Just a little lazy sorta drawing I did while watching a NASCAR race on tv, inspired by what could now be the most-famous cupcakes in the history of confectionaries, lol. I came up with the idea that maybe Randall did NOT make those for Mike and himself, but was trying to impress a girl, and Mike suggested that he bake some cupcakes and offer them to her as a way to "break the ice". Great idea, right? Well, not if you have "an embarrassing disappearing habit" that you cannot always control, combined with a personality that Eduardo from "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends" would describe as, "tightly-wound, emotionally". Suffice it to say that things probably won't go as planned. Hopefully Ms. Carrie will figure out what's going on though, and not be TOO freaked out!  pitbulllady |

Awww I think it's a really cute idea, PBL....and even if this wasn't why he made them, this wouldn't be out of character for him since he does seem like he'd be really shy approaching anyone he might want to date.

Daaw! Poor Randy! I can't wait to see how the whole "invisible" thing plays out in the movie.

Why are people tuning into my thoughts more often...
THIS is what I was thinking back when I thought I had a good theory on the whole cupcake thing.
That theory? He made them for a girl hehehe. I mean it's got credibility, the little hearts for instance. And Randall's "hands to hips" (or...hands to side rather since it's his upper hands) in the scene shows he's a little defensive. Maybe Wazowski is giving him advice on how girls and thinks cupcakes are too stupid, and Randall's like "well what's wrong with'em??"
Anyway, great piece. Hehhe, Randy's little rant was just so hilarious, it fit. You think a shy little guy like that, put into a world at that time, would be thinking things would just go from bad-to-worse in such a short time....no wonder the little guy fades away!
I'm a bit curious. Is the bolder text there telling him to just do it...his more confident side? (as in the more direct one we all know ^0^)
--
And actually I think Randall's invisibility comes in to be pretty important. I mean in the commentary (and as I exploited in an MU bit) it was said "you don't want to say anything bad about Randall, he could be anywhere". So who knows, maybe it comes in handy (for better or, later, worse.

I do like the idea of Randall having those cupcakes to try and woo a young lady, though I got the idea from Brian on DA, who commented that the promotional pics we've see of Randy, with the glasses, look like a shy, uncertain kid trying to ask his "crush" to go on a date, and I gotta admit, they do. Also, pay attention to Mike's expression in that pic from the trailer-he's got that smarmy,patronizing, know-it-all-Wazowski look, like he's giving some really profound advice to some loser. His expression really doesn't suggest a great deal of respect for Randall, and as you said, RB, Randall's posture is a bit defensive, as well.
Speaking of Mike and Randall and the whole crew, I have got some really amazing information that I want to share, but I'm waiting for permission from the source to do so first. Suffice it to say that it comes from a highly qualified professional, and supports pretty much everything we've said here on Randall's real personality, Sulley and Mike's relationship, why Randall was fixated on Waternoose, Sulley's impending emotional guilt-trip breakdown due to what they did to Randall...and who REALLY is the most dangerous of the characters(hint: it is NOT Randall)...absolutely amazing stuff.

*nods* And if I recall he's pointing at Randall as he finishes the turn...literally "to make a point" whether it's against Randall or the cupcakes, who knows. But as soon as the talks about Carrie and a relationship came about, I knew it was an option.
Amazing information...permission huh?
Anything to do with those test screenings...?

A test screening is when part of a movie is played for a selected audience (or something like that) to gauge their reaction, and to provide feedback and what not. Guess it's decided such things as further merchandise and promotions and stuff, dunno.
From what I glanced, 40-minutes. That's right...probably half the movie in a test screening, and there's no doubt Randall wouldn't be in it somewhere.
Bits and pieces are fine and all that...but this is...boarding on the pier of just plain spoiler elite...

Nope, it's nothing to do with test screenings. Most of what I'm still waiting for permission to post was actually written in 2007, by a professional Psychologist who does "analyses" on movie characters to, as her friend puts it, "keep herself sane after spending most of her time interviewing murderers and rapists". She did have some comments on MU based on the trailers, though, but suffice it say that everything we've concluded about Randall and his relationship with the other characters is supported by a respected professional in that field. pitbulllady |
