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 Intruder, also known as I Hate Your Guts, Shame and The Stranger (British title), is a 1962 American drama film directed and coproduced by Roger Corman and starring William Shatner. The story, adapted by Charles Beaumont from his own 1959 novel of the same title, depicts the actions of a demagogue who incites White citizens to racial violence against Blacks in reaction to court-ordered school integration.
