Being a Teenager in 1964 Johnny has a really rough life. According to one

of his brothers, sixteen-year-old Johnny looks like "a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers" . When his parents aren't physically and or verbally abusing him, they're ignoring him. Johnny can stay away from home for long periods of time and nobody seems to care or notice. To make things even worse, Johnny was brutally beaten by a group of gang kids, the Socs.Now his lives in a constant state of fear. On top of that, he doesn't quite get enough to eat, he often sleeps outdoors, and is even contemplating suicide. The gang that Johnny is in makes up his entire support system, but since they're struggling kids themselves, this support is far from sufficient. He's tries to stand up and be a good person. We never see him being mean or mistreating others.

MoviesThe 50 years of Bond celebration continues

with an ad from arguably the definitive Bond

movie. Goldfinger is a masterpiece that

helped the spy genre craze of the 60's reach

its peak. I was lucky enough to see it on the

big screen once but it would have been

incredible to see it at the Plaza, which was

one of the most beautiful theaters in Kansas

City.
