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

Hot Dog...The Movie is a 1984 American sex comedy ski film directed by Peter Markle and written by ski filmmaker Mike Marvin, who choreographed and directed the ski footage. The film combines elements of sports and teen films and has become a cult film over the decades, especially in the US freestyle scene. While both contemporary and retrospective reviews are predominantly negative, the film was still a commercial success. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
