OK is fine for 90 minutes, but once you hit 2 hours, your movie needs to be increasingly above-average for every minute that passes.
It's like when an OK movie goes over 2 hours-no. A theme that might be OK over 15x15 just fizzles in a 21x21 format. Sundays are clearly the hardest puzzles to get right. Incidental joy came from a few stray non-theme answers ( SCHOOL TIE was interestingly weird, for instance), but mostly this felt like homework. I was getting through it to get through it.

String art uses coloured string, wool or wire to create geometric patterns. Word of the Day: STRING ART ( 13D: Craft created on a board with nails). RECORD DEAL (67A: Wax paper?) (lol music is mostly streaming now but OK).BUILDING PERMIT (36A: Construction paper?).well, not wacky answers the answers are very normal things they're just wacky in relation to the expectations of the original clue: THEME: "Paper Work" - clues are familiar kinds of paper (all following pattern ), but the answers reimagine the meaning of the first word in the clue, creating.
