Post modern literature....Have you read anything by TC Boyle? His fiction, especially his short stories, are really good examples of post-modern literature. Or seen the movie The Chumscrubber? Kind of a cool little art house flick. That's some good post modernism right there. Any message conveyed is purely coincidental.

Fight Club and The Matrix are probably the two quintessential post-modern films in the mainstream. IMO anyway.
