Land Gets Worse

[SRP76]

One thing I did notice during this brief rewatch, and I'd love to spark some discussion on this... during the "what have we done to ourselves" scene Fran also says, "There hasn't been a broadcast for 3 days." She was late in the pregnancy (I'd guess 6-7 months). That implies that months into it they were still seeing broadcasts?? I never quite picked up on that before. Yup. Figure wherever they were broadcasting from was heavily guarded at first, and it took awhile for the dead to overrun it. Might have even been from an early "rescue station" that they got a head start on the dead with.

Cold War era government shelters had the capability of broadcating via television, so maybe they were getting sporadic government broadcasts from some underground bunker somewhere with the president smiling and saying "Hang in there, citizens, we are just about to turn the tide in our favor" Or maybe even a prerecorded and looped PSA about not getting bitten by zombies. ---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ---------- I've seen that look before folks. That's a woman who beat her man down until she got her way. I'm with Legion on that one. I too agree with legion and trin, having seen that look myself on a number on occasion over the past ten years from my wife.

So we're basing our thoughts on cold war era theories and that women control our thoughts? Guys...time for greener pastures.

Ok, so rewatched the fist half of Land the other day and I'll be damned if SRP isn't right about the piano tune whenever Big Daddy learns something. It's not a jangle, so much as a two chord switch. . but it is SO there. God, now that I have heard it. . it DOES make things worse. . .bah. And just when I was finally able to turn the brain off and enjoy the movie. . .alas.

Jebush.....you people are just noticing the BD theme? Honestly....do people pay attention to movies anymore, or is it all about the wikipedia/imdb? I remember noticing the theme on the first theater showing back in 05. I don't see how you could miss it considering it's really different from the rest of the score. I like it, though...

I think a lot of people in the "Land Haterrrz" camp just mentally switch off when the growling one is on screen to be honest...hence the missing of any small details associated with him.

I've never really noticed scoring before. . .which is the way it is supposed to be. It is supposed to be so integral to the movie that it is not supposed to be noticed. Having said that. . .now that I notice the Big Daddy Theme. . .it's pretty funny really. . .like sensitive music for sensitive zombies.

When we were having the initial round of Land love vs. hate wars I went back and watched Land just to listen to the music (since there was a lot of "music sucked compared to Dawn" talk). And I never noticed this jingly little learning phenomenon. I guess we know what Dr. Logan was playing to Bub on that cassette recorder.
