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

Your Honour, I Object! is a 1987 British documentary about the legal dispute between Ken Russell and Bob Guccione over an aborted attempt to film Moll Flanders. Russell wanted to make a version of Flanders with an unknown, Janice Flanders, in the lead. The film was to be financed by Bob Guccione. Russell wrote a script but Guccione rewrote it and Russell pulled out of the project. Guccione sued Russell for a million dollars, and the director hired lawyer Richard Golub to defend him in exchange for Russell directing a video clip starring Golub. Russell won and kept his fee of $125,000. The incident was turned into a documentary. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
