Shopa , very true, and succinctly put !
From experience, it is always nigh impossible to transpose a written text into theatrical version (film or stage) without having to leave something out - the written word can be so much more "leisurely " in it's treatment.
As you rightly say, if everything had been left in, very comfy chairs, with sleep breaks, would have been needed.
And so many things need to be established "in the flesh" rather than leaving it to the imagination to soar off on it's own.
And with reference to those cookies - everyone surely knows they should be the ....... interesting ..... "Dr. Bogies Snotdoodles".
An acquired taste, admittedly...............
