Brewed Fresh Daily

I spent a significant portion of my Sunday afternoon (i know what you're thinking. no, not there) flipping back and forth between Trio and IFC. Trio was playing True Stories. "David Byrne of Talking Heads fame visits a typical (and fictional) Texas town, on the eve of the town's celebration of the state's sesquicentennial. He meets various colorful local characters, most notably Lewis Fyne, a big-hearted bachelor in search of matrimony."

On IFC was Wonderland. Too bad the Internet Movie Data Base has nothing to say about it. Wonderland is a documentary about the inhabitants of the Levittown, NY. I wish I could adequately describe this movie. Maybe that's why no one has filled out the plot synopsis or commented on it. I first came across Levittown in Squandering Aimlessly. After WWII, William Levitt built the first modern development. From the looks of things, the people who first purchased into this 'dream' still live there. It also seems that most of their children have moved away. Anyway, if you get a chance, see it. It's an interesting commentary on what's "modern" and what some think of as "utopic".
