![If the words "tiki culture" conjure images of rum drinks the color of windshield wiper fluid, dusty tribal masks and low-rent bamboo-backed bars, hold on to your paper parasol because there's a new trade wind blowing. What was once dismissed as "tacky tiki" is going upscale. The result? South Seas-tinged art, music, runway clothes and even a high-end restaurant in Beverly Hills, all with price tags a notch or three above the budget of your standard-issue aloha shirt-wearing tiki geek. Call it Polynesian pop, call it tiki 2.0, but the new incarnation is kicking the kitsch and ushering in an era of luxe on the lanai.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-10/43033115-23161810.jpg "If the words "tiki culture\" conjure images of rum drinks the color of windshield wiper fluid, dusty tribal masks and low-rent bamboo-backed bars, hold on to your paper parasol because there's a new trade wind blowing.

![Claude Miller's "La Petite Lili," an adroit exploration of love and ambition, life and art, may be based on Chekhov's "The Seagull," but with its coda set five years in the future, it ends up seeming lots more like Vincente Minnelli's classic 1952 take on Hollywood, "The Bad and the Beautiful": No matter how much <I>Sturm und Drang </I>has occurred between film people, they will come together for the sake of the chance of making a good movie.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-03/16845422.jpg "Claude Miller's "La Petite Lili,\" an adroit exploration of love and ambition, life and art, may be based on Chekhov's \"The Seagull,\" but with its coda set five years in the future, it ends up seeming lots more like Vincente Minnelli's classic 1952 take on Hollywood, \"The Bad and the Beautiful\": No matter how much <I>Sturm und Drang </I>has occurred between film people, they will come together for the sake of the chance of making a good movie.")

'Jiminy Glick in Lalawood'
![For three seasons on Comedy Central, Jiminy Glick, Martin Short's fat, obsequious, know-nothing celebrity interviewer, bombarded his guests with relentless salvos of inanity. A parody of the already ably self-parodying celebrity interview show genre, "Primetime Glick" allowed Short to sit opposite the likes of Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Ben Stiller and Ellen DeGeneres and, careening between an intimate squeal and an authoritarian baritone, ask things no man not swathed in substantial padding would dare ask — whereupon he would grow instantly bored or annoyed with their answers and wind up upending entire bowls of snacks into his maw before tipping over his chair.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-05/17446450.jpg "For three seasons on Comedy Central, Jiminy Glick, Martin Short's fat, obsequious, know-nothing celebrity interviewer, bombarded his guests with relentless salvos of inanity.
