New Phone (Yet Again)

So I've had this phone for about a month now, but I never really got the time to introduce it to you all. Meet my new-new phone, a Samsung Galaxy Ace. My dream phone that ended up to be a not-so-dreamy phone gave me some fun but with everything chugging along in technical advancements, I figured that getting an Android to couple with my iTouch was the better option than going for an iPhone altogether. 2 gadgets means more stuff for well, stuff.

So this lil' guy I named Shoryuu or as I jokingly refer to it, the BannerPhone. Half of the reason is because Mark Ruffalo playing Bruce Banner is my current wallpaper for it, while the other is just because I'd think the good doctor would make his own brand of phone to contest anything that Tony decides to develop.

Movies and Mark Ruffalo

I think I'll blame The Avengers. Since its debut here in the Philippines last April 25, the hype never seemed to end and the impending box-office smash hit managed to take away two of it's screening times from my life; one in 3D, the other in good ol' 2D viewing. Of course, when are movies ever going to be a waste of my time?

But this Avengers movie was different. Of course, with a star-studded cast portraying a band of epic superheroes, how could it flop? The biggest surprise came in the big package, all bundled up nicely with a bow in the form of Mark Ruffalo portraying Bruce Banner / Hulk. 8D

It was a welcome surprise, really. He was a newcomer compared to the rest who reprise their roles from previous Marvel flicks and the third overall to portray the good doctor. And may I say, he has just been full of surprises. He made me an insta-fan for Bruce, and I'm very much glad to hear that the overwhelming positive reviews landed him a six-movie deal to continue portraying Bruce! *cheers*

In other news, I decided to procure a copy of 2004 flick 13 Going on 30, where Mark portrayed the adult form of Matt Flamhaff. It's not surprising that a number of his movies have him in the same demeanor and acting style, with variations in character personality. Needless to say, he is just very much a great actor that has gotten my utmost respect.

Best of luck to him, and I'm very much looking forward to his future work and success in the Marvel world~ Looking forward to his own Hulk movie!
