Spiteful genius ruins Christopher Nolan's life by screening Tenet on a Game Boy Advance

Few people have put their life, their reputation, and also (sometimes) the lives of others on the line more stridently on behalf of the theatrical experience than Christopher Nolan, who was very insistent last year that his latest movie, Tenet, be released in theaters , even though a theater is, objectively, a pretty awful place to be if you’re trying to avoid breathing in another human’s lung crud. But Nolan insisted, lest the primacy of the movie theater experience be diminished…and then the primacy of the movie theater experience kind of got diminished anyway, because not a lot of people went out to see Tenet in theaters, because they didn’t want to die. (Also, the tepid Tenet response probably contributed to Warner Media’s decision to start releasing its blockbusters simultaneously on HBO Max, at which point the veins in Nolan’s head really started to bulge.)
