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

Dancing on the Valentine is a video single by English rock band Duran Duran, released by PMI in the UK and Sony in the US in October 1984 (1984-10). It was released on VHS, Betamax, LaserDisc, and Video 8 (8mm) format. Dancing on the Valentine is a collection of the three videos from Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983). The title comes from the lyrics of "The Reflex": "You gone too far this time / But I'm dancing on the valentine". The artwork was also highly influenced by the release of "The Reflex" single, earlier in the year. A re-release in 1991 combined Dancing on the Valentine with the band's previous two-track Video 45, Duran Duran. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
