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

The Viper is a 1938 British slapstick comedy film directed by Roy William Neill and starring Claude Hulbert, Betty Lynne and Hal Walters. It was written by John Dighton and Reginald Purdell. The film was a sequel to the previous year's The Vulture, with Hulbert and Walters reprising their roles. Lesley Brook also features in both films, but in unrelated roles. Neill replaced Ralph Ince, director of The Vulture, as Ince had been killed in a road accident shortly after that film's release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
