Hey, if they didn't move you, they didn't move you. I do think that's your loss, but you're entitled to your opinion.

I remember in Leonard Nimoy's book he talked about a kid who wasn't able to see him as Spock. That's normal for a kid. But adults understand that cameos are surreal meta references, in jokes. By their very nature, they are a connection to the source material. They're just not a hyper literal one. They don't have to be.

....The only reason we have those characters are the actors. My audience didn't need them to literally spoon feed "Hi, I'm Dr. Venkman" for it to be a meaningful reference. That's extremely nitpicky and you're only depriving yourself of enjoyment.
