I was asked a question about Marvel movies. I answered it. I said that I\u2019ve tried to watch a few of them and that they\u2019re not for me, that they seem to me to be closer to theme parks than they are to movies as I\u2019ve known and loved them throughout my life, and that in the end, I don\u2019t think they\u2019re cinema. Some people seem to have seized on the last part of my answer as insulting, or as evidence of hatred for Marvel on my part. If anyone is intent on characterizing my words in that light, there\u2019s nothing I can do to stand in the way.<\/p>\n<span class='bdaia-btns bdaia-btn-small' style=\"background:#F46A4E !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/scorsese-flight-delays-and-cancellations\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#ffffff !important;\">MORE<\/a><\/span>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"normal\"><b>Random Acts of Canine Kindness<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-428 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/cedric.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"195\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cedric the Dog takes a well-deserved break after an ill fated attempt to shut down a white supremacist rally in Mississippi.<br \/>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-shadow\" style=\"margin-top:10px !important;margin-bottom:10px !important;\"><\/div>\n<p><i>You want a friend in Washington?

Maureen &#8220;Mo&#8221; Starkey Tigrett was a hairdresser from Liverpool, best known as the first wife of Ringo Starr. When she was a trainee hairdresser in Liverpool, she met Starr at The Cavern Club, where the Beatles were playing. After finding out that she was pregnant, 18-year-old Maureen married Starr. When the Beatles broke up in 1970, so did the Starrs&#8217; marriage, as Ringo&#8217;s infidelities were becoming more frequent, and his <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alcoholism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">alcoholism<\/a> was escalating.

As a descendant of both Leif Ericson and Christopher Columbus, the Amer-Norsk-Italian Boitano quite literally has a passion for travel to unexplored locations in his blood. He has traveled to over 56 nations, including Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, as well as lived with a nomadic Basque shepherd family outside of Bakersfield, California for six hours. He brings to Traveling Boy a love of all forms of travel, and a disdain for any lamb food products.","url":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/author\/ed\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14354"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20992,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14354\/revisions\/20992"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
