Disney-Pixar has changed the release date of the MU short, Party Central; now it will be shown ahead of The Muppets Most-Wanted, due for release this coming March, just two months away, instead of preceding Pixar's The Good Dinosaur, since that movie's release has been pushed back to some time in 2015. insidemovies.ew.com/2014/01/07/disney-pixar-short-party-central-muppets-most-wanted/I think that Jim Henson would approve of this, don't y'all think? pitbulllady |

I still find it cheap that it wasn't released on the DVD. But then again, I think Disney handles the marketing department, which "is run by irradiated gerbils" (to quote some podcaster).
I slightly forget that Disney has the Muppet franchise now...I usually think Lucas and Marvel first. But if it's coming sooner, at least anticipation will be halted. Guess the encouragement (or outrage) of it being attached to a 2015 film made it be moved up along...
Apparently took eight months to make...and seems the OKs are, obviously, in it...along with Chet and Johnny...no Randall though. Silent cameo maybe...I'd imagine he wouldn't have much to say anyway, to the fraternity or anyone else (given his last party-experience-let-down). Partly thankful, as that makes sense as we've discussed, and not cheapening, that he wouldn't be there.

Partly thankful, as that makes sense as we've discussed, and not cheapening, that he wouldn't be there. I'd be really surprised if Randall is in this short at all, actually, and like you said, IF he is, it will be kinda cheap fan-service, throwing him in there just because Pixar knows that he does have a lot of fans, even though it would kinda fly in the face of what we saw at the Scare Games. The only legitimate reason for including Randall would be to have something ELSE take place, something Sulley does(of which he probably not aware himself, just like the Scare Games and the football game, etc.), that would even further "cement" Randall's reasoning that Sulley is NOT a "nice guy", and give him more reasons to distrust and dislike Sulley. I still think Randall won't be in it, though, that it will focus mostly on the OK's, on Sheri Squibbles, and probably Johnny, though I could be mistaken even about the degree of HIS role. Pixar actually recorded the lines for Party Central WHILE the actors were there to record the lines for MU, so that meant it was written and planned BEFORE MU was released, and before they realized that Johnny was going to be yet-another "antagonist" character that no one was supposed to like, but many liked anyway. I'm still wondering, though, if they aren't going to tie in "PC" with the fact that all of the ROR's except Randall(for obvious reasons) signed Mike's "Fear Book" and apparently were all on pretty friendly terms with him by that time, and vice versa, with Johnny even joking about Mike not falling into the mail shute. pitbulllady |

That's the thing. It wouldn't make sense, as we discussed before. It means that Randall wasn't hit hard by that event at all, that he really doesn't have much more personal reason for disliking Sullivan (at the base, he'd see Sullivan as the cause for Wazowski's removal from the Scare Program...as for expulsion...), and pretty much takes a whack at his background, forcing that he's not really as thought out at all as the other two are.
Like I said, I wouldn't mind seeing Randall party around but...in this? No, that just...wouldn't be right. He was hurt in a way that's deep to him, you do not come back easily from it. Especially with all the compounding things. Johnny can be a jerk...and at times physical...but he's got at least some good sides to him. Randall though, was afraid of him and did what he said...and even when it wasn't his fault, STILL got the boot. Even if Johnny said he could come back...he honestly wouldn't take the offer. As far as he was concerned, Wazowski wasn't there for him, Johnny and the others weren't there for him...he wasn't about to make it a 3 and strike out.
A confrontation like that WOULD certainly warrant words, and I'd think Steve would be able to supply them (no stand in).
At best, maybe a mention of him. By the time, he's either training elsewhere or is already a scarer (depending on the time when this takes place, know it's when the two are at MI...if it's when they ARE scarers themselves, then yeah, Randall's already one and at the Top by then if they're just starting out).
BEFORE MU? Interesting...considering Randall may not have been brought in till later...makes more sense he's not in it.
As said, can't remember if this takes place one the two are Scarers or not...if so, then Johnny's signature is kind of voice since they would be out of the mailroom.
Then again...if this is when they ARE Scarers...then that means...how the heck are the OKs still in college??

Then again...if this is when they ARE Scarers...then that means...how the heck are the OKs still in college?? Mike and Sulley would still be working in the mailroom at MI. Party Central takes place in between the conclusion of the Scare Games, immediately following which Mike and Sulley got expelled from MU, and the end of that final semester that year, right before Johnny and the other seniors(yes, Johnny was a senior during Mike, Randall and Sulley's freshman year-says so in his "interview" with the "school paper" on the official site for MU) graduate. It's very shortly after they leave MU, in other words. Mike would have already gotten his "Fear Book" and brought it back near the end of the school year to have others sign it. Johnny makes a joke about "try not to fall down the mail chute, Killer", so that indicates that Mike and Sulley are already working in the mail room and Johnny is aware of that fact. A lot of the little Tumblr kids have used that statement to prove Johnny is still being "mean" and horrible to poor widdle Mike, but honestly, I don't see any malice in his statement at all. That's just Johnny's sense of humor, and obviously Mike was fine with him signing that or he would not have allowed Johnny to do so in the first place, PLUS if Johnny still harbored bad feelings against Mike, I don't think you could have put a gun to his head and made him sign that Fear Book! That fact that he DID indicates that he and Mike(and the whole thing with inviting Randall into ROR was really all about Mike, after all)had buried the proverbial hatchet. What I hope that "PC" does NOT do, though, is make it seem that Johnny is totally blameless. He's gonna have to be contrite about what he did for any of that to seem real and honest, own up to the fact that he treated a lot of people like dirt simply because he thought he was so much better than they were. Having him just all of a sudden be this nice, sweet guy who acts like he's never done anything wrong would be almost as bad as having Randall show up like nothing traumatic happened to HIM, and just start hating on Sulley and Mike and ruining their fun, or worse, trying to do something bad to them or the OK's. I really hope that they aren't going to have Randall show up and be the "stick in the mud bad guy" who tries to "get even" by spoiling the party for everyone else just because Sulley is there and who has to be shown up and thwarted by the others. I want to have more trust in Dan Scanlon than that. pitbulllady |

Alright, makes more sense that way.
Neither do I actually. I've been viewing Castle a lot, Nathan's probably "iconic role" of his career at the time I think, and have gotten a better understanding to what he put toward Johnny. And...no no malice intended. Joke at best (not like a little joke HASN'T been misinterpreted, and I'm not talking about the prank either).
...Ok...PC, I'm guessing IS standing for Political Correctness.
As I watch Nathan's role as Castle, as a sort of glance into Johnny's head...I get the sense Johnny may not know the effects of some of the harsher things he does. For instance, the prank. Now a LOT of people are taking it negatively, not realizing college has these things...maybe even to the point it's a "rite of passage" or whatever. Personally, not debating the matter. As far as Johnny's concerned, however, that may be his mind frame. It was a joke, nobody got hurt. Sure, a little upset, but they'll get over it. In some ways, yeah, they did, but Johnny may not have noticed it really DID affect things. In terms with Randall, he may not think much on it, considering part of Johnny's pride was at stake at the time or something. It's not that he's heartless or anything, he just doesn't know. He's charismatic, but may be as clueless as Sullivan on some things.
Not much seems to faze him...especially when "proven dead wrong" about Wazowski. He WAS right, like everyone else...but considering he was re-opening a spot to Sullivan for winning, he was UNAWARE of the cheating. As far as HE knew, Wazowski WAS a better scarer than him. Yet, after the initial shock, he practically moves on, offers Sullivan his spot up (probably, again, admitting he was wrong about Sullivan too in some cases), and maybe was intending to give congrats to Wazowski.
As for Randall...he got hurt right dead in the spot he didn't want to. He'd already been forgotten by Wazowski, and even when it wasn't his fault, he was broadsided by his "so-called brothers". He, a freshman, pulled up a fantastic performance to keep up with supposed "greats"...but he makes ONE mistake that wasn't even his fault...and they turn on him. Maybe not in a drastic "your dead Boggs" fashion, but enough to bring things crashing for him.
If Randall wasn't kicked out, he surely left, even if Johnny offered him in again. Someone with that much fear on being humiliated and alone doesn't simply change on a loop. Johnny took him in, and it seems like Randall may have wanted to leave, but stuck it out. If Johnny gave him a good enough reason to leave, he would. And he did. Especially if the rest of the campus was going to laugh at him like they did at the Games.

If Johnny gave him a good enough reason to leave, he would. And he did. Especially if the rest of the campus was going to laugh at him like they did at the Games. Well, no, "PC" stands for Party Central, to keep from typing it all out, lol. BUT at least I know I'm not the only "Castle" fan here, and not the only one who basically sees Johnny Worthington as a big, furry younger version of Rick Castle, either! Personality-wise, they are SO much alike it's not even funny! They have the exact same flaws and strengths, including a propensity for pranks and for giving a rough time to another guy if they feel the least bit threatened by him. I thought that maybe Castle was above pulling the same sort of nasty prank that Johnny pulled on the OKs, but then I saw an older episode where this n00bie fiction writer, who has just gotten his first novel published, shows up at the precinct and starts hanging around Kate Beckett, making Castle feel a bit jealous. So, he invites this young guy to his famous "Poker Friday", held at his place once a month with some of his writer buddies. The young writer thinks that he's really made the "big time" now, getting invited to THIS, but once he shows up, Castle and the others spend the entire night belittling his accomplishments and ridiculing him and really putting the guy down, just like the ROR's do with the OK's. They're really quite nasty to the guy. Of course, he tells Beckett and she is not happy about how Castle treated the guy, since it was completely uncalled for, so he does feel bad about it and admits he did it because he felt "one-upped" by the younger man, and he does apologize, but that was really the defining moment for me to see that Johnny and Richard Castle are basically the same person, just one is younger, furrier, and has a different accent. Johnny actually enunciates more clearly and slowly and has a distinctive "Uptown"/River Road New Orleans accent, one that Fillion actually uses in an episode of "Castle" where he's fantasizing about being a New Orleans detective looking for a woman in 1940s-era New York. I don't think that Johnny does really think about how his actions will affect others until after the fact, though, and Castle is the same way. A lot of Johnny's behavior is due to his father's negative influence, and in college, he has yet to get out from under that influence and really BE himself, instead of just an extension of "John-John"(now if that's not a Southern nickname, I don't know what is). Johnny's father, and the way he's raised his son, honestly reminds me of the father/son relationship in Pat Conroy's book, The Great Santini. I don't have to have seen John-John Worthington to know that he is an Alpha who has raised his son with an iron fist. Even Pixar AND Nathan Fillion have stated as much. He's raised Johnny not to show emotions, especially not to let on if something has hurt him or worries him, because that is seen is a sign of weakness and cowardice. He's put winning above everything else...BUT like you said, after his initial shock at "losing" to Mike and "losing" the Scare Games altogether, Johnny is willing to make amends. He does not seem to be carrying a grudge and openly admits that he'd misjudged Sulley. Maybe that was the first sign of him trying to be his own monster and throw off some of his father's control, because I really get the impression that his father would have really raised hell about what happened and really been nasty to his former opponents after that. Johnny is man enough to admit that he was wrong for real, and put the loss behind him, even though he KNOWS he has to face his dad and tell him that he lost to the OK's, of all fraternities, and THAT cannot be pleasant! pitbulllady |

Ah alright.
Actually that's thanks to a very good friend of mine for turning me on to another good series heheh. And luck...that TNT keeps showing the show. As an aimed-to-be-writer myself and some fair enough humor work, I connect a little to Castle myself. Hopefully similar future...albiet less cop encounters heheh.
Ehh I have to admit that was kind of harsh...but yeah, joke heh heh.
You want to talk pranks? How about Alexis' boyfriend hm hm? Recall a severed head and doctor's garb with blood...and you get an idea of Castle's attempt to "follow the rule of father and boyfriend relations" heh heh. Then again...there was ALSO that moment with the ancient pistol as well heh heh. "See the gun?" hm hm.
Oh yes...the Blue Butterfly...that was an interesting episode. Some nice new bits for the actors as well as...Noir...gotta love it.
Perhaps Wazowski "beating him" was the wake-up he needed...then again wonder how he takes it when he...oooh actually I thought of an interesting occurrence involving John-John...

Tell me you can't see Johnny in each of those scenarios, lol! I don't think he'd be anywhere NEAR as tolerant of Alexis' current boyfriend, though, the "fruitarian" Pi, as Castle is, but then, Castle's all the more older and wiser now. I can remember watching the "Blue Butterfly" episode, hearing Castle do that N'Awlins accent, and immediately going, "Ah-HAH! So THAT'S where he got Johnny's accent!" And I'd love to hear of the "interesting occurrence involving John-John", the "warrior without a war". Heck, I'm just interested in knowing why he moved up north with his family to wind up in what is probably analogous to Michigan or the Chicago area(Monstropolis), working for MI, while Johnny winds up working for Fear Co. Maybe Johnny finally decided to shake free of his father's control, or he realized that old man Waternoose wasn't the sweet, kind old grandfather type he pretended to be. People might accuse Johnny Worthington of a lot of things, but I don't think that being stupid is one of them, nor lacking the ability to really "see" people. pitbulllady [/quote] |

Given the choppers, Johnny may be a meat-eater....which...unfortunately for boyfriends...means he has a whole nice set of sharpened knives in HIS kitchen heh heh.
Well smooth jazz time I suppose.
Kind of "happened" in an MU bit I did way back...when Randall was leaving the house...the others came looking for him, Johnny was in a rage of sorts....but he went invisible...Johnny nearly found him if it weren't for his dad calling.
Now, while "John-John" may want to see his son's "achievements", I figure he's also busy...and well...he's "already seen that" since Johnny's a senior and all. But anyway, the call, not in the MU bit, makes me think....
Maybe since Johnny saw he was WRONG about Wazowski...he finds that his FATHER is wrong as well. So while John John may have the upper hand berating Johnny...the boy snaps and, for once, FINALLY talks back to big-bad-dad. He tells him HE'S WRONG and that his version of the world and how things should work is WRONG. And it's basically Johnny giving his dad a good talking to. And in the end, maybe he just hangs up before his dad does and.....he feels....GOOD. He feels GOOD. He stood up to the person feeding him bull most of his life and he just feels better that he did it.
So...by that point Randall's gone, and Johnny's more set on finding Wazowski and Sullivan, make amends as it were to show he's turned a new leave. Maybe even comment that "Hey...yeah you surprised me...but you know what...SOME PEOPLE may keep thinking wrong...but you know what, I had a talk with someone...and you know what...I was wrong...my bad."
BUT....then he learns...Sullivan cheated. Imagine Johnny's face at that point. He TOLD OFF HIS FATHER...and yet, it seemed...he was right after all. Sure..."OH CRAP" face...but after a bit...he'd realize...it STILL felt good standing up to him. Even though this time wasn't right...what Johnny felt standing up to his old man was.

THAT ought to be an animated short in and of itself right there! It's a pretty safe bet that Johnny does indeed make amends with Mike and possibly Sulley, although Sulley seemed more distrustful of him(AND Randall in MI) than Mike did. Mike had no problem confronting Johnny in MU; indeed, he seemed to relish each opportunity to do so, but then, Mike is very much an extrovert and very much an Alpha himself, size notwithstanding. I can see perhaps Johnny wanting to find Randall, to make peace with him as well, to apologize for treating him like **** and using him, and let him know that he's still a member in good standing of ROR, but Life getting in the way and him putting that thought further and further from his mind until somewhere down the line he has to deal with that as well, only to find that Randall has apparently "disappeared" following some hush-hush mess involving the CEO of Monsters, Inc. It would be ironic if Johnny winds up being the catalyst to find out what really happened, and he's nosy enough to start digging, too. As I have stated before, Johnny has a knack(again, not unlike his Human World mystery-writer counterpart)to read people and pick up on minute little clues and string together the final details of a "crime scene" from what appears to be insignificant data. I do actually believe, in spite of what Johnny said to Mike during the course of MU, that he actually respected the green eyeball. He KNEW-as did pretty much everyone else other than Randall-that Mike was no Scarer, not even close, but he also knew that Mike was determined to a fault and incredibly courageous for standing up to him, and that's why he also found Mike to be a threat, as silly as that seems on the surface. People sneer and hate on Johnny for bestowing that nickname-"Killer"-on Mike, but one thing they fail to grasp is that Johnny only gives nicknames to people he deep-down LIKES and admires. People he has slightly less respect for, like Chet, he calls by their first names, and people he really takes little notice of, he only refers to by their LAST names, like "Boggs". pitbulllady |

Sooo, word has it on Tumblr that Steve Buscemi's name does NOT appear on the list of actors for Party Central. If that's true, that he's not in it, then it confirms what you and I have said all along, RB, although some folks aren't too happy about that because they WANT to see "Evil Randall" show up and try to ruin the fun now that he has cast off his "good guy" disguise and revealed his true evil nature and hates everyone and will be defeated by the Mighty Sullivan and the Perfect Capt. Mike for a second time. I HOPE Dan Scanlon won't play Saturday morning cartoon with this, that he'll make it fun, but have a deeper message, a positive one, like he did in MU, so I will not lose the respect I've gained for him as a director.

Yes, but we still have the possibility of another actor voicing Randall.
Probably won't happen given the circumstances, but there is a chance.

Yes, but we still have the possibility of another actor voicing Randall. Probably won't happen given the circumstances, but there is a chance. I doubt that VERY seriously! Pixar KNOWS that people connect their characters with specific actors, and I really don't think that Pixar would pull a switcharoo like that. That is one of the reasons why Dan Scanlon decided against using Kelsey Grammar to voice Henry J. Waternoose even in a small cameo, and opted out instead for just having Waternoose's cameo limited to a still photo. This is why John Lasseter decided to have his fire truck character in Cars be a silent character, because the actor who would had started recording his voice, Pixar artist Joe Ranft, was tragically killed in a auto accident himself during filming. Rather than replace him, Lasseter simply had the character be mute, as he'd lost his voice. I would be very shocked and disappointed if Pixar did something like replacing the voice of a familiar and popular character with some unknown, especially since Scanlon said that he recorded the lines for Party Central WHILE he was still recording for MU, so he would not have to call the actors back in later. That meant that Steve Buscemi would have already been on hand, should he be needed to record for PC as well. pitbulllady |
