The Eclipse (2022)

[reviews_and_ramblings]

 Having loved this pair in Only Friends, I wanted to give it a try to The Eclipse, but I think this is not my cup of tea. High school romance is not my favorite setting, and while the couple was nice, the story was too less romance and too much thriller for me to appreciate. It's not that the thriller is something too much scaring or other, is that, for me, there is too little romance in comparison. HEA. You can see it on Youtube. Heat Level: 3/6. After writing this, a nice comment had me thinking that I was too harsh. Indeed the series is good, yes, it's not the romance I like, but the actors and their roles are well written and played. If you are in for a good characters development, for sure I suggest to give this one a chance.

Heat Level:

1/6: glances, caress, hugs, no kisses

2/6: kisses, closed mouth or camera angles

3/6: full kisses, clothes on

4/6: full kisses, some clothes off, hands above the waist, pants stay on

5/6: most clothes off, they have sex, but it’s masked, no sexy sounds

6/6: full nudity mostly hidden by camera angles, they have sex, sexy sounds

Ok. I've not seen either of these so I'll take your word for it.

Truth be told, I don’t think Love in the Air is good for you… it’s a very silly story, but it’s sort of conforting for me. There are moments like Christmas that are very bad for me, I’m basically alone, just me and my three cats, so I just need to not think and be distracted.

Yeah. I've learned to avoid MAME.

I'm on my own too. Haven't spoken with anyone other than delivery drivers since a mammogram a month ago. I'm not good at not thinking so I need to be careful with my distractions. Silliness is great but I can't bring myself to overlook certain things like a lot of drama fans do. It means I'm isolated even amongst fans.

I'm sorry. I was diagnosed with cancer, and got under surgery to remove it, in January 2010. I lost my father to cancer in March 1994, but he was first operated in December 1991, and last hospitalized in December 1993. My mother died in January 2019... so yes, these are the worst months of the year for me.
But if you want to talk about series, I'm a drama free person. I don't judge other taste, I'm pretty much aware that what I like is not what other may like. Every life is different, and every perception is different. I can evade reading a stupid book or a seeing a silly series, through, my favorite gay movie is Maurice, far from being silly, but I also like The Wedding Banquet, and totally dislike Brokeback Mountain... I have never seen Titanic, but I love Notting Hill...

I'm sorry you've been through all that. How is your health now?

Cancer has not returned, but after years taking daily medicines, my blood value were very bad. I was hospitalized this past July, and went under a 4 months therapy to try to adjust it. I got the green check the first week of December, so I suppose fine. But I have to be always under control. I'm now used to it. I suppose I should be lucky I removed it in time.
I don't want to give you the impression I'm unhappy or all, just sometime I feel lonely, especially when everyone is spending time with their family. But I have friends online I can talk too if I'm down, and I have two dear friends I can meet if I feel really really down, so yes, I'm fine.

That's good :)
