Ick.  We aren't talking about Godzilla 1985, are we?  I hated it until I saw
it on Svengoolie--their "Sven-surround" dubbed vocal track made it much more
bearable! :-)

1)  remains to be seen--let's see how bright these money-makers really are!;
2)  as in another post, I really like the soundtracks to both ID4 and
Stargate--the less-than-serious vocals in BOC's Godzilla can be remedied by
doing an instrumental version of the song.  Maybe--once we find out more in
terms of which studio and whether the ID4/Stargate team is actually part of
the project--we could help nudge them in the direction of BOC with some
friendly email & snail mail suggestions?
