He looks like he's the only one who knows what kind of movie they're making.

Did he tell you this or did you witness this first hand?



Her forehead takes up like 2/3rds of her face.

I was with him. He was my old wingman from the PUA days. It helped that he was from New Zealand, so he had the accent going. Man, those were some great fucking times.

I hate you guys so much. :(

If you didn't want that pic appearing on the Internet, you shouldn't have posed for it.

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

What made me start the thread was seeing her getting interviewed the other day and then when I realized that American Pie/American Beauty were 17 years ago! It made me think what the hell has she been doing, and what happened to her career?

I felt the same way when I saw Neve Campbell on House of Cards, and realized that she also had done anything relevant in 15+ years. Scream, Party Five, WildThings was all late 90's.

It really shows that most of the actors are just flavor of the month, and Hollywood moves on to the next good looking actor in their 20's, with the exception of people like Jennifer Lawrence & Bradley Cooper who still get quality roles.

Looks like a dude, but would still bang

When I posted my "tiny dick" joke, I was channeling my inner Eddie Money, then I realized I hadn't seen you post in like two weeks. Glad you're back.

Thanks! Was gone all last week on vacation and have been catching up at work since.

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

Whenever we talk about an actor or actress that flamed out quickly I always wonder just how much they wanted to be a 'star'. It's not for everyone. For all we know, Suvari wanted to do some roles that made her good money on projects that were more fun than challenging. That's not a recipe to being a star but who knows if she even wanted that.

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

She was not that talented so that is why she did not become a huge star.

Case closed?

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

Literally!

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

Not a big star? She had top-billing (along Ving Rhames) in the "Day of the Dead" remake.

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

I always thought she was a little weird looking. Hot in some instances, not so hot in others. Like Sarah Jessica Parker. But, mentioning American Beauty brought up Thora Birch. Wasn't she also supposed to be the next big thing? I remember she did American Beauty, and Ghost World, then I cant remember her doing anything else.

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

I like that. Same with Christina Ricci.

Her dad was a little nuts apparently. Here's a more detailed account:

Neve Campbell moved back to Canada and intentionally lowered her profile to pursue a more normal life after having a bad marriage

Her mom was a hot pornstar of the 70's.

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

I get what you're saying, but I think alot of untalented actors are big stars these days. I look at guy like Ben Affleck and he is stealing money cause he can't act for shit. Or you just have the overrated actors/actresses like Julia Roberts who get way too much acclaim compared to their acting talent. Then you have great actors like Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney who always fall under the radar when it comes to stardom for one reason or another.

I do wonder if they lower their profile because they are not getting the roles, or is it intentional? After Party of Five, Scream, The Craft and Wild Things, she did some real bombs in late 90's/early 00's and you wonder if that kills their career? Three To Tango, Drowning Mona and other forgettable movies. She probably made a boatload of money from Party of Five and Scream, and once the good roles dry up, they walk away from the business.

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

I think she was regarded well enough as an talented actress that she could have maintained good steady movie work even if she was not "the star" and somebody definitely would have cast her in another TV series.

Look at all the people cling to whatever celebrity they can.

Going to Canada, picking projects for personal reasons, acting on the stage. That's a conscious uncoupling from the business, not being run out of town.

No rhyme or reason to why one guy is a Movie Star and the other guy isn't.

Hollywood loves its flavor of the month and if it doesn't stick, they move on to the next one. Let's see what happens with Margot Robbie.

Re: How did Mena Suvari not become a bigger star?
 

Interesting read. Thanks for that.

That I was not aware of. Checking google shows that both her parents had small roles in Deep Throat. I wonder if this contributed to them not having a problem with her showing her tits when she was underage in American Beauty.
