Man Watches Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’ on Game Boy Advance

To spite Christopher Nolan for wanting people to visit movie theaters in the middle of a global pandemic to watch his movie Tenet, YouTuber WULFF DEN managed to put the movie on five Game Boy Advance cartridges so he could watch it the way it absolutely was not meant to be: super pixelated and at four frames/second. I can already feel my eyes drying up like raisins.

According to WULFF, “This movie was intended to be seen on the big screen. So let’s put it on a really tiny Game Boy Advance screen and blow those pixels up so we can barely see anything :D! This is quite possibly the worst way to watch Tenet and still be able to see what’s going on.”

I actually can think of worse ways to watch Tenet and still see what’s going on, but they do all involve me watching the movie from jail, and I ain’t going back to jail just to prove my point.

A YouTuber crammed ‘Tenet’ onto Game Boy Advance cartridges out of spite

The ideal way to watch Tenet, according to director Christopher Nolan (and many others), is in a cinema. "This is a film whose image and sound really needs to be enjoyed in your theaters on the big screen," he said last year amid the throes...

This Batman X Bugatti crossover concept vehicle is literally everything I dream about!

Hey Nolan, is it too late to change the Batmobile in the upcoming Batman film to this bad-boy?? Designed by Ferry Passchier, a 2D/3D visualizer from The Netherlands, the Bat Bolide gives Bugatti’s latest supercar a dark-knight-approved makeover! Dressed in matte-black, the Bolide wears its carbon-fiber body like a badge of honor, showcasing the woven pattern! It also liberally uses elements from the cars before it… for instance it comes with the Divo’s headlights (because Bolide’s X-shaped headlights would probably look too much like Suicide Squad’s imagery?), and while the tail-lights shine in an X-shaped orientation, they use the lighting system seen on the La Voiture Noire. Even the exhaust’s shape is borrowed from the Chiron Super Sport, making the Bat Bolide a hybrid beast fit for Gotham’s protector!

What’s instantly striking about the Bat Bolide is the presence of those extended fins that protrude from the back as well as the rear fenders, giving the car a distinct comic-inspired style. Its side-view (which you can see in the images below) makes this even more apparent, almost bordering on a caricature… but then again, Batman is a comic-book character, isn’t he?? In fact, this comic-book appeal is something Passchier embraces, as he has the Animated Series version of the caped crusader standing beside the vehicle. Other noteworthy details include the distinctly wide wheels, the presence of the Batman logo on the front grille (where you’d see Bugatti’s branding), and even on the fuel-cap! The insides are relatively minimal, with a few buttons and switches here and there to trigger missiles, spiked-wheels, and whatnot. Given that crime-fighting can often get sweaty, and the bat-suit isn’t particularly breathable, there’s also a Pine-scented car freshener hanging right below the rear-view mirror! Also, extra points to the designer for even including LEGO Batman in the assets!

This is a fan-made concept and isn’t linked to the Batman or Bugatti brand in any way. Any use of logos and branding in the project is purely representational.
