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

Heartburn is a 1986 American romantic comedy-drama film produced and directed by Mike Nichols, starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson. The screenplay by Nora Ephron is based on her 1983 novel, a semi-autobiographical account of her marriage to Carl Bernstein. The film marked the debuts of Natasha Lyonne and Kevin Spacey. The song "Coming Around Again" was written and performed by Carly Simon, and became one of her biggest hits. The song reached No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 5 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, and was soon followed by the album of the same name. The film was released in the United States on July 25, 1986. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
