Long Weekend (Thoongsook 13)





The story involves six teenagers who head to mysterious isolated island for a weekend of partying. Trouble is, the island has a dark and ancient history, of a sacrificial rite held during the so-called "blood moon" that is meant to keep the "devouring ghost" at bay. And of course, these kids are visiting the island during that very time.

But let's back up a bit, to the boyhood of the title character Thongsuk. He was always not quite right and a bit sickly. It's in the school infirmary where he's resting and his best friend Nam comes with a headache. Thongsuk, wanting to impress the girl, has her take off his amulet necklace, which is supposed to ward off ghosts. She does so and Thongsuk immediately lapses into a ghost-caused seizure and bangs his head on the bedframe. From then on, because of his head injury, Thongsuk is even more off and is consequently bullied by the other kids. Only Nam defends him.

So when Nam (Cheeranat Yusanon), the guys Jack (Acharanat Ariyaritwikol) and Boi (Sean Jindachot) and the lipstick lesbian girlfriends Beam (Busarin Yokpraipan) and Pui (Gitlapat Garasutraiwan) make plans to go to the island without Thongsuk (Chinnawut Intarakusin), Thongsuk schemes to somehow surprise them.

Instead, everyone is surprised, thanks to the evil spirits on the island and Thongsuk being a conduit for them.

What follows is the usual setup of these types of teen-slasher movies in which the hedonistic characters get what's coming to them as they are possessed, picked off or devoured one by one by a mysterious force. Blood and gore fly as grey, smoky CGI baddies haunt the kids. It's like Cabin in the Woods, though less tongue-in-cheek. Backwards-bending characters bring to mind the current Hollywood hit horror Mama.
Nam emerges as the heroine, who must at all costs keep a candle burning to ward off the bad spirits and survive the night.

Of course there's a red herring or two to put you and Nam off the scent. Let's just say if you're in a horror movie and Wonderful Town's Anchalee Saisoontorn turns up as your mother, you might not want to trust her.




 











Overall, its actually not bad. You should check it out.

Outrage

Here is what's supposed to happened...

There’s something I would like to discuss. I was told to confront you guys in order to solve a problem. Keep avoiding gets nothing done and everybody suffers. Talking face to face might not be the best so I’ve chosen this method. Some of the things below may offend you but was not expressed specifically to hurt you in any way. You may correct me if I’m wrong. I really appreciate feedbacks cause in that way I can only see what I did and can reflect upon.

Firstly, I want to say going through this sem was not simple. Everyone had to study extra and do extra. If one sem is like that, what happens in two sems. Everyone unhappy and doing things for themselves.

I want to point out the fact that I’m not a supercomputer and you can’t expect me to know everything.I would really appreciate if someone would take the initiative to do things at times. You just keep saying he “ng deh ng diu”… “he so slow”…”he so last minute”. You could have always asked “so when are we gonna start that that assignment?” Can we start this week? I dun wan do last minute. I take this part now. Later I send to you. Or “Can I do that part?”, What can I do? Can I help you with the slides? Can I help you do the reference?

You can’t just expect me to explain every single detail of the assignment to you. We kinda read the same instruction paper, go to the same class, listen to the same crap the lecturer is talking. And even times when I was absent and you’re present and you still pretend that you have zero idea. So, I’m supposed to take all the blame when it’s wrong? The plus side, I bet you know ten times the people I know. So, instead of taking initiative of asking around, getting more info that might help the group, you just wait and see what was given to you to do??

Another issue, you dun have time? My time is not time, your time is time. You can go out all night, do this do that. Have to study for midterm etc…We basically take the same subjects.

I get the impression that you’re sick of picking up their leftovers and finishing things up and has given up entirely. You’re thinking why should I help them? Why on earth they can’t do anything? So now you just want to do your part and focus on your studies more? Care less about everything else? Cause a group isn’t like that..

 Okay, somehow I got some feedback that somehow you might think that you’re useless. Whatever you do will eventually mean nothing. Well, did you ask yourself you’ve tried in the first place? Consulted the lecturer personally? Asked what’s wrong and not what should I put inside? Do some homework? You think your English is beyond repair but did you put efforts in improving it?

 Some even told me you asked someone else to do the assignment for you. You know what, I won’t mind as long as you did something and it’s useful. Copy paste? At least clean up the evidence. Change the style? You just give the impression whatever you’re doing is useless and doing it is stupid. You straight tell, I duno. How should I do this? Send the whole thing and ask is this useable. Is this correct?

Having fun is your thang. That’s it period. It’s like studying is not one important part of your life and god knows whether you’re gonna work or you just work for yourself. From foundation till now, normal people would have learnt at least that little bit. That tiny bit of self-awareness. Or maybe I just dun get you.

You know you’re weak in certain areas and needs to be pushed at times. But somehow you would prefer to avoid academics whenever possible.

 I know I’m the worst motivator out there. My management skills sucks. Not the best time keeper. Not the best academically. Not the best relationship wise. All in all, I may be nobody to you at all. Spitting all these ain’t no easy task and I’m not sure it’ll make things worse or better. I just wish to clear things up before we proceed further. Just correct me if I’m wrong.

Then I changed it into something more subtle

I want to say something and i think instead of hearing rumours its better to hear it from me. I think many people misunderstood RM as something similar to FYP. Although it is almost the same, most people have the perception that the same group goes on to FYP. To be frank, RM is just a subject and like everyone is saying the pre-FYP which is an experiment to test out the cohesiveness of the group.

To express some of the members' opinions which includes me, not all members have contributed equally.

I admit I should have used this opportunity to have at least teach how a group should operate. I admit I'm not be the best in everything. There are things that even I do not know. I'm also human and I have my own weaknesses. But at the same time also hoping people would have some self awareness to show initiative in times and in helping out each other.

I'm not sure how you would react or think after this but I just want to say FYP is not an easy task and I dont think any group out there would be willing to accept a free rider. I also know that everything has ended now and its a little too late to do anything. But just to say, if you have a little self awareness, reflect on what you have done this semester and do you think there is a need for some change.

***This message here is not meant to hurt anyone in particular but just to be frank in telling the current situation. I'm sorry if you feel offended in any way possible. You may or may not respond, its entirely up to you.


At the end, nothing was done except telling out everything. LOL. I must admit I dun see a reason to kill all the relationships for a small matter. Maybe in fact they don't need to work in the future but I would definitely need to keep these relationships working whether for my own sake or their very sake. Let's just hope I turn out alive after this finals. Peace.....
