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

Bad, also known as Andy Warhol's Bad, is a 1977 American black comedy film directed by Jed Johnson and produced by Andy Warhol. Written by Pat Hackett and George Abagnalo, it stars Carroll Baker as the owner of a beauty salon that serves as a front for a murder-for-hire operation. Bad received mixed reviews, with critics divided over its gruesome violence and dark humor. Despite its commercial failure, Susan Tyrrell won the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance, and the film has since become a cult classic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
