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

Bigfoot is a 1970 independently made American low budget science fiction film, produced by Anthony Cardoza and directed by Robert F. Slatzer. The film stars John Carradine, Chris Mitchum, Joi Lansing, Ken Maynard, Doodles Weaver, and Lindsay Crosby. This exploitation film attempts to transform the Pacific Northwest Sasquatch man-beast into an old-fashioned movie monster, known as King Kong (as a quote on the original film poster proudly trumpets). A remake using the same title, Bigfoot, was made for and shown on basic cable's SyFy Channel in 2012. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
