Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus

Movie buffs (and not only)!

I realize (albeit moderately) that it's not very nice to subject your lively attention to reviews that need to be read at such a short distance from each other.

However, well, allow me briefly: today there's a mistral wind that polishes the stones like no other industrial sandblasters and therefore the planned swim in the waves of the southwestern island's tides has been classified among the activities to be considered very improper as well as unlikely, so I have finally decided to brighten the contemplative afternoon with an intense extract of that arthouse cinema, the kind they - alas - no longer make, a genuine and succulent serving of film-made-culture.

What better occasion than to dedicate myself (and you) to the phantasmagorical cinematic piece of epic proportions, legendary for its misdeeds among a select few, under the title "Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus."

I realize (again albeit moderately) that this is an obscure minor title which with reasonable probability the vast majority of you, avid scholars and aficionados of quality cinema, might have only heard mentioned in passing due to the presence of the mythical Renegado Vincenzo Lamas (or maybe he was called Vittorio? Vercingetorix? Who knows!), but, grant me blind trust this once, you just need to watch this fragment [Hey! I said this fragment! Can't you read? Yes, I said this. Yes, exactly this. And don't go any further if you haven't watched this. And don't make me repeat it: this. This yes]  to agree with the amazed disheveled writer that we are faced with something immeasurable, unspeakable, absolutely ahead of anything that has ever been filmed before starting from those Bolsheviks the Lumière Brothers up to today.

In order to avoid spoiling your long-desired viewing, I take care not to reveal anything of the intricate, thrilling and twist-filled plot, certain that the fragment posted above won't need any further propellant pushes to fuel your understandably growing film curiosity.

Watch it, devour it, absorb it, make it intimately yours! Let it be recommended with passion to friends, relatives, colleagues, passersby, and strangers: for each of them the "after" will never be like before.

After all, metaphysical abstractions like this are not something you see every day.

Not really.
