Story Synopsis:
Writer-director Cameron Crowe’s Singles weaves a lighthearted irresistible story of what young people do to make romance happen in today’s hilariously mixed-up singles world. The completely irresistible comedy features a stellar young cast in a fast paced and vivid enactment of real youth attitudes. The story follows three women living in Seattle and the various men in and out of their lives. The narrative is quaint and there are thematic stills such as “The theory of eternal dating,” that announce the various scenes which are picked up as chapter stops on the laserdisc. Several deleted scenes are included, one which features talking magazine covers that is very clever.
LaserDisc Picture:
The transfer retains the 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio. The picture looks fine with an occasional blur and washed-out color.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The stereo soundtrack is a real gem especially when played through the “rock” mode of our Fosgate•Audionics Processor/ THX® Controller. The sound wraps around adding a heighten sense of a “you are there” effect during the numerous rock music sequences. The music is well recorded with a wide stereo soundstage. The Dolby Surround® is both enveloping and aggressive.
