On the other hand, the bad guy in the movie "Godzilla 2000" (a classic!) looks extremely "Western" among the Japanese -- and is dubbed to talk like John Wayne. (Of course, the Godzilla movies have traditionally been anti-nuke, thus having an anti-US subtext. But then again, in this one it's asserted that scientists somehow created Goddie in the lab. At the end, it turns out that "there's a little bit of Godzilla in all of us.") Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] & http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/~jdevine
