...problems of tongue piercees are rarely so severe. More commonly, patients come in complaining that they have cracked their teeth against the rings and barbells in their tongues. Dentists Wayne Maibaum and Vincent Margherita of Warwick, N.Y., report the case of a 19-year-old woman who got into the habit of idly biting her metal tongue bar and one day bit down on it so hard she chipped off a piece of one of her molars. "In that particular case, all I had to do was grind the tooth and smooth it down," Maibaum says. "But if the fracture...
...Licence to Kill, the bad guys' hideaway blows up real good too. And there are some great truck stunts. A pity nobody -- not writers Michael G. Wilson , and Richard Maibaum nor director John Glen -- thought to give the humans anything very clever to do. The Bond women are pallid mannequins, and so is the misused Dalton -- a moving target in a Savile Row suit. For every plausible reason, he looks as bored in his second Bond film as Sean Connery did in his sixth...
...surprise there: John Stears, the effects wizard of Star Wars, supervised the visual tricks on six early Bonds. He was one of many craftsmen who kept returning to the series: Screenwriter Richard Maibaum (twelve of the 15 films), Composer John Barry (twelve), Production Designer Ken Adam (seven), Main Credits Designer Maurice Binder (13). Bond's office colleagues -- M, Q and Moneypenny -- have appeared in every episode. John Glen, who has helmed the past four films, is just the fifth director in the series. The Bond team hit its early peak with Goldfinger in 1964 and followed up with some snazzy...
Some will miss the puckishness of the old Bond; others may wilt during an overlong sequence set in the Afghan desert, when the movie turns Ishtary. But Glen, Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson (Broccoli's stepson, who serves as co- screenwriter and co-producer) have wrapped a few nifty surprises in the security blanket of genre familiarity. The gasbag KGB agent is smuggled out of Czechoslovakia through the Trans-Siberian natural gas pipeline. A professional killer and a British guard stage the best kitchen fight since the gremlins got microwaved. The requisite ski chase sends Dalton and D'Abo bobsledding...
...objects?) is the black pantheresque model, Grace Jones. The villain, joylessly played by Christopher Walken, this time schemes improbably to blast open the San Andreas Fault, wiping out Silicon Valley so that he can corner the microchip market. If the picture did not carry the credits of Writers Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson and Director John Glen, one would suspect it was made by microchips making overdrafts on a depleted memory bank. It is exhausted and exhausting, an old joke retold once too often...
