"the other big Japanese Movie project- (Can't even remember the name- highly realistic characters in a BORING Sci-Fi plot- came out in 2001) was a HUGE MONEY LOSER!" Mmmm, and your conclusion that it was a huge money loser is based on what? The movie was called Final Fantasy, and just because you didn't understand the plot doesn't mean it was boring. Did you actually see the movie? Were you expecting a Hollywood storyline from a Japanese film? Sorry for my tone.
