Hmm, that's an idea- Celia with petrifying powers...Then again, I think she would've used them when Wazowski abandoned her at Harryhausen's, and might also have used them on Randall to stop him chasing Sullivan and Wazowski, so I guess she doesn't have them.
Unless the vampires in the monster world are like cute fluffy little bunnies that may appear cute, but at night, they turn into juice-sucking vampires, ready to suck the juice out of innocent carrots! ;D Just a thought.

I am gona puke
Of course, that does explain Bunnicula XD Oh gods, imagine if they had the Vopal Rabbit of Caerbannog!!

ROTFLMAO! I'd love to see Wazowski try to pet THAT bunny! I bet he doesn't have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, either.

Man, and he thought RANDALL was bad news?
It would make for a great spoof if Pixar would have one of the monsters, like Sulley, for example, telling a bunch of wide-eyed kids "an old tale from the Old Country" about The "Black Beast of AAAaarrrrggghhh" and have Randall just sorta "materialize" right in their midst. I wonder how many movie goers would get it, though.

That would be great, Randall would be fun at surprise parties Ceilia a vampire? And she can make Mike her undead slave, nah, she's no vampire, looks more like Medusa to me, though if she was, Mike would be stone right now.
I don't know about that. Yes, she was angry at Mike, but would she actually kill him if she could? Plenty of arguments do not include murder (if they did Homo sapiens would be extinct). She did not try to strangle him, for example. I came up once with a scientific rational for how an exiled Medusa could give rise to the petrifying legend. The big eye emits an electrolaser beam that paralyzes the target for a few seconds. However, it causes a burning redeye and a splitting headache for the Medusa, so they use it only in emergency situations. They prefer to immobilize by stealth (like when Celia announced Randall had made the all-time scare record, causing him to be mobbed).

What Celia Mae did there was to use her BRAIN, something that all females can call upon to throw ANY male completely off-guard. She was smart and a quick-thinker(guess you'd have to be, fielding all those calls and memorizing all those extension numbers), but hardly possessing of any supernatural powers, none that any other woman lacks, anyway.

Brainy chicks will throw guys anytime. ((nod)) I don't think Celia has any powers like that... But I do like the selective-petrification idea. It could come in handy, for example, a lone gorgon walking home at night.
What I wonder most about Celia is how she cuts her snake-hair. The heads obviously have have to be cut off when it's trimmed, but do they regenerate after a week or so? Does it hurt? Are the snakes aware? Does it feel like a giant out of body experience to them? So many questions...
Heh.
I just realized something. Total Fridge Brilliance. In most of the early pitches, Randall Boggs was going to be very Irish. A very Irish reptilian monster. What makes this so genius is that St. Patrick banished all the 'snakes' from Ireland in the 5th century. Given that snakes=serpents=reptiles=reptilian and Ireland's longheld magical repuation... St. Patrick didn't banish snakes, he banished monsters! We know that the Human World and the Monster World are closely linked. The Irish monsters must have fled to the other world, somewhat later than all the other mons. They probably even found a second Ireland to settle down in.

We actually had a discussion of THIS, too...interesting how sharp minds think alike, isn't it? I had posed the hypothesis a long time back-I am not even sure if it was on this incarnation of the Bogg's Board or not-that the "serpents" banished from Ireland were in fact monsters, Randall's ancestors to be exact. The animated short, "History of the Monster World", specifially states that the Mons were banished by boat over the ocean from the Human World, whereupon they arrived at that island, and the legend of St. Patrick says that he banished the "serpents" into the sea. The really interesting thing about this hypothesis is that this would have taken place hundreds, if not thousands, of years AFTER the "main guard" of Mons arrived in the Monster World, which means two things. One, there was not a single banishment, but many, over a period of thousands of years, from many different parts of the Human World. Two, the reptilian-like Mons, those which were Randall's ancestors, were apparently the last to leave the Human World, having hung on in parts of the British Isle long after most Mons from other parts of our world had departed. This would mean that they were in contact with humans, with the probability of intermarriage(especially with the most-human-like among them)with "normal" Mans, for much longer than other races of Mons were, and it's possible that THIS, rather than just their scaly appearance, is what resulted in the stigma that other types of monsters apparently placed on those like Randall. To the furry and other types, monsters like Randall are inferior because they are "tainted" with more-recent human blood.

I haven't come across the theory here- but it is a great idea, ah? The idea that monsters didn't come all at once makes far more sense than one great migration... all those myths and legends of frightening beasts had to come from somewhere. And they date from all over. I'm not surprised if Irish held onto their monsters a bit longer. Ireland is noted for a long history of fairy tales and druids, and of course, for the Fae. They're also quite good for boats taking away said mystical beings.
Interracial takes on a whole new meaning, doesn't it? The idea is quite intriguing. And it gives a two-fold pariah status for the scalies. One, they're poor Irish immigrants. Two, they've got all the society grace of newly freed Blacks. (or possibly Three, they're Mud-Blood- in more ways than one)
And what about brainy guys? 0_-
I don't know- when I meet one, I'll tell you ((wink))
Theophilus Hatta: The snakes obviously fear being cut...we saw this in the movie when they started when Celia said she was thinking of cutting them, then relaxed when Mike said he liked them just the way they were.
