Randy Quaid is the huge fail .... He's in exile in Canada and not allowed back in the states, so obviously the guys were not going to include him in the script

If someone wanted to be creative, he could be included - like a single scene where they're talking to Eddie on the telephone(or Facetime, Skype, whatever) or a single inside shot on a remote shoot up there.

It would certainly be better than nothing. Not sure how the legality of it would work, but something could be done if people were properly motivated.

They chose to not force an appearance especially under the circumstances and focus on the cameos by Charlie Day, Freaks and geeks guys, Thor, Tim Heidecker, Nick Kroll, Keegan M Key etc

Now these are spoilers. Geez

I understand the business decision, but this is one that I can't accept the convenient excuse, "It can't be done."

There are things that "can't be done" - this ISN'T one of them.

But i will ask the directors if they thought about including him because I am curious myself.

Tell Daley that Ace Midnight was, more or less, Sam Weir in high school, about 1 year younger than Sam Weir and that as an actor, he nailed that situation and time, perfectly.

I'm sure that's not the first time he's heard that. That show (along with Firefly) was a classic example of being "too good" for television.

John is great guy and has had a ton of success before 30. He and his writing partner did a great job on the directorial debut (from a production standpoint)

---

And not to focus on Freaks and Geeks to the exclusion of everything else, but that cast was stupid talented - everyone was good - Daley was impressive then and he was barely a teenager.

it's weird when i first met him i didn't realize he was on Bones and had knowledge of his Freaks involvement. I really need to watch the series and am a bit embarrassed I haven't. He reunites half of the Freaks gang for the film and it's pretty good.

Not his fault. They did a horrible job with his character.

Some of it may have been his fault, there were times where he just refused to do what was in the script.

I think it would have been awesome to get Johnny Galecki or AMH as Rusty

Rusty was more sarcastic than funny though.
