Weren't the Bay City Rollers considered a lame, teeny-bopper version of Slade? Even down to the tartan outfits. Thanks for these, I'd forgotten about Slade.

Goofball_Jones: Slade also originally did Mama Weer all Crazee Now, annother of Quiet Riot's "hits".
As the other old farts here might recall, Quiet Riot jumpstarted the 80s hair-metal craze. Singer Kevin DuBrow made a lot of enemies, especially in the press, by constantly insisting on getting credit for having done so. He repeatedly accused other bands of riding on the wave of his band's success. This being highly amusing and Ironic, considering their biggest hits were Slade covers.

The song is from 1984, but Slade is the archetypal 70s band. So I fixed the tags, thanks.

What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old band who died? That they were beautiful and brilliant? That they loved Mozart and Bach, the Beatles, and me?

Oh, wait -- scratch that. Wrong seventies reference.

What can you say about a band that inspired KISS and Cheap Trick, Great Big Sea and Oasis, and, some say, may have been Spinal Tap v 1.0? That they were ugly, cuddly and approachable? That on a good day, Noddy could come close to spelling "Mozart"?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Slade.

One of the best movies to come out last year, Ellen Page was just incredible. Great film.

Hard Candy is a 2005 film about Hayley Stark, a 14-year-old girl who meets Jeff, a 32-year-old photographer who might be a sexual predator. The two first get to know each other on the Internet before meeting in person at a local coffee shop, which results in a trip to Jeff's home; however, Jeff soon learns that Hayley is not as innocent as she appears. The title "Hard Candy" comes from the internet slang for an under-aged girl.

It is British director David Slade's first feature film, having previously worked mostly with music videos.

Well if the Slade Song makes it through then so should this. The two classics that get wheeled out every Christmas (in Britain anyway).

Scent of a Woman is a 1992 film which tells the story of a preparatory school student who takes a job as an assistant to an irascible blind, medically retired Army officer. It stars Al Pacino, Chris O'Donnell, James Rebhorn, Gabrielle Anwar, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. It won the Academy Award for Best Actor (Al Pacino) and was nominated for Best Director, Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.

This should be watched by everyone growing up. Some trivia for you

* Al Pacino was helped by a school for the blind in preparation for his role. He says he made himself look blind by not focusing his view on anything, and that using prosthetic contact lenses would "fake" his performance.

* During the disciplinary meeting, the headmaster tells Slade "You are out of order!", a line told to another of Pacino's characters in ...And Justice for All (1979).

* Director Martin Brest disowned the version of the film shown on airlines and television.

* In order to get Charlie out of the hotel room Slade asks him to buy some aspirins and a Montecristo no. 1 cigar, a Cuban product banned in the US due to the Cuban embargo. As this task is impossible it would keep Charlie away for a long time.

* Pacino prepared for the famous "tango" scene in the movie by taking intensive Argentine tango lessons at DanceSport, a Manhattan dance studio located near Columbus Circle.

* Slade notices the girl he will tango with a few minutes later by her smell. When Slade and Charlie talk to her, she tells her name was Donna - which is the Italian word for "woman". The approach scene therefore is a homage to the title of the original 1974 movie Profumo Di Donna.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

From the YouTube Post:

Patrick Wilson, Ellen Page, Brian Nelson and director David Slade attend the Los Angeles premiere of Hard Candy and talk with WireImage about the dark, intense nature of the film.
