...concerned. I'm like some bizarro opera fan who comes for the plot and heads for the bar when the aria commences. My latest struggle with Morpheus (whose embrace, I did manage to avoid) occurred at The Incredible Hulk. You know who he is, of course. He's mild-mannered (but extremely fit) Bruce Banner (Edward Norton, who bulks up to hulk proportions when he gets angry or excited, which is pretty frequently). The guy's so touchy, he's even afraid to have sex with his girlfriend, Betty (Liv Tyler) for fear of turning green, nasty and enormous. This...

...build a fan base, the typical contemporary Tehran music act relies on word of mouth and MySpace and YouTube. The rapper Yas, whose socially critical rhymes have gained him a considerable following, has given up trying to get a permit. "Rap's beat is transgressive, it doesn't matter what your lyrics are," he explains. Even artists who have successfully promoted their music online are unable to make any money without legally publishing their music, and that requires obtaining a permit from the Ministry of Culture - a procedure so arcane that most attempts fail.
