Today Mike sent me a link to an article and video clip at the website Gawker about Wil Wheaton and the Calgary Comic Expo.  From Gawker I followed a link to their sister site Kotaku where I found an article about a 1976 French short film.  Turns out Kotaku just reposted an entry from over at the Rockstar website.  Confused yet?

Anyway, you need to watch this French film called C'etait un Rendezvous, but don't worry it clocks in at under 9 minutes.  It's basically a dude driving around Paris with a movie camera strapped to the front of his Mercedes.  This guy isn't out for a Sunday drive, he is breaking all kinds of traffics while speeding, running red lights and crossing into opposing lanes of traffic.  The film was made without any permission or any film permits and supposedly the director was arrested when the film was released cuz everyone was pissed out how he endangered the public.  The film turned out cool though.

I recommend watching this film and you can check it out over on the Rockstar website
