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.
How it feels
A drama critic learns that his two elderly aunts have a secret hobby: they poison lonely old men to be nice. He must deal with this revelation while his family and a police detective create chaos.
