Deconstruction everywhere. Retro is getting tired. Until they start making ice cream flavors in Postmodern Pistachio Pastiche, this headlong rush to reassemble everything from its self-conscious rubble can still be stomached. Put postmodernism in your mouth and you'll find it's indigestible. Thankfully, and refreshingly, kitsch-pop masters Pizzicato Five can still render postmodernism an enjoyably tasteful joy ride. They trip through safe and smiley TV-land in a jalopy heap slapped together from '60s and jap pop, hip hop beats, funk threads, classical samples, bossa nova riffs and exotica, running on smooth easy-listening gas.

...addition to finding our voices, TBTN has aggressively encouraged women to reclaim our bodies. Tuesday's "eat-in" provided an opportunity for women and men to indulge guiltlessly in pizza, ice cream and soda (diet not allowed). This event was a direct attack on '90s pop culture figures such as Ally McBeal--the feminist icon of our times, according to People and Time magazines--and Kate Moss.

...Kelley, who with Sean O'Byrne wrote this screenplay, has proved to be a brilliant and clever screenwriter with his Ally McBeal and The Practice and might be able to salvage the otherwise cliched plot line. Should be an interesting catch especially for sticky summer days when all the ice looks pleasant. Almost. Introduction by Angela K.
