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

"Revolving Door" was a famous negative television commercial made for Republican Party nominee George H. W. Bush's campaign during the 1988 United States presidential election. Along with the Willie Horton ("Weekend Passes") commercial, it is considered to have been a major factor in Bush's defeat of the Democratic Party nominee Michael Dukakis. The ad was produced by political consultant Roger Ailes with help from Bush campaign manager Lee Atwater, and first aired on October 5, 1988. "Revolving door syndrome" is a term used in criminology to refer to recidivism; however, the implication in the ad is that prison sentences were of an inconsequential length.
