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

Sinful Davey is a 1969 picaresque adventure/crime/comedy film directed by John Huston and starring John Hurt, Pamela Franklin, and, in an early appearance, Fionnula Flanagan. Huston's daughter Anjelica Huston appears uncredited as an extra. John Huston later said the film was "very good" but "spoiled beyond recognition" by the producers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
