I know all you fangirls have seen the trailer just dropped for The Damned, right? Probably got screenshots too.

Well, in case you didn’t get screenshots, here ya go.

And JUST IN CASE you have not seen the trailer:

Smart PR people, making sure Rory’s face was in the thumbnail.

It always amuses me to see him in something horror. We’ve talked about that before: he hates watching horror films. He’ll hide his face for the jump scares and probably the grody stuff. I’m the same way. Like, I love The Walking Dead, but I have to be crocheting or knitting as I’m watching it, that way I have an excuse to look down at strategic moments. So I get it, but it’s still funny to me. It is of course never the same experience being the actor and being the audience. Remember Rory talking about the scene in Game of Thrones with the zombie bear but all he saw was like a tennis ball and a green screen? Yeah. Never as scary to film it. So that’s why.

Well, and this was made in Iceland. Note to entertainment industry: If you want Rory in your project, film it in Iceland. You’re welcome. That’ll be eleventy billion dollars plz.

Just kidding.

No I’m not.

BUT, it looks like it will be a really good flick AND it is coming out the month of my birthday. I am so stoked. I live in a smallish town now, but it has a movie theater. WATCH me get my ass over there and see it. Might be matinee on opening day but god dawg it… Same goes for Gladiator II this next month if I can at all help it.

Hoping I can help it.

EXCITEMENT

Ahem. As you were. Sorry I ran a little late with this but you know what I always say: I chronicle. I do not scoop. It’s not even on purpose. It’s just me setting low expectations so I am less of a disappointment. I’m sneaky like that. You’re welcome.
