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.

How it feels

A promotional video diary from 1989 meant to show a young actor as sober and ready for work. Instead his rambling monologues make him seem under the influence which hurts his career.

What happens

Corey Haim: Me, Myself, and I is a 1989 promotional film released by Corey Haim shortly after spending time in drug rehabilitation. The film, advertised as a "video diary" was intended to help re-invigorate his career after negative publicity surrounding his drug use. The film follows Haim during a day in his life and attempts to present him as clean, sober and ready to work. However his unfocused monologues, despite the heavy scripting, give the appearance he was under the influence of substances and the film negatively impacted his reputation. In an interview published posthumously in Vice magazine, Haim said that the video was created by a friend and that he (Haim) had just "shown up. The film was called "the worst ever" by X-Entertainment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
