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

Texas, Adios (Italian: Texas, addio; Spanish: Adiós, Texas) is a 1966 Italian-Spanish spaghetti Western film co-written and directed by Ferdinando Baldi and starring Franco Nero, Alberto Dell'Acqua (as Cole Kitosch), José Suárez and Elisa Montés. Arriving shortly after Django, and featuring some of the same team but a different director, it ditches much of the former's European idiosyncrasies. Instead, it opts for a more classical, Hollywood-inspired approach that has been likened, including by Nero himself, to the films of Gary Cooper. Perhaps for this reason, it is not as widely remembered as its predecessor, although it was a commercial success at the time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
