Now Hollywood has created a real monster--a souped-up, emotionless, dinosaur-like killing machine sans the charisma of the original Godzilla. Shame on you, Hollywood! What's next? A sequel to E.T. with the lovable little alien transformed into a terrifying Alien 3 or a Predator? DONALYN GROSS Springfield, Mass...
