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
Two retired vaudeville comedians who have not spoken in years are convinced by a mutual relative to reunite for a television special. The film follows their clashing personalities and old routines as they prepare for the show.

Murray Abraham, Carol Arthur, Jennifer Lee, Rosetta LeNoire, Howard Hesseman and Ron Rifkin in supporting roles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
