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.

How it feels

In 1920s England, a bumbling gentleman adventurer takes on a mad scientist who has kidnapped a woman. The hero's antics and over-the-top Britishness drive the comedy.

What happens

Bullshot is a 1983 British comedy film, based on the stage play Bullshot Crummond. The play's title is a parody of the 1929 film Bulldog Drummond, the lead character having elements of Drummond and Biggles. It was the first of two films made by Dick Clement and Ian Le Frenais for HandMade Films, the second being Water. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
