If you cosplayed in kansas between 2012 and 2015 please read

To the person who cosplayed as Male terezi at overland park convention center, renaissance festival, and maybe anime fest Wichita, and usually had black lipstick on your teeth but was super chill. If you go to the overland park official website and look at the naka kon event, you are on the front page!!!! I know we exchanged tumblr info at some point.

DESTRUCTION IN HUMAN FORM

[dweemeister]

2020 Movie Odyssey

For those who are not aware, my “Movie Odyssey” consists of all films that I have seen for the first time in their entirety. Rewatches do not count. What follows is a list of every film - feature- and short-length - that were a part of the 2020 edition of My Movie Odyssey.

A good many of these are MGM/Popeye short films that are shown on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) on Saturday. Other short films - including the Oscar-nominated short film packages shown in theaters every year before the Academy Awards - also appear. But I saw more features (124; defined as a film over forty minutes in length) than I did short films (97). With no Viet Film Fest this year and fewer obligations to watch recent releases, this year’s Movie Odyssey skewed harder towards older movies than in a long time.

I’m no longer as prolific as I may have been back in my undergrad days in watching movies, but I definitely saw my share of great, good, mediocre, and bad movies in 2020. You’ll notice that most of the 10/10 ratings are clumped near the beginning of the year - there’s not a particular reason for that.

Thanks for being a part of the Movie Odyssey, everyone. Whether we saw a movie together in a theater (before they closed), you read a review of mine, or if we discussed a movie in some conversation anywhere, you have been part of this journey. I look forward to the 2021 iteration, and I hope it’s just as exciting - if not more - as this year was!

Without further ado, the films of the 2020 Movie Odyssey, in the order that they were completed:

JANUARY

The Irishman (2019) – 10/10

The Duke Is Tops (1938) – 5/10

Destroy All Monsters (1968, Japan) – 7/10

Sinners’ Holiday (1930) – 6/10

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974, Japan) – 5/10

Wimmin Is a Myskery (1940 short) – 6/10

The Eyes of Orson Welles (2018) – 6/10

The Trial (1962) – 10/10

1917 (2019) – 9/10

Tale of the Vienna Woods (1934 short) – 7/10

Nurse-Mates (1940 short) – 6/10

Weathering with You (2019, Japan) – 6.5/10

Klaus (2019) – 7/10

Edge of the City (1957) – 7.5/10
