A Fresh Look at 'Singles'

So Elizabethtown wasn't exactly all that. Time to queue up Singles again and revel in classic Crowe. Take another look at the film through these eyes:
> Nirvana was actually supposed to contribute to the soundtrack, but backed out at the last minute. An alternate title for the film was Come As You Are.
> Chris Cornell actually took two of the dummy track names off the Citizen Dick setlist and recorded songs from them ("Seasons" and Soundgarden's "Spoonman").
> Did you catch Eric Stolz as the mime? How about Tim Burton as the video date director? What about Sideways star Paul Giamatti as an extra?
> Contrary to popular belief, Singles was never meant to capitalize on the growing Seattle sound since filming was well underway when grunge was born. The film actually started production in 1984 yet kept getting delayed.
