And you thought it was all James Toback's fault. Wrong-o. Back in 1977, someone with more money than brains gave a then eight-year old Brett Ratner a Panasonic camcorder, effectively launching his career (and irreparably harming the cinema as we knew it). We learned this spicy bit of trivia about the frisky fauxter when we tagged along with our geeky brothers at Gizmodo to a Panasonic "presser" at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas earlier today. Hold your breath, the worst is yet to come.
