One thing we have to remember is that a lot of people, including Randall's co-workers, just assumed that expression WAS his normal expression, so no one would have questioned it upon seeing the commercial. We learned in MU that Randall has that scowl-squint because he can't see very well! pitbulllady He can still smile and have positive body language. A fake smile, one not really "heart-felt", would be worse than a scowl. You can't make someone show "positive body language" when they aren't FEELING positive. Randall nearly always shows that insecure posture, with his arms folded in front of him, whenever he's around a large crowd. This is called a "guarded" posture, and it is an indication of apprehension. We see him do this in both movies. Randall is not really comfortable in social situations, as much as he wants to be liked and accepted. That fear is always there, and he can't help displaying that guarded posture, especially when he has every reason to feel left out and excluded. pitbulllady |

Well, well.....
I think... that Mr. Boggs could greatly.... identify.... with the FEELINGS...... and subtle... body languages
of one... particular... POTIONS MASTER.
To MIKE: Then again.... maybe some of you have come to Monsters University in possession of abilities so formidable, that you feel confident enough... to NOT... PAY... ATTENTION.
To SULLEY: Pity.... clearly... FAME... ISN'T... EVERYTHING. Is it, Mr. Sullivan?

Okay ... I just don't get why turning invisible to scare never really occured to him. But then again, I always think of him being invisible, esp. in MI.

Randall's "turning invisible" was a habit that HE developed out of fear, fear for his own safety, and no doubt had been a major source of ridicule throughout his life. Why would he have thought that a nervous habit that had been a source of ridicule and embarrassment for him would ever be an asset? pitbulllady |
