LOLA is an excellent film

I watch a lot of movies on Blu-ray and DVD. A film has to really be out there for me to call it unique.

LOLA (2022) is unique. It’s a smartly assembled film that mixes found footage and science fiction. It’s in black and white and skillfully incorporates old news footage.

A young English woman in the 1930s invents Lola, a machine that can access radio and TV signals from the future. She and her sister use it to hear music like David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”. They’re having fun and the film is light until World War II breaks out. Lola is used to help the English military. It’s helpful until something goes wrong and the future is drastically changed.

The Blu-ray also has two shorts by the same director which are silent. They’re worth seeing too.

The media is a big part of the problem

They do non-stop Trump coverage and don’t focus enough on the issues. The public is not aware of all the good things Biden has done.

The 2024 election will be ugly

a few warning signs

The media isn’t covering what people are interested in

That’s why their ratings are down. TV networks in DC and New York are interested in politics more than what affects people on a daily basis. They are rich enough that they can handle inflation much better than average people.

The Stop Making Sense Blu-ray is terrific

A24 has released their re-release of Stop Making Sense (1984) on Blu-ray and 4K. I have the Blu-ray and it’s outstanding. It comes in a case with a long booklet. The film, which I had never seen, is an excellent document on the 1983 Talking Heads concert tour. (I saw them in 1982.) The entire film focuses on the show. The music and performances are great. The photography enables the viewer to see what a good time the musicians had.
