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

『危いことなら銭になる』(やばいことならぜにになる)は、中平康監督、宍戸錠主演による1962年公開の日本映画。 都筑道夫の小説『紙の罠』を原作としたアクション・コメディ。池田一朗と山崎忠昭が共同で脚色し、中平康が監督した。 町山智浩によれば、本作は『殺しの烙印』や『毛の生えた拳銃』『狙撃』などと共にアニメ第1作『ルパン三世』に影響を与え、浅丘演じるヒロインも真理アンヌなどと同じく峰不二子のモデルである可能性に、クリント・イーストウッド主演の『ダーティハリー』よりも先にマグナムを上手くセリフに活用しているという (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
