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 Newlywed Wants a House (Spanish: El casado casa quiere) is a 1948 Mexican comedy film directed by Gilberto Martínez Solares and starring María Elena Marqués, Rafael Baledón and Malú Gatica. It was part of a scheme by RKO Pictures to remake some of their older works in Mexico. It is a remake of the 1931 film Too Many Cooks, itself based on an earlier play by Frank Craven. It was shot at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City. The film's sets were designed by the art director Gunther Gerszo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
