I just like this song. Justin Timberlake isn't so bad, really.

Senorita
by Justin Timberlake

[Pharrell:]
Ladies and gentlemen
It's my pleasure to introduce to you
He's a friend of mine

[Justin:]
Yes, yes I am

[Pharrell:]
And he goes by the name...
Justin
Wowoowoooo

All the way
from Memphis, Tennessee
And he's got somethin' special for y'all tonight
He's gonna sing a song for y'all
About this girl

[Justin:]
Come in right here?

[Pharrell:]
Yea, come on

On that sunny day
Didn't know I'd meet
Such a beautiful girl
Walking down the street
Seen those bright brown eyes
With tears coming down
She deserves a crown
But where is it now
Mamma listen

Chorus:
Senorita, I feel for you
You deal with things, that you don't have to
He doesn't love ya, I can tell by his charm
But you could feel this real love
If you just lay in my...

Running fast in my mind
Girl don't you slow it down
If we carry on this way
This thing might leave the ground
How would you like to fly?
That's how my queen should ride
But you still deserve the crown
or hasn't it been found?
Mamma listen

(Repeat Chorus)

Ah, ah, arms...
(Won't you lay in my)
Ah, ah, arms...
(Mama lay in my)
Ah, ah, arms...
(Baby won't you lay in my)
Ah, ah, arms...

When I look into your eyes
I see something that money can't buy
And I know if you give us a try
I'll work hard for you girl
And no longer will you ever have to cry

(Repeat Chorus)

Ah, ah, arms...
(Whoa)
Ah, ah, arms...
(My baby)
Ah, ah, arms...
(Oooh, yea)
Ah, ah, arms...

When I look into your eyes
I see something that money can't buy
And I know if you give us a try
I'll work hard for you girl
You won't ever cry

Now listen
I wanna try somethin' right now
See they don't do this anymore
I'ma sing something
And I want the guys to sing wit' me
They go
"It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?"
And then the ladies go
"I don't know but I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you"

Guys sing
It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?
And ladies
I don't know but I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you
Feels good don't it, come on
It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?
Yea, ladies
I don't know but I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you
Show the good to me

Sing it one more time
It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?
Ladies
I don't know but I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you
Yea, yea..
It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?
Ladies
I don't know but I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you

Gentlemen, good night
Ladies, good morning
[laughs]
That's it

.:More Reviews:.

I owe two more reviews: Please Teach Me English, and Lost In Translation. Saw both films already...

.:A Goal:.

I will find my name in the papers, barring the Xerex column and obituaries, before the end of this year. My other goal, to get the Ancestral Recall, has been achieved today. It's in my deck now.

.:Film Review: Without A Paddle:.

As usual... SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Without A Paddle
You will drown in laughter

Let me admit off the bat that “Without A Paddle” is a guilty pleasure sort of a film. If you’re not fond of toilet humor, homophobic jokes, and other forms of low-brow humor, then you may as well not bother with this film.

However, kung mababaw din ang kaligayahan mo, I see no reason for you to pass this film up.

Anyways, the film is off to a slow start with a group of friends: Billy, Tom, Dan, and Johnny. They were childhood friends who went their separate ways after graduation, only to be reunited when the carefree Billy got killed in a parasailing accident.

Remembering an old promise they made to each other to find the infamous DB Cooper’s treasure, the remaining three embark on a trip into the wild in search for this childhood dream. Along the way, they run into an obnoxious sheriff, a bear that tries to hibernate with Dan, a couple of hairy but hot hippies, and two hillbilly pot farmers.

You see, what makes this movie work for the viewer is if they can learn to laugh at crude but effective humor. I know it’s 2005 and we don’t judge, but the scene where the three guys had to huddle while half-naked in a cave on a rainy night just to keep from dying of hypothermia was a hilarious scene punctuated by R Kelly’s “Bump ‘N’ Grind” as a background song. The song, after all, starts with “My mind is telling me no/ but my body, my body is telling me yes…”

At the same time, the way the animatronic bear was carried out in the film was hilarious, and the umpteenth time the Matrix bullet-dodging scene has been spoofed also worked, as the trio were running around a burning Marijuana field and getting stoned while trying to escape the hillbillies.

In any case, the story then ends with some silly lecture about friendship and living life to the fullest, which certainly felt out of place in the film. Needless to say, I personally felt that it would’ve been better if they just didn’t try to make up some cockamamie attempt at profundity and just made it an out and out comedy trip, crude or shameless thought it may have been.

The actors were horribly typecast, for the most part. Matthew Lillard was still horribly “Shaggy” in my mind, while Seth Green was still “Dr. Evil’s son” in other people’s minds. At the same time, the writing was bad, and the comedy can work, but some of their good jokes get overplayed.

All in all, despite the pointless moralizing and the slow start, this was a horrible movie story-wise, but was great, politically incorrect fun.
