The format is annoying but also sort of fun. An odd amount of mistakes in the clues that could be important later.

I think I have all of the circled letters. I'm not seeing that they are in any kind of order. Is it another "Randomly arrange and rearrange the 23 letters til you get an anagram that points to the 14 letter answer we want" sort of thing? So let's start with the circled letters, in order ENOFRDTYOFTTWONHEOWLINE Please let me know if I'm up the wrong tree here.

For those of you who have already finished this one, I was hoping for clarification on a couple of things:
1) I see that there is a 19-Across clue (which doesn't exist) but there no 20-Across. Was that a typo? 2) Some of the reference clues don't seem to exist (7-Down, for instance, references 25-Across. 25-Down references 8-Across, etc etc) Did you have a way of puzzling that out? Did you look at the down when they said across or look at the next number up on the same axis? 3) More advice than clarification: How did you get out of loops (i.e. 19-D -> 55-A -> 23-A -> 19-D)

Did you look at the down when they said across or look at the next number up on the same axis? I can confirm that the 19-Across clue goes to the 20-Across squares. Also 7D is actually referencing 25D and 25D is actually referencing . Also, 9D should be referencing 41A

1 yes. 2 7D might be ref to 25D, 25D should ref . 3 56A also refs 55A Regarding the first half of item 2, I am unfamiliar with the movies referenced, but the wording in 7D regarding 25D seems like it must be misleading. But again, I'm not familiar with them, so possibly not? *shrug emote*

On a different note, I hated every clue in this stupid crossword lol. If you are getting aN odd letter, remember that Ice-T is an OG, and whatever got Jackie Chan started, at least what worked for me, is something I cannot find any information on.

Can someone please explain 24D to me? I have the answer by solving the acrosses, but I don't understand this one. The clue sounds dirty to me, but the answer doesnt. And while were at it, I also dont understand the answer I got for 27A. Maybe I need to watch that movie again.

A quick wikipedia search for your answer with regard to Entertainment may be enlightening.
