to summarize, it was a financial success, but also proved to be a huge commercial flop. you guys are fighting two different arguments, and you're both right.
Sigh.
My point is that "Godzilla98" was financially successful. What "Tristar" did afterwards is irrelavant.
Done.
Say... where are you in Philly?
