130.0. "Singles" by 12368::michaud (Jeff Michaud, DECnet/OSI) Fri Apr 09 1993 20:49

	This one stars:

		bridget fonda	- Janet
		campbell scott	- Steve
		kyra sedgwick	- Linda
		matt dillon	- Cliff

	Curious how Ms. Fonda keeps ending up in movies with "Single"
	in the title (ala "Single White Female")!

	This movie is about a bunch of single people (all the stars + more)
	carrying on with life.  It's a slow moving movie, with a few
	funny lines, a few dramatic moments, and some interesting music.

	The performance that stuck out the most to me was by Kyra Sedgewick.
	She really carried the whole movie for me.  If it wasn't for her,
	I probably would of rewound the tape in the middle.  Which other
	movies has she been in?  I'd say "Mystic Pizza" but I think I'm
	getting her mixed up with Julia Roberts.

	Oh yea, another video release with additional footage that didn't
	make it into the movie (after the closing credits).  In fact,
	one clip appeared to be a whole short subject film.  In any case,
	the extra clips at the end were no more exciting than the rest
	of the film.

130.1Bridget Fonda is EVERYWHERE!!!TNPUBS::NAZZAROPayin' for 12 years of ReagonomicsMon Apr 12 1993 14:129
    Is it just me, or is Brifget Fonda in every third movie made in
    Hollywood these days?  This weekend, I saw her in "Strapless" on
    regular TV, a movie I didn't even know she was in, ans "Singles" on
    PPV.  Last week, I saw "Point of No Return", in which she was
    terrific.  Could whoever has access to it post the list of all the
    movies she's been in?  I'm VERY curious at the number, and how many
    I've seen.  Thanks.

130.2She's going to burn herself out like Charlie Sheen did12368::michaudJeff Michaud, DECnet/OSIMon Apr 12 1993 15:582
	She's also in another NEW movie opening this weekend or next

130.3Not Fonda in the leadKOLFAX::WIEGLEBWho is 'The Loneliest Monk'?Mon Apr 12 1993 18:427
    Re: "xxx and Joan"
    
    If you are thinking of "Benny & Joon", it is not Bridget Fonda in the
    lead, it is Mary Stuart Masterson.  I don't recall seeing Fonda in any
    of the clips.

130.7good movieVAXWRK::STHILAIREbut faith is another matterTue Apr 13 1993 16:4815
    I enjoyed Singles a lot, and went to see it twice while it was still in
    the theaters.  I, also, want to rent it soon and watch it again.  I
    thought there were many amusing/clever scenes and lines that I could
    relate to.  
    
    Even though the movie was about the 20 something singles scene, and I'm
    over 40, after being single for the past 8 yrs., I could still relate to 
    just about the entire movie.
    
    Bridget Fonda was my favorite character and was the one that I could
    relate the most to, although I could also relate to the Kyra Sedgewick
    character.

130.8Really???? Drop Dead Fred?MOLAR::MCPARTLANWed Apr 14 1993 14:276
Who did Bridget Fonda play in Drop Dead Fred?? I've seen that movie like 
5 times and loved it (silly, I know) and I don't remember her. Don't 
tell me she was Anabella???

130.9Don't believe everything you read...QUARRY::reevesJon Reeves, ULTRIX compiler groupWed Apr 14 1993 19:544
The USENET lists are generally just a starting point; they often are
missing titles, and sometimes have spurious entries from
overenthusiastic and misinformed fans.  So -- she *may* have been in
Drop Dead Fred.

    Great stuff.  Great music.  An excellent way to lose a couple of hours.
    Seattle looks like a nice place...
