I've just finished watching Singles... and it's amazing that Eddies voice sounds the same from back then, till today!
Other than Matt Dillon's shocking performance as a 90's rock n roller, the overall movie is actually quite historic in its depiction of the era!
The blue flannelette, the long semi-permed hair, that style of music... it's just a complete and total flashback!
Gone are the days...

Yeah, that movie is very nostalgic for me. It's been on HBO a lot lately.
The only music that I don't like on it is Paul Westerburg. Why did they have to put that in the movie and soundtrack?!?!?!
LMAO... it certainly did spoil it!
Singles for our generation, is kinda like what The Big Chill did for our parents generation... always takes us back to a place we once knew...
But i guess times, they are a changin'...

Awww, I kinda liked those songs. They were damn cheesy, sure, but they're fun. Don't the rest of the songs balance those out by a long shot anyway?

Matt Dillion is CORNEY as! It's good to reminisce on, but it's just not real! Watching the boys do their thing - now you know that's how it was for them!
Even Alice In Chains sounded good for back then... (a stretch i know...)
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end...

I was a teenager through the 90's, and it will always be where "i began" (if that makes sense?!)
My music cherry was broken (shredded!!) by Pearl Jam... and Singles takes me back to that era...

Yes, the other songs do more than balance out the cheese, but it was so close to being perfect. Dyslixic Heart??? The cheese just drips and drowns me.
apparently matt dillon was a big fan of him and something called the replacements...?
Anyway, I love this movie. Haven't seen it in a while though, so must dig it out soon..!

Cliff Poncier: Well, I don't like to reduce us to just being part of the "Seattle Sound." I'd like to think of us as expanding more. Like, we're huge in Europe right now. I mean, we've got records... uh, a big record just broke in Belgium.
Club Interviewer: Now, a song like "Touch Me, I'm Dick" is about... what?
Cliff Poncier: Well, I think "Touch Me, I'm Dick," in essence, speaks for itself, you know. I think that, you know, that's basically what the song is, um... about... is about, you know... I-I think a lot of people might think it's actually about, you know,"My name is Dick, and, you know, you can touch me," but, I think, you know, it can be seen either way.
Genius!:D
LMAO...

I don't have HBO anymore, but was lucky enough to buy this on VHS for $1 awhile back. I just watched it again not too long ago, and had forgotten how funny it was.
I was 21 when this came out (yeah, I'm an oldie) so this movie definitely resonated with me. Now when I watch it, it's just a sweet little nostalgia-inducing flick. Love it, love it, love it!
Oh, and because I'm really a dork, I STILL want the Luv Co. and Sub Pop T-Shirts that Campbell Scott wears. I know the Sub Pop site has the SP t's, but can't find the Luv Co. shirts anywhere.
I also liked seeing the Mother Love Bone graffiti!
Cliff Poncier rocks!
FTR, I know this was a dorked out post, but what can I say? Singles brings it out in me.
Secondly, You are not a dork. It's a great movie and deserves our praise!:D
Dork... what a 90's word! Love it
The whole movies makes me go strange too... but then... People are strange...?!

It's amazing how Dillon says that with a straight face. That quote is sooo funny. :D:D
True, true.
Thanks! ITA.
I love Cameron in that scene.
And, who could forget the scene where Bridget Fonda sneezes and he says "bless you" followed by a compliment on her hat..."and I don't mean that in any Eddie Haskell kind of way." Heh.

Really, I think it's just certain pop culture things that make me realize how much time has passed, because I certainly don't feel that way inside.
I can't believe it's been 14 years since this movie came out! Unreal!
I feel exactly the same way...
When the movie first came out... i was 13... So much time has passed since then and so many things have changed - but watching it makes all the memories come flooding back in...
I feel very different... but then again... i feel a lot of the same...

and i love the scene with tim burton
probably there is no other film with so cool guest actors in it...
and if someone wants to have a grunge compilation he just has to buy the o.s.t. and gets almost everything he needs...
and in other cases i hate this kind of romantic comedy whatever movies;)

I definitely agree on the no talking about exes thing the first date/hangout.
Sometimes, parsing out these little details and questions for ourselves is half the fun of watching the movie.
