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
A TV show host is broadcasting a New Year's Eve punk rock special when a caller threatens to kill someone as midnight strikes in each time zone. The killer then follows through on his promise while the host and police try to stop him.
