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

What Became of Jack and Jill? is a 1972 British horror film directed by Bill Bain and starring Mona Washbourne, Paul Nicholas, and Vanessa Howard. It was part of an abandoned attempt by Amicus Pictures to differentiate itself with Hammer Studios by breaking into the exploitation film market. Studio executives were ultimately too disturbed by the final product to release it under the Amicus name, and they sold the film to 20th Century Fox. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
