There is something almost taunting about the movie’s pace. “2001” is a hundred and forty-two minutes, pared down from a hundred and sixty-one in a cut that Kubrick made after those disastrous premières. A businessman overheard on his way out of a screening spoke for many: “Well, that’s one man’s opinion.” Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” From the look of things, the Zeitgeist was not going to strike twice.

It had been four years full of setbacks and delays since the director’s triumph, “ Dr. Kubrick, a doctor’s son from the Bronx who got his start as a photographer for Look, was turning forty that year, and his rise in Hollywood had left him hungry to make extravagant films on his own terms.

Eventually, the automaker removed the game after being unable to officially license it from Namco.Audio: Listen to this story. In the past, Tesla made news for offering the game Pole Position, initially created by Namco and marketed by Atari, in its collection of games for its centrally mounted entertainment screen. Tesla has been known for references and "easter eggs" sourced from science fiction and other pop cultural works, Electrek notes, the rights for which may or may not have been as free to use as Tesla had expected, so it's not surprising that the automaker will make a change once again to remove an image or IP owned by another copyright holder.

In cases of break-ins, the system blares music on full volume in addition to recording video from inside and outside the car. When the system detects a minor threat to the vehicle, it displays a message on its central screen warning that cameras are recording.
