The Lost World: Jurassic Park: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. unmapped (intent): Godzilla ⇒ The Lost World: Jurassic Park (the host's read). A host suggests Spielberg wanted to make a Godzilla-style fun monster movie, which explains the San Diego ending.
    “I've always wanted to make like a Godzilla movie.”

The Lost World: Jurassic Park: 2 lines unmapped ×2

  1. unmapped (viewing memory): The Lost World: Jurassic Park → Godzilla. As a child, the speaker saw this, Godzilla and Batman & Robin without seeing the originals and loved the worse versions.
    “I was getting the shittier version of the one that everyone liked, but because I was so unexposed to it, I was like, this is great.”

Alien Resurrection: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Alien Resurrection → Godzilla. 1998 Godzilla and the first Jurassic Park shot their CGI creatures in rain and night to hide the rendering.

Lady in the Water: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (critic portrayal): Lady in the Water → Godzilla. Ranks directors who put film critics in their movies to shit on them, with Godzilla's Mayor Ebert gag, then Birdman, then Lady in the Water.

Planet of the Apes: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (hype letdown): Planet of the Apes → Godzilla. Both were hyped blockbusters whose letdown taught a young fan that advertising lied; Godzilla at least is structured like a movie.
