A Revry original, Unconventional is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...
Channel lives with his boyfriend in Olympia, Washington. In his dreams he is ordered by a drag queen to visit Chicago and visit drag bars. Despite opposition by his boyfriend, Channel follows his dreams to the Windy City where he wastes no time in whoring himself out for living accommodations. He visits drag bar and there he gets into some kind pf trance where his past mystery life collides with present. But now it's too late, and a vengeful apparition named "Ant" has already taken control of Chanel's body and mind. At the house he is staying, he meets another guy and the trio start a journey of sorts following whatever Channel sees in his dreams. In between all this, we have an obese drag queen randomly showing uo our screens with whole lot of fluff that doesn't make any sense.
This film has absolutely nothing worth writing about. It is so called mystery film but it was so sleep inducing with some real bad acting. There is absolutely no purpose behind making this film. Even if you keep your brain aside and try to enjoy and not make sense of everything unfolding in front of you, even then it really doesn't make any sense. As I mentioned in the beginning, the only decent thing is some good penis shots and thats about it. Avoid at all costs. (1.5/10)

Unless you actually have folders for some important cities and the gay films filmed or set there. If thats the case, Thats a very innovative way of keeping records. :)
I actually do store my media collection in odd folders such as Mythic, Dangerous Children, Mental Illness, Saturday-ish (the kind of kids movies or shorts that were on when I was growing up) and in my GTM folder I separate out the happy from the sad and the German from the Espanol. I have a 70s TV folder. It's surprising how some films can be connected in an odd way and make sense in a folder together. I have had trouble separating films out of the Virus versus the Zombies folder, or Before the Apocalypse folder versus the After the Apocalypse folder. It's just one of those little things my brain enjoys doing.
I like to fall asleep to the TV as it works better for me than appropriate sleep hygiene. Often it's House--familiar, not too intense, not annoying, vaguely interesting but I don't feel the need to turn to look at it. Lately it's been the newer movie "Out of Body." It's weird, I watched it because Jason Gaffney was so great in The Perfect Wedding, then I liked Analysis Paralysis but couldn't warm up to the rhythm of it. This one I thought was unspectacular but not bad. Turns out it's a really good go to sleep movie. Both House and Out of Body are currently on Amazon, and they don't offer a folder function other than Watchlist. That's probably just as well as my brain might start working on it and I won't be able to get to sleep.
