I want to agree with you about lengthy titles not appealing to the American market, but you can't forget crap like "Star Wars Episode N: Blahbity Blah Blah" or "Lord of the Rings: The Whichever Title We're On Now". I mean, I consider that an example of the dumbing down of the American market as well, where you have to include as many references to the series as humanly possible in order to draw a crowd.
