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

Look Back in Anger is a 1980 television film based on John Osborne's 1956 play. It is directed by Lindsay Anderson and David Hugh Jones, and stars Malcolm McDowell, Lisa Banes and Fran Brill. Anderson, who had previously worked with Malcolm McDowell on if.... and O Lucky Man!, translated Ted Craig's Roundabout Theatre Company off-Broadway production (in which McDowell was starring) to the screen, and taped results in three days. It was aired in the United States on PBS and Showtime, and later released on VHS by Warner Home Video. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
