One of the things I've always loved about Modern Family is that, while it's a comedy primarily, the writers aren't afraid to explore the darker and more painful sides of situations. We saw it when Haley got kicked out of school, when Cam and Mitch didn't get their second baby, when Alex admits to a therapist she just needs some help, and even in smaller scenes like when Alex says she has no friends or when Luke's friend Mr. Kleezak defends himself against the Dunphy parents. So we've seen that Modern Family has no trouble touching on the hard topics- except, apparently, admitting that while Andy and Haley are wonderful together, Andy was cheating on Beth and was in the wrong. Instead, they have to make sure Andy comes out as the good guy by making Beth cheat on him too. This made what normally would have been a nice episode weak, especially when at the end Haley doesn't understand why Andy would be upset and Gloria (for some reason) agrees with her. It just feels like someone wimped out and took the easy way out to end the episode.

Why. Just why.

Let me make this clear: I loved these books. They are the best vampire series I have ever read, and when I heard that they were becoming a movie, I was ecstatic. I thought that maybe, FINALLY, people could see what really good vampires could be like. But I suppose after Eragon and Alex Rider, I should have known better than to give Hollywood that much credit. With the exception of Josh Hutchenson, no one was playing their character justly (or correctly!) and the way the movie arranged the story didn't even make sense. Not only do I want a retraction, I want a movie annulment- that way it never happened in the first place and someone can start all over and do it right.
