Quintus 5,399 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm guessing he's a typical antihero character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Mother is the killer. 5 hours ago, Alexcremers said: Bates Motel S5: Best season so far. It actually feels like a sequel to the first movie. The part of the actor who plays young Bates has become way more difficult but he's acquitting himself quite well. Has anybody noticed that sheriff Alex Romero looks like the real Norman Bates? Nobody? Really?! Alex Yes. I noticed that from the first episode. He looks like Psycho III Anthony Perkins. He talks like him too. It makes the romance with Mother all the weirder. Also, why are you watching a Justin And Drax Show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Like how Baby Jane is written as this repellantly grotesque creature of addiction, depression and insanity -- the sort you don't even need your mother to warn you about. And yet Davis took this horrifying character and did the unthinkable, she made her likeable and sympathetic. She seemed to understand that this miserable soul was victimised by her demanding stage dad and her insidiously deceitful sister over many decades, which provoked her to commit outrageous acts to terrorise Blanche into a state of perpetual fear. But her characterisation and delivery made you side with her all the way. She's not really the antagonist as her Wiki entry states, but more of an anti-heroine. Rather like how Perkins made this pitiful and emasculated character Norman Bates so interestingly nuanced through his quirkiness, his cloak of innocence and his mild mannered demeanour. Something Gus Van Sant and Vince Vaughn missed completely in their bizarre wank of a remake. Vaughn's Norman was a creep from the moment you meet him. That said, I retract my statement calling for a Baby Jane TV series. They'd just fuck it up as badly as that shitty Lynn Redgrave tele flick.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The 2010s was the perfect time to make a show about young Norman Bates and his Mother.

Norma and her son are just trying to live a peaceful life while dealing with mental illness and a town full of weirdos who all gravitate to the motel. The murders are initially committed during extreme circumstances involving spousal abuse and rape. But everything just keeps getting worse and worse...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Finished Stranger Things last night. Good season! Why was the film score “community” up in arms about the score again? Fit like a glove; an obvious 80s synth throwback. I imagine it’s the crazies that believe everything has to be orchestral and rousing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
