The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Platinum Blonde is a 1931 American pre-Code romantic comedy film directed by Frank Capra, written by Jo Swerling, and starring Loretta Young, Robert Williams, and Jean Harlow. It was Williams's last screen appearance; he died of peritonitis three days after the film's October 31 release. Though not as well known as Capra's later 1930s movies, the film's reputation has grown over the years. Platinum Blonde is occasionally aired in the United States on the Turner Classic Movies television network. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
