Kia Ora when it glowed in the dark.

Marlborough Bus Station

Pencils in Eldon Square

Handyside Arcade

Traffic in Northumberland Street

Motor bikes been ridden over waste ground that'd become the Metro Centre

Dunston Power Station

Pubs (and no houses) along Scotswood Road.

The Metro being new and seeming luxurious - anyone remember the carry one when one years pound coin used to get eaten by the ticket machines?

Disappointing really, probably ineveitable after the hype. For me the whole cohesiveness of the gang was implausible and the plot was horribly contrived. Some of the dialogue was awful (e.g. the cringe inducing nostalgia shared by Lol and Milky on the hospital roof). Also:

 

Weren't Meggy and Banjo neo nazis in the film? Going to have a hard job explaining how Milky has forgiven them.

What the fuck has happened to Smell? She looks like something from a fantasy horror.

Why was the hospital completely deserted? Couldn't they afford extras?

 

There was also little sense of the time period involved and criminally there was very little use of sound tracks or historical references (the WC in Mexico was barely alluded to).

 

On the positive side Shaun was believeable and the lava lamp scene was amusing.

 

In conclusion, hope this improves but not now really looking forward to the rest of it.
