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

Pure Shit (censored as Pure S) is a 1975 Australian drama film directed by Bert Deling. When the film premiered at Melbourne's Playbox in May 1976, the Vice Squad raided the theatre. It was initially banned, then given an R certificate, and the title was changed from Pure Shit to Pure S. The low-budget film provoked a hostile reaction from the mainstream media on its initial release. It is now considered an "underground" classic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
