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

The Girl, the Gold Watch & Dynamite is a 1981 American made-for-television fantasy-comedy film starring Philip MacHale and Lee Purcell. The film is a sequel to the 1980 telefilm The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything which was an adaptation of the John D. MacDonald novel The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything. The original sequel title was going to be "The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything Else", but was eventually dropped for the punchier "....and Dynamite" to draw more of a distinction between the original movie and the sequel.
