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

Peyton Place: The Next Generation is a 1985 American made-for-television drama film directed by Larry Elikann. The film premiered on NBC on May 13, 1985. The film is based on the 1964–1969 television series Peyton Place and the plot is set twenty years after the original series. The film contains many of the original cast members, and there were hopes of it inspiring a television series, but such a program was never made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
