Who ever thought that
Norma Bates could be so crazy and creepy... and yet so
downright sexy at the same time? We surely never did, but thanks to the talents of
Vera Farmiga, we have ourselves a little
MILF complex going on now. We're not trying to sell her short here. On the contrary, she's a hell of an Actress that picks great roles to lose herself in, it's just that seeing her "too close" relationship with her on screen son (
Norman Bates), triggers our taboo alarms.
What's disturbing about that is that
Bates Motel is a show that deals with rape, incestuous over/undertones, sex trafficking, sex, murder and violence... all of which should and does disturb us, but it also leaves us saying "Damn
Vera, you look good even when you creepy."
I guess it's fair to say that
Norma Bates wants to snuggle her son
Norman with her mouth. It really is some edgy subject matter, and thank God they at least cast someone as hot as
Vera to tackle it... which kinda sucks at the same time, because we're all like "
Vera, you dirty girl... wait, that's your son! Stop!... or go on... no!"
It messes with our heads, man. Since that's probably the point of the whole thing, all we can say is well done,
Bates Motel creators. Well done.

"Mother is going to hug you with her mouth now, Norman, and this time I want you to cry." |
Sexy, sassy
Ukrainian-American Vera Farmiga seems to play
Mothers a lot. She adopted a creepy midget in
Orphan, and she saw her son go crazy and try to kill/drive his whole family insane in
Joshua... combine those movies with her
Motherly role on
Bates Motel, and it's fair to say that she has issues as a fictional parent. Sometimes, those issues are really creepy.
|
"That's right, baby, rub your snake on Mommy's face..." Oh come on, Vera! |
At least she played a kick-ass
Mom that takes up for a helpless little neighbor kid in the
VERY underrated Running Scared. When she gets a call in the middle of the night from said kid, in which he claims he's being held hostage by a rapey, child-molesting couple,
Vera hightails it over there, forces her way in the house, and blows everyone the fuck away!!! It's a brilliant, creepy scene that you need to see if you haven't already. Just get yourself a copy of
Running Scared, you won't be sorry.

A hot chick showdown for the ages. |
Bates Motel is not the first great
Cable TV show that
Vera has starred in; she first aroused our proverbial loins way back in 2004 on the short-lived
USA Network show,
Touching Evil. We loved the hell out of that show when it first aired, which meant of course that it was destined to be cancelled way too soon (thank you, shitty
American TV audience), but at least it gave us
Vera. In all fairness, she had been in a bunch of stuff before
Touching Evil, but we just never noticed. Shame on us, I suppose.
|
Plenty of FBI agents look like this. Plenty of them. |
Oh yeah, and she also starred in this creepy little movie called
The Conjuring, that has pretty much made the
Box Office its bitch this Summer. So with that, and her
Emmy Nomination for
Bates Motel, it's fair to say that she's having herself a banner year.The
Oscar/
Golden Globe nominations for
Up in the Air were probably nice for her too, but just not as cool.
|
She's so pretty when she screams. |
I guess for fans like us, it just doesn't get better than a hot, talented Actress that isn't afraid to dip her dirty toes into the deep end of the genre pool. It's even better when that same Actress has no issue with getting naked, and is able to tackle some pretty tough subject matter with her roles... I mean, incest and child molestation aside,
Vera Farmiga will kill some people on screen like it ain't no thing.
She's so brave, and we most def love her for that. We also love her for
DAT ASS, but that's neither here nor there.

Someone out there on the internets (4chan to be exact), made this wicked little collage of the many faces of Norma Bates. It's so cool that we just had to share. Click to enlarge this bad boy, and enjoy. |
This
Ukranian Hottie has been nominated for an
Oscar, a
Golden Globe and an
Emmy, and yet she's still right here with us, doing awesome genre work. We love our sexy
Norma Bates, and this
Halloween Season we will be checking out
The Conjuring and
Orphan again, because they both fit the mood of the month perfectly. *
Running Scared is still our favorite
Vera flick, though.It's just seriously awesome.
Oh, and let us not forget that the sexy and talented
Vera has an equally versatile little sister who is destined to become the 2nd
Farmiga Hottie to grace these pages... yes,
Taissa, we're talking about you. You're 18 & fair game now, so look out for us!
