All credit to zombie 04 for starting this line of discussion. Maybe I am the only one who finds it irritating, but once a thread gets too big it is hard for me to follow all the "more replies below current depth" links to get to the new posts.
Anyway, I just watched Land again. I think this is the only 3rd time I have watched it, once in the theatre, once when the DVD first came out, and now. Funny, after watching it this time I cant remember why I didnt like it too much. It actually was very enjoyable. But as far as the timeline goes, everyone keeps saying that Land is "three years" after the outbreak. I saw no reference to that whatsoever. The only thing that I guess makes people say three years is that Cholo says to Kaufman "I've worked for you for 3 years". Wouldnt it be more logical that Cholo worked for Kaufman before the outbreak, and continued his employ after the outbreak? What, a rich powerful guy like Mr. K would not want to deal with anyone who he had dealings with before the outbreak? Seems more likely that he would want to deal with people he already knew and knew he could trust (read: manipulate). Is this why people say three years later, or is there some other time reference that I missed? I cant imagine that all the people outside the Green who were ****ed off about the people inside the Green would still be standing outside bitching 3 years later. As Big Daddy showed, anyone could easily get in the building by simply smaching the glass. And when the guy hangs himself, the wife seemed totally unfamiliar with the idea that he was going to "come back". Three years had passed and she doesnt know this yet??!? I submit that this had to be much less than 3 years into the plague.
