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.

He breathes a deep sigh of relief and settles serenely into his seat. The car's path straightens and achieves a perfect pitch of vibration as we lock in the cruise-control at 107 mph. Next stop: Times Square...
...digital Jar Jar: "We have the first photo-realistic character that acts." Jar Jar, for whom actor-dancer Ahmed Best was both the voice and a rubberized stand-in, took years to develop. "He was Tex Avery cartoonish in style," says Chiang, "with large eyes and a big mouth." He was given short ears, but Lucas insisted on long ones. The comically androgynous shape came later...
