Bestimmt war der Apostroph auch ein Akut oder Gravis.

Wo pendelt sie denn? Von einem Friedhof zum anderen?
Home-Office ist als Friedhofsgärtner eher schlecht. Außer sie wohnt dort und ist tot.

Ich finde eigentlich v.a. die erste Hälfte des Satzes bullshittig: "Für Jenny, die einfach nur Jenny genannt werden will" Ah ja...

[Tyler Durden]

Ich als Spon-Praktikant hätte daraus gemacht: "Für Jennifer (Name von der Red. geändert) bedeutet Pendeln…"

[Aelanum]

Dann aber gleich richtig: "Für Jennifer (Name von der Red. geändert *evil laugh*) bedeutet Pendeln…"

[Arwen gegen den Vulkan]

Just saw this last night, fortunately I knew what the film was about before I watched it, because if I had been relying on the DVD box (Metrodome UK release) i'd have been pretty annoyed.

The cover art has Jet Li, Jackie Chan (in a Kung Fu stance) and Donnie Yen, all in white robes, a mountain setting and an ancient looking building and two crossed swords strongly suggesting a period martial arts film. There are also very small figures which appear to be soldiers, only on very close examination can they be made out to be in 20th century dress. The title, together with the tagline, "when an empire falls, a nation is born," seems to be describing the 1911 revolution and the fall of the Ching Dynasty.

The blurb on the back is almost as bad, written as vagely as possible in such a way as to give almost no clue about the plot, save to mention "a heroic battle in one man’s revolutionary fight for freedom" and "a rousing tale of one man who fought against the tyranny of a ruler and led his people in battle in the ultimate sacrifice for his country."

The unwary viewer would be in for quite a shock when they put the DVD on, for they would discover that far from a period martial arts epic, they were actually viewing a propaganda film covering the last four years of the Chinese Civil War and the founding, not of Sun Yat-Sen's Republic, but the People's Republic of China in 1949. That far from starring roles, Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen all have cameos so brief they could easily be missed during a toilet break. Indeed, Jackie Chan is simply billed as "journalist" and is on screen for less than a minute, his most flamboyant move scribbling shorthand into a notepad.

The man spoken of in the blurb turns out to be Chairman Mao (painted as a jovial uncle figure), who far from making "the ultimate sacrifice for his country", is very much alive and well at the end. But the biggest disappointment for me, given the high production values and the fact it covers the final years of the Chinese Civil war, is the fact that there are almost no proper battle scenes (save a bombing raid), with the two hour plus running time given over to interminable political discussions among characters most of whom appear only for a single scene.

This can be recommended only for those with a great interest in 20th century Chinese history, or who really like playing spot the star cameo a la The Longest Day. Metrodome pulled a similar trick with Aftershock, but this is really brassnecked stuff, i'm only surprised they didn't change the title as well to something suitably vague. I'll be amazed if they aren't flooded with complaints from hoodwinked customers.
