To fully become a vampire, you have to die first after having some infected blood put into you. They actually used Bram Stoker as an inspiration.

Writers have settled on the snarky tone of Sean O’Neal, without his extensive knowledge of certain topics. And they make a major mistake. A few years ago, the snark was mostly targeted at the whole PR and news machine, how some piece is the 10th or 17th time the writer had to write about some similar subject and the…
The main cast for a show can usually be shuffled between seasons, or when there’s a break in the middle of a season, or when a major character is written off the show (like Andrew Lincoln’s Rick in The Walking Dead). Being part of the main cast, listed during the title sequence, or getting a “starring” mention in the…
There are other factors you don’t take into consideration.
Except that most of the box office for Bond usually comes from the rest of the world. For instance, Skyfall grossed $300m in the US and $800m in the rest of the world. For Spectre, it was $200m and $680m, etc. The franchise is EXTREMELY popular in Europe (especially the UK), in Australia, etc.
It’s not just FXX. It’s also that the animation company he has with Matt Thompson hasn’t managed to work on a successful animated show besides Archer.
I think that Adam Reed is still involved with the show, it’s just that he’s taken a backseat approach. He will contribute a few lines here and there, but he won’t rewrite a script to his tastes.
Skyfall was less a meditation on Craig’s Bond being too old than on the franchise getting old and supposedly out of touch with the current world. It was released for the 50th anniversary, and the story asked what was the point of having a professional assassin while a lot of things in the intelligence world now imply…
It wasn’t considered, because it hadn’t been written yet.
When Marceau is dead, the film loses all impetus. The fight with Renard sounds totally hollow.
Moore should have retired after FYEO, which would have made for a fine swan song. But EON Productions had very little choice because of Kevin McClory and Sean Connery finally finding a home to produce their Thunderball remake. Opposite Connery, any new face in the part for an official episode would have been slayed.…
They obviously tried to finally deliver with Spectre/NTTD the OHMSS/YOLT arc from the novels, the one that was bungled in the films, as they first shot a film version of YOLT that left out the revenge thing, then made a faithful adaptation of OHMSS, then had no reason to continue, with Connery back for one more film…
It’s always the actor who plays Bond who appears in the sequence, apart from the first three movies. Dr. No was a small budget affair, and they made the credits for cheap. They didn’t bother to call Sean Connery back and they used instead main stuntman (and Connery’s double) Bob Simmons. Then, the sequence was simply…
And for “Diamonds Are Forever”, the lyrics are quite suggestive, even more with Bassey’s performance. After all, these diamonds are meant to be held up, caressed, touched, stroked and undressed, all in succession. And, because of it, a few people were thinking... of cock.
The reprise of “Moonraker” during the end credits is indeed a disco arrangement.
No mention about the return of its spin-off The Walking Dead: World Beyond? At this point, WB looks like it is is written and acted to make the main show look competent in comparison.
Ritchie Coster has played Italian characters quite often in his career, he was lately Francisco Scaramucci, the mobster from Happy!. Due to this comedic part, I have even more difficulties to take him seriously.
It’s more a matter of John Barry skipping the occasional entry for a few reasons.
It was stuntman Bob Simmons, who was Connery’s main double.
He shot the bullet into the barrel (which also means that the bullet has to go through the entire back of the gun), and yet the blood drips from above. One of the small inconsistencies of this version.
