So Mena Suvari is in a movie called Stuck, based on the true story of a woman who hit a homeless man with her car, then left the man, still wedged in her windshield to die and later disposed of the body. Naturally it’s a comedy. (red-band trailer after the jump)
Mena Suvari stars as Brandi, a cornrowed retirement-home caregiver who washes asses for a living and has a cheating boyfriend to contend with at home. She suddenly finds herself on top of the world when she is offered a promotion at work, which means she will no longer have to clean up feces for rent and food money. After a hard night of celebrating this new turn in her life, Brandi hits a homeless man and he becomes wedged in the windshield of her car. Afraid to go to the authorities, the girl’s life comes crashing down around her.
Wait, did you say cornrows?
Mena Suvari: The cornrows? That was about establishing Brandi as this girl from a particular society and neighborhood. The real story took place in Fort Worth, Texas. We felt that maybe our story was taking place in Rhode Island. Maybe Providence. So the hair was about establishing her in this particular world.
Seems like the setting would be something you’d know for sure, but… I totally get Rhode Island – after all, that’s the White-people-in-cornrows State.
Suvari: My intent was to make Brandi look realistic [... -Ed.]. She needed to be involved in this particular world. She’s not a model. She’s not an actress or a beauty queen. That was her life. So if she is living in this particular world, and she has this particular boyfriend, and these are her surroundings, then yeah, she would absolutely incorporate a hairstyle like this. Despite the fact that certain people in society wouldn’t find it that attractive. [Source]
Waaait, a second, the story this is based on, it didn’t happen to be a black girl, did it? I think I understand now. Casting the whitest girl on the planet aside from those guys from Nelson and giving her cornrows makes much more sense than casting a black girl. I mean, that would just be retarded. In other news, I hear Tyler Perry’s next movie is about a white chick, played by Angela Bassett in a Blink 182 hoodie.

Did Mena Suvari just say that she basically had to "ugly herself up" to make this role believable?
Liars go to hell Ms. Suvari; liars go to hell…
Tyler Perry’s next movie is about a white chick, played by Angela Bassett in a Blink 182 hoodie.
Madeath Cab for Cutie.
Tyler Perry presents "Madea Goes Muttonchops."
The cornrows? That was about establishing Brandi as this girl from a particular society
The "I’m dating a black guy just to piss off my father" society or the "I’ve got a fat ass, I may as well run with it" society?
i for one would not like to have sexual intercourse with mina suvari
If they had cast Whitney Houston, this could’ve been believable.
KISS MAH ASS!!!
The corn rows gave her character more street cred, but what gave her depth was growing a bulbous click.
…and Jackson’s cousin Herbert Tyrone Cleveland… could these people be any more black?
They should have put her in blackface too and invited Spike Lee to the premiere.
I for two wouldn’t either Mexi-bex.
Alternate Title: "I Know You Di’in’t Do What I Thought You Done Did Last Summer"
"she has this particular boyfriend"
I have lots of particular friends.
I only like Mena Suvari in movies where her character description includes, “blonde hair” and “tries to fuck friend’s dad”.
I take it she gets the promotion after killing the homeless guy. That’s how things work over here.
Damn, one less dude to creepishly ask me fore change.
Brandi: +1 point
Homeless People: still zero points, cocksuckers.
I think its funny how she tried to dance around the race thing. I just find the whole thing not even remotely funny. They took a horrible thing and made it into a comedy, and a racist statement at that.
And that concludes our seriousness for the day.
if i were elija woods brother id peel homeless men off of my windshiled then shoot them then blame my Aw fuck it i dont know where im going with this STOP OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT!!!
FORE !!!!!!!!!!
*golf ball strikes and kills a homless man somewhere in the city*
See, when I hit that hobo with my car, I just bumped him in his big ass duffle bag he was wearing and he tipped over. Brandi gots it all wrong.
Why do I have a feeling that when this film wrapped Mena stayed in character just like Brittany Murphy after 8 Mile?
i realize that made no sense, and I should have seperated the 2. Menas situation is funny, the movie I find icky
Are you saying she had sex with Emimem after filming, Burnsy?
” homless ” man collapses, ” homeless ” people don’t care.
This is why I use Bum-X on my car’s windshield.
I asked a homeless guy fro some change the other day. When he gave me this confused look I said "Pretty fuckin’ annoying aint it?" Then I hot the brakes and he flew out of my windshield.
That’s exactly what I’m saying, Eibz. I seen it with my own eyes.
Fact: More black dudes will beat off to Mena Suvari due to her hair, than ALL guys combined did before this film.
Ew thats icky, too, Burnsy. How long before you regained your sight after that?
True story: My family in Seattle are always trying to get me to move out there and about 8 years ago I decided there was no way in hell I would because I was riding into downtown on a bus and we stopped at a light. I looked out my window and there was a bus stop full of bums. One guy was sitting down on the bench and another male bum stood over him and whipped it out. Then all felately goodness broke out! Needless to say, I gave up bum-fucking from that day on.
(Seriously, true story.)
Fact: I used to beat off more to Erswi’s old avatar and Jack’s Robbie Rotten than I do now.
Wait, what?
To further get into this role, Mena Suvari spent three months cleaning up feces for rent and food money.
TRUE STORY:
As you guys may or may not know, I work at a auto collision shop. This guy came in one time after he hit a bum on the road. He fucking killed the bum of coarse, but on the hood, you could totally see wear the bum hit his face at. There was the oil from his face on the hood, and you can make out where his ear, hair, eye socket, and nose were. There was a dent with a chip where his tooth hit. It was fucking cool.
I’d seriously have to think about it if I were told I had to fuck either Mena or the cock-eyed muhfuckah in my avatar.
The Mighty Fek’lhr has a dent in Grethor where He hit Condaleeza Rice and Gene Simmons…huh?
This is a comedy?
What the hell is so funny about killing homeless people?
*Re-watches American Psycho*
Touche’
whoa. that is creepy Pauly. Strange, my uncle Paul owns a auto shop
You totally bought the car, right Pauly?
He sold the hood on Ebay
He sold the hood on Ebay
Tell ‘em that it’s the hood from the car used to run down Jesus. That should at least double the price.
Oh, I made a blog entry about Blood Books, too. I promise to get on topic later…*snicker*…
[dirtyhairy.blogspot.com]
Don’t even stress you guys, I just read the actual article this is based on and “Damanda” was playing GTA on her X-box when she hit the homeless dude. Totally cool.
I have the picture that I took from the my cell phone still. PM me and I would be happy to e-mail it to you.
People who run into bums should mark the side of their rides in the same way WW2 fighter pilots did after a successful dogfight. I do, although i travel everywhere by donkey and i don’t think he appreciates it too much.
BTK, I plan on getting wasted tonight, should I come on here and spaz out about something?
Find something that will piss me off and hold on to it for about another four hours.
No, Charlie, I don’t. That fucking tattoo gun hurts.
Wait, Mena got cornrows to look more "black"? How does she figure?
It would have been awesome Pauly if you could have filled the dent with plaster and made a mould. Awesome dead bum art piece.
hehe Ok, no more tattoos. I’ll break out the branding irons, i’ve been dying to use them.
In British-speak, "bum" means "fanny"!
…
Dor sho gha!
Mena said she also corn rowed her pubes because it wrangles all the crabs.
I think we might still have that hood……….
Hells yeah, Eib. Like Han stuck in carbonite.
Well, if the shop smells strangely like piss and you hear odd moaning sounds, there’s a chance the bum is haunting it.
There’s also a chance that your auto shop kicks ass.
Robo, you are my density
Well, if the shop smells strangely like piss and you hear odd moaning sounds, there’s a chance the bum is haunting it.
or Busey
Donk, the piss smell and maoning is all me, DONK!
One two punch of Empire and Back to the Future…nice.
I was worried that my Pauly-oop wasn’t going to materialize there.
IT’S HEDLEY!!!
Pauly-oops never durst. NEVER!
Mena Suvari always looks like she’s spent the entire day at an indoor swimming pool.
Cornrows say one thing: "I’m all for domestic violence"
Wow, you guys must all be busy laughing at
what I write inmy blog!From Wki; Instead of casting an African American for the part in Stuck, the producer decided to cast a white girl with corn rowed hair. I love how snarky Wiki can be sometimes instead of that regular ol’ encyclopedia bullshit.
Cornrows say one thing: "I’ll totally let you pee in my face"
Mena Suvari looks like she hangs out in a group of all hot chicks.
new post
Cornrows say one thing: "I didn’t think the lower back tattoo screamed classless whore enough."
When asked about the casting of Stuck, the girl it’s based on said, "AWWWWWWW HELL NAW!!!"
Spike Lee was quoted as saying, "When one of our fine Nubian princesses kills a white man by running him over and then lettting him die I her garage while she lets her African adonis boyfriend cornhole her, a white woman had better play her in the film version because a black actress in that role would negatively protray negro ethics. But that bum better be black!"
Robert Downey Jr. was quoted as saying, "Pussy ass bitch."
I guess I’ll go back and read the comments and see who thinks like me…
Oh, it was a new post Durst.
CB and I are genious level think alikers.
I knew it! Ha!
In real life, the chick who hit the guy was pretty fucked up (hammered, stoned and what the kids call "rolling on ‘E’"), which is why she didn’t call the police.
