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

Coast to Coast is a 1980 American romantic comedy road movie starring Dyan Cannon and Robert Blake, directed by Joseph Sargent. The screenplay was written by Stanley Weiser. The original score was composed by Charles Bernstein. The film was primarily shot in and around Stockton and Farmington, California. It was Blake's first film in six years and first since his popular TV series Baretta left the airwaves. The film follows Madie Levrington, a wealthy neurotic woman who escapes from a New York mental asylum, and hitches a ride back to California with moody down-on-his-luck cowboy trucker Charles Callahan. They fall in love with each other while on the run from bounty hunters and repo man Jules. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
