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

Easy Money is a 1983 American comedy film directed by James Signorelli, written by Rodney Dangerfield, Michael Endler, P. J. O'Rourke and Dennis Blair, and starring Dangerfield, Joe Pesci, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Candice Azzara, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. It tells the story of a hard-living baby photographer and family man whose snobbish mother-in-law dies in a plane crash where the conditions of his family's inheritance must have him curb his vices for a year. The original music score was composed by Laurence Rosenthal. Billy Joel performed the theme song "Easy Money" from his album An Innocent Man. The film was met with mixed reviews.
