give me all you’ve got, i want your money not your life, if you try to make a move i wont think twice, i told him you can have my cash, but first you know I’ve got to ask, what made you want to live this kind of life?
he said there aint no rest for the wicked, money don’t grow on trees, i got bills to pay i got mouths to feed aint nothing in this world for free.
i know i cant slow down, i cant hold back though you know i wish i could oh no there ain’t no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good.
now a couple hours past, and i was sitting in my house, the day was winding down and coming to an end, so i turned on the TV, and flipped it over to the news, and what i saw i almost couldn’t comprehend, i saw a preacher man in cuffs taking money from the church, he stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills but even still i cant say much cause i know were all the same, oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills.
you know there ain’t no rest for the wicked, money don’t grow on trees, we got bills to pay we got mouths to feed ain’t nothing in this world for free.
we cant slow down, we cant hold back though you know we wish we could. you no there aint no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good.

So You Think You Can Dance: Top 14 Revealed
(S04E11) It’s time to find out who our top fourteen dancers are. I think after Wednesday night’s performances, everyone knew who would be in the bottom three couples. But, it’s all about the solos. Let’s find out how they did.
The Opening Number
“The Dance” by Charlotte Martin (choreographed by Mia Michaels)
I know some of you readers love her pieces, but I disliked this opening. It paled in comparison to Shane’s opening last week and Wade’s the week before that. I seldom enjoy Mia’s routines though. The last one I really liked was with Danny and Lauren last season; it was a piece Mia had done for Celine’s A New Day show in Vegas. It was intense and romantic.
Here’s what I liked about the piece. I loved how they all danced in unison for more than two counts of eight. For some reason, we don’t see that much dancing in unison on the show anymore. We see a lot of tricks and interesting partnering but not as much pure choreography where all the dancers have to do is stay in sync. I also thought the concept was interesting — all of them looking like little marionettes. Chelsea doing bourees with that umbrella over her head was great.
Here’s what was completely ridiculous. The poles. The screaming. The making Comfort suck her thumb on stage and act like a toddler. Poor Comfort. That reminded me of last season when Wade made Lacey and Sabra dance around with red scarves in their mouths. 
The Results
Thayne and Chelsea [BOTTOM THREE]
Katee and Joshua [SAFE]
Chelsea and Mark [SAFE]
Twitch and Kherrington [SAFE]
Courtney and Gev [SAFE]
Comfort and Chris [BOTTOM THREE]
Kourtni and Matt [BOTTOM THREE]
Jessica and Will [SAFE]
The Guest Performers
Quest, “The Best Dance Crew in America” performed to “Chemical Calisthenics” by Blackalicious featuring Cut Chemist. The group, which contained SYTYCD finalists Dominic, Hok, and Ryan, is not to be confused with America’s Best Dance Crew’s last season winner, the JabbawookeZ. You may remember I caught up with Dominic and Hok and they talked about how they would be trying out for the MTV show next season.
Their routine was great. I think they are going to go far on ABDC next summer. It was funny and innovative. I don’t remember Dominic being that fun to watch. Remember how he did his solo a few times last season and it just got stale? I do have one question though. What’s with the falling down to end a piece? The whole “we all fall down” ending is overused.
Oh, and Jordin Sparks performed. She was good, but I really don’t care for the guest performers on this show. Call me when they get Britney. One thing: who put her in that dress? She looked like a bridesmaid. And it didn’t compliment her body.
The Solos
Chelsea danced to “A Song for You by Donny Hathaway. It was good but after she finished, I wasn’t sure if it was good enough to stay. The three consecutive leaps in attitude were a bit of waste of time when you only have thirty seconds to show off. However, her fan kicks (one with a flexed foot and then one with pointed foot and a bit of a lay out) were beautiful.
Thayne danced to “Always” by Bon Jovi. And then Cat gave us the line of the night, “When the chips are down, bring out a bit of the Jovi.” Truer words were ne’er spoken. But let’s talk about his dance. I felt like he didn’t really plan it though. Thayne even ran the wrong way at one point making his leap off the stairs look even more awkward.
Comfort danced to “Just Fine” by Mary J. Blige. She looked great — her outfit was perfect. I love watching her dance in her own style. She has such a swagger. I really wish Shane Sparks was still choreographing for the couples because his style would be a perfect match for Comfort. However, that’s not what the show is about. SYTYCD means to find the best dancer, with the most personality and the most versatility.
Chris danced to “After Tonight” by Joshua Nozuka. This was good, but not as good as his solo last week. I know some people are over Chris, but I love him. I can’t believe that Nigel was worried about his personality. I find him so accessible and likable. All the work in forced arch was different, I thought. And his en dedans pirouette into an attitude turn (which I think was on demi pointe) was awesome. He does need to keep his shoulders down in his turns though.
Kourtni danced to “Fire Door (Live)” by Ani DeFranco. Wow. That was excellent. Perfectly choreographed. If I had to pick a contemporary dancer to stay and I was just looking at those solos, it would be Kourtni over Chelsea.
Matt danced to “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz. It was good, better than Thayne’s but not better than Chris’s (I’m partial, I know). I didn’t like how he finished though, very sloppy.
And you dancers out there know what I’m talking about. If one more contemporary dancer does a coupe jete en tournant (with the back leg in attitude and a layout), I’m going to puke.
The Eliminations
In a quick execution, Nigel eliminated Chelsea. I’m going to miss her. And, proving that Nigel has a vendetta against Chris, he was eliminated next. That means Thayne will partner with Comfort next week. I’m not happy with those eliminations. What do you think? Did the judges make the right decision?
Spencer Mouths Off to Ryan Seacrest
Is there nothing Spencer Pratt can’t spin?Lo and Stephen were having a chatty little interview with Ryan Seacrest this morning on KIIS-FMdishing about all things L.C. (she’s seeing someone, but he’s not famous), when, in a puff of sulfur, Spencer appears on the phone to "clarify" the L.C. sex-tape rumor and verbally eviscerate everyone. With a smile, of course.
Spencer: I just wanted to address something here, ‘cause there were never rumors…Lo and L.C. weren’t speaking when all this was going on, and I know for a fact she can make things up. But they weren’t friends when the whole rumors thing came out. But the bottom line is I heard L.C. crying about the sex tape that Jason Wahler did have and was trying to sell, so many times for six months and Heidi trying to get it back and L.C. trying to save the day, but they never got it back. So, there’s no rumors. Bottom line: Heidi never made something up. Jason and L.C. have this. Jason was trying to sell it. Heidi tried to get it back. They blame Heidi once it goes public.
Lo and Stephen remain as silent as paint during Spencer’s soliloquy, so Ryan steps in.
Ryan: You guys are adults. Why can’t you just sit down at a restaurant and have a conversation and say life’s too short?
Spencer: If L.C. was smart, we’d all sit down and be the new Friends cast, and be driving Lamborghinis.
The new cast of Friends? We’re guessing that would make Spencer the Chandler character, since nobody really knows what the hell it is he does that makes him so much money.Lo only manages to muster the courage to speak to Spencer after he hangs up.
Lo: I think his mother should be ashamed of him.
Ryan: Why didn’t you tell him all of that a second ago?
Lo: Because I really don’t feel the need to converse with Spencer.
The need, or the nerve?Maybe they can hash this out later at Central Perk.
