I have to admit I don't have a clue what anime is.
When I say old fart I mean OLD FART!

I know I'm an old fart but that seems to be SOP because the last thing people want is originality. Car chases and explosions are what counts.
And boobs. Don't forget the boobs (which I strongly suspect is how Johansson gets most of her 'acting' gigs).

Butts in seats is all that counts. ScarJo brings people that may not even be interested in the anime, and most fans of the series will see it anyways. It's a win win for the studio. They're not even remotely concerned with making an artful product.

Wait...wait...are you saying that big-budget studio films are *gasp* profit motivated? I am profoundly shocked...

Glad I could pull the wool, Boru.
That'll be just $3.99, sir.
