Get Grant to his boat ?
It could be an explanation but we never see it. Most likely Bond threatened him to tell him the route, but we don't see it either.
I think it may have been @Gustav_Graves in one of the casting threads, but I am not very good at researching in these here forums.
I concur. Waltz was and is such a great choice that I think a few posters suggested it more or less around the same time. Trying to track down the very first post would be a hell of an errand. It's like trying to track down the first person to come up with the code-name theory.
I'll take the credit for being the first (that I saw, anyway) to mention that Hugh Laurie would make a fantastic Bond villain, but in terms of Waltz, I've no idea. First come, first serve, I suppose.
It does not mean he was the first one to suggest Waltz. Let me check...
And same January 2013, @Gustav_Graves mentions it again (fairly often actually and my reaction to it:
Brilliant. Thanks for the find. More a wish than a guess, but still very perceptive from @renno61 .
I plan on doing a Bondathon here shortly, and I know there's an infographic out there of how many bad guys each actor has killed, how many martinis each actor has consumed, etc. Are there any other bits of trivia like that that don't really exist, but could be collected through a Bondathon? I figured I'd offer to look for something small that big time fans such as us would enjoy, so if anyone has ideas, I'm all ears. The last time I did a marathon of the films, I wrote a very in-depth like/dislike list for every scene, line, etc. in a good portion of the films, so this time I want to spice it up and do something different. If you guys can think of something cool, do let me know.
My area of expertise. :))
I'm just looking for something extra to do with it. Like I said somewhere the other day, I also think I'm going to try and finally do a ranking for the films. I don't know if I'll be successful at all, but we'll see.
# of instances Bond is greeted ("We've been expecting you," etc.) by a villain.
# of instances Bond interrupts a woman's shower/bath.
# of instances Bond says/is told "You're late." to some extent.
# of instances Sir Rog raises eyebrows/smiles at the villains.
I may try out the first two so I have something to constantly watch out for, and save the Moore ones for a different time. Any other suggestions?
Bond always seems to be barking, "You're late" at someone, and others snap it at him too.
Count the number of times we hear any character, crab at another, that "You're late!"
Also, @Birdleson, I think that only happens once during DN. The Three Blind Mice are about to shoot him, but a car comes by and they're forced to wait.
