Two Cheers For The Blubbering Idiot

So...
I just watched 'Eclipse'.


I know I'm a bit late, and when I mean 'bit', I mean 'extremely' but I really had to be in the mood for these.
Before boredom and curiosity actually got to me, together at the same time, I was previously one of 'those' people who disliked the idea of the Twilight series before really giving it an honest chance.
When I watched it, it sucked lesser than I thought it would.
I mean I try my level's best to keep an open mind when I'm watching movies, because the skeptic inside of me always somehow comes alive and asks stupid questions like, 'Why?' instead of 'Why not?'.
Still... even though I know this is just a movie, with a powdered, plasticly good looking cast about Vampires and Humans and nothing in between, I just can't seem to wrap my head around one MAIN thing:

Bella Swan.


Look at her... with that idiotically awkward expression her face. Remember, Kristen Stewart Stalkers, I am not insulting the actress, but the character... EVERYTHING about the character.
As if it doesn't suck enough that she already has to worry about trying to walk without falling, answering questions without stuttering in her daily life and scrunching her hair when in doubt... they make her choose between Edward and Jacob.
And guess what, she can't do it! Not at first...
So she secretly-obviously dates them both... kissing one in front of the other, so on..so forth.
I mean, you know, until she marries Edward.
Because she loves him more than she loves Jacob.

Is anyone understanding this better than I am?



I get where Stephanie Myer was going, but this by itself is a little too much. Yes, I'm actually daring to say that in a world filled with blood-thirsty, fashionable vampires and 6 packed werewolves who don't own shirts, it is kinda absurd that Bella fucking Swan was allowed to love two rivals at the same time and do whatever she wanted.
And then she married one, but that's not the point.

She's SO AWKWARD. She can't walk without falling and can't talk without thinking for 10 years first whilst making stupid facial expressions, but she's given the deadly task of choosing between a werewolf and a vampire?


If this was real life, Bella would have just died from thinking about it.

Maybe this is why I should have just not watched any of this.
