Oh, Bella, Where To Start?

I'm a proud Twilight fan, not a weird can't-have-a-bad-word-said-against-it psycho fan, just a regular girl that likes the series. I do have one huge problem with it, though. Bella. I could rant for hours on why I hate her, but why do that, when this pretty much sums up my every issue with the girl?

I get that Twilight is a dramatisation of first love but that never stopped me having the urge to slap Bella throughout New Moon and yell at her to 'get a grip,' and I do think it's worrying that girls could be watching it, believing her reaction to be that of a reasonable, rational person. Clearly, I'm not the only person that thought this...phew!

I would disagree with the writer on a few points, though. As it is about a girl who falls madly in love with a 108 year old vamp, I think it's kind of stupid to question how she manages to have a baby for him (not that I didn't find that highly creepy) - obviously, all logic has to get thrown out of the window with these books. Also, Jacob Black is NOT flawed. Yeesh, a guy happens to be descended from Werewolves and suddenly he's a bad guy. He's a good Werewolf, 'kay, so back off Jacob!

Other than that... *cheers wildly* for those non-Bella lovers!

Movie Prediction: Twilight

The thing that drew me in to 'Twilight' was the romance between Bella and Edward and the fact that, even though he was a vampire, Edward was still able to be utterly romantic. But, having seen the trailers, I'm starting to think the book is going to be more successful than the movie. There doesn't seem to be any chemistry between Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson and without that nothing in the story grips you because the relationship doesn't seem real. And then you have the issue over the acting...if you can't find a thirty second clip where your lead actors don't seem stiff, it's safe to assume there are very few of those moments. At the moment the role I'm excited to see is James; in all of the scenes I have watched his character draws me in the most, with Kristin and Robert they seem to be speaking the lines, where as I feel Cam is interpreting them and has really made them his own.
Who knows, in 3 months I could me writing that 'Twilight' exceeded all of my expectations...but I doubt it.
