    If you want a swedish vampire crossover just watch Let The Right One In. My copy is in the post.

    It's times like these I have to point out, again, that I bought my C30 before I knew the shiny stalker drove one. #twilight

    Actually, it's my wife's obsession with "The Ghost Whisperer" that is creepy, but also kind of hot. #twilight

    Not just Christian, Mormon to be precise. The author is a Mormon. I just learned that from my wife.

    Actually my wife saw this commercial yesterday. Luckily we had recently looked at the XC60 and decided together that it is an absurd, overpriced, impractical vehicle, so when she realized the commercial was for the same car, she realized that her obsession with Twilight was just as absurd and has now given it up completely, and won't be making me go to the 2nd movie with her when it opens later this month.

    I wish. #twilight

    I think the market is for the moms and dads of 12 year old girls who have to sit through the movies or want to see the movies too and might notice a good looking SUV from Volvo? and since they can't get it on with a vampire they might go out and buy a new car. Sure that makes sense. #twilight

    "...the target demographic for this teen marketing campaign movie is 12-year-old girls. Is that really the market for Volvo XC60s? "

    No Wes, but the Twilight fan contingent of well-heeled 30-something fat chicks who grew up reading idiotic Anne Rice novels is.

    Sookie drives a canary yellow '75 Civic hatch.

    Vampire Bill drives a black E39.

    Jason drives a jacked-up Dodge Ram.

    Lafayette drives a white Merc R107 roadster (with purple velvet and leopard-skin interior.)

    Maryann the Maenad drives a candy apple red, lowered XJS convertible.

    Detective Bellfleur drives a Beige Ford Police Interceptor.

    You can tell whether a Vampire show or flick is any good by its choice of vehicles.

    @bmoreDLJ: Didn't Spike drive some sort of old blacked-out Lincoln Continental or Chrysler New Yorker in the TV series? With the windows blacked out, naturally, because he was a proper badass vampire and didn't "sparkle" or any sort of bullshit. #twilight

    Christians like this movie? I'm not exactly in tune with mass-market Christian trends, as a non-churchgoing believer, but I'm having a hard time reconciling that notion with the "boycotting" of Harry Potter.

    Speaking of weird hypocrisy and paradox, I have an Ichthus decal on the back of my VW, but have actually paid for sodomy several times before. I don't go to that dealer anymore, but still. #twilight

    even with rifftrax... i was not able to watch more than 15 minutes of the abomination....

    i had been warned--i have a number of friends who work in book stores/are avid readers... they told me the only reason to read more than 1 page was "train wreck syndrome".. you know it's bad. and you don't want to see how bad it gets... but you do... you have to... #twilight
