The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Only Thing (also known under its working title Four Flaming Days) is a 1925 American silent romantic drama film starring Eleanor Boardman. The film's scenario was written by author Elinor Glyn (who also oversaw the film's production), and was based on a story adapted from Glyn's novel of the same name. It was the first film Jack Conway directed for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer where he remained for until his retirement in 1948. The film is also notable for featuring a young Joan Crawford in her eighth film role playing a minor part as a lady in waiting. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
