Brilliant new friend Erica has a blog post up on the new Godzilla film, expanding on the highly intriguing theory she put forth at the Supersecret Writing Retreat:
Godzilla (2014) is actually a shot-for-shot remake of Kipling’s Rikki-Tikki Tavi.
(Obvious spoiler warning.)
I fully endorse and support Erica’s interpretation. It just makes total and absolute sense.
(And yes, this is the kind of thing that’s thought up and talked about when SpecFic writers get together and write and drink a lot.)
Are SpecFic writers allowed to read Kipling? Isn’t he on the proscribed list?
Hmmm It sounds like something we dreamed up when I was in college but we weren’t drinking we were ahhh ahhh not inhaling <cough<
