Where I’ve Been

By Amanda – Posted on

Hello friends,

It feels like I’m emerging from a void or the “upside-down” with this blog post. It’s been a very long time since I’ve written here. I have some interesting updates that explain where I’ve been all this time.

My 2018 had a very slow start but has become a life-changing year. I began 2018 focused on applying to jobs and updating this website, all while working a part-time retail job. Finally, 80 job applications later, I got an opportunity to start my career in environmental management with an amazing two-year internship! I got news about my placement in June, and by July I had moved to a new city and started my job.  

I now live in Peterborough, Ontario. It’s a small, growing city with lots of character. Callie made it to Peterborough too, and together we’ve been getting settled in our new home. If anything, she’s adjusted much better than me. I still wake up confused sometimes, unable to tell whether I’m in Vancouver, Ottawa or Peterborough. Funny how it feels like it took forever to get to this point, yet my body still hasn’t adjusted to the new reality. 

My new city is beautiful in a small city way. The neighborhoods are lined with big, old trees, and the houses here have colonial style (think archways, columns, and bedroom attics). I’m still adjusting to all my new routines, but I’ve been loving going to work. It’s rewarding to be able to use the knowledge and skills that I’ve spent so long developing. All I wanted while working retail was to be intellectually challenged. I won’t take that for granted now.  

Well, that’s my update. Now that things have settled down, I hope to write here more frequently. Stay tuned for more updates on “Callie and Amanda’s Grand Adventure” haha. 

I hope you’ve all been well too!

  2. The Australian government has issued a stern warning to horror fans flocking to cinemas to see the ultra-violent slasher film
    Terrifier 3, cautioning audiences about its extreme content and disturbing
    themes.

    The film, directed by Damien Leone, has drawn huge crowds since it’s release on October 10, as it continues
    the blood-soaked saga of Art the Clown with more gruesome, stomach-churning scenes.

    The movie has broken box office records as horror enthusiasts
    are lured in by the film’s reputation for intense violence and shock value.

    The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts has
    warned Australian audiences to prepare for
    scenes of graphic violence, dismemberment and disturbing themes
    that go well beyond typical horror fare.

    The film includes brutal depictions of murder using a variety of weapons,
    from chainsaws to axes and guns, resulting in explicit injury detail and copious amounts of blood.

    The warning also highlights that the movie portrays
    self-harm, cannibalism, animal cruelty and violence involving children, pushing the boundaries of what
    the most hardened horror fans has seen before.

    One of the film’s more controversial moments includes a
    scene of implied masturbation coupled with self-harm, along with a shower scene that hints at sexual activity.

    In addition, male genital nudity and obscured shots of female breast and buttock nudity
    have caused concern among viewers and the classification board alike.

    The film’s R18+ rating in Australia is due to its high impact violence, blood, gore and explicit sexual content.

    Despite these warnings, audiences have turned out in droves.

    Many cinema-goers in Sydney and Melbourne reportedly clapped and cheered during some of the film’s most grotesque death scenes.

    This latest instalment of the Terrifier franchise is a continuation of the sadistic
    horror unleashed by Art the Clown, a character who has now
    become a modern horror icon for his relentless brutality.

    In Terrifier 3, Art’s reign of terror continues, once
    again targeting Sienna Shaw who narrowly survived his attacks
    in the previous movie.

    Sienna, portrayed by actress Lauren LaVera, takes on Art in a deadly showdown that is as gory as it is horrifying,
    featuring scenes of decapitations, dismemberments and visceral body horror.

    injured

    The Terrifier franchise, which began in 2016, quickly gained a cult following due to its extreme violence and over-the-top death scenes.

    The first film, which saw Art the Clown mutilate a
    victim with a hacksaw, shocked audiences with its brutal kill sequences.

    The sequel, Terrifier 2, went viral last year after reports emerged that viewers were fainting and
    vomiting in cinemas due to its graphic content.

    Now, with Terrifier 3, Leone has doubled down on the carnage, taking the gore to new, unsettling levels.

    Despite Australia’s strict film censorship laws, Terrifier 3 was approved for theatrical release with a
    strong warning attached.

    The film’s notoriety has only heightened its appeal to
    horror fans, who continue to fill cinemas across the country.

    Earlier this month, two people fainted and fled for the exit when it hit a Perth cinema for early previews.

    According to multiple eye witness accounts, one young woman badly injured herself after she fell down the cinema stairs while fleeing the
    movie theatre.

    ‘This is going to sound made up and I promise you it’s not,’ Australian horror film critic
    Emma Clarke began her review of David Leone’s controversial new horror-slasher.

    The Rotten Tomatoes verified critic said two people fainted right in front of
    her during the screening she attended at Innaloo Cinemas in Perth over the
    weekend.

    The first fainted during the opening scene, she said in her film review shared to YouTube, and the second nearer to the end of
    the two-house spectacle.

    ‘Can you tell me… why did two people feint right in front of me during
    that film?’ she said.

    ‘Both trying to run down the stairs to get
    to the bathrooms because they felt so queasy.’

    The horror film fanatic said she spoke to both people and tried to assist them because she was seated
    directly behind them.

    The first was a man, who left with a friend who came to check on him, and second Australian victim was a young woman.

    ‘This poor girl gashed her head open as she
    fell down the stairs, I felt so bad for her.

    I went and checked on her afterwards,’ Clarke claimed.

    ‘She did get help. She was with her friend. It really shook me up too.
    It actually took me out of the film for the moment.’

    The reviewer, who has been sharing her thoughts
    on scary movies for the past four years, said she has never
    seen audience members have such a visceral reaction to a film.

    Many cinema-goers in Sydney and Melbourne reportedly clapped and
    cheered during some of the film’s most grotesque death scenes

    Clarke described the third installment of Leone’s series — which is set to open nationally on Thursday, October 11 —
    as ‘ fun, intense, gory, disturbed, and over
    the top.’

    ‘I’m not used to horror actually hurting people,
    so that was a really strange experience,’ she said.

    ‘Before anyone says they’re paid actors, I saw the girl and she had injuries.
    They were both very young people. I feel really awful about it to be
    honest.’

    ‘It was a very scary moment trying to help them out.’
