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

Quick Change is a 1990 American crime comedy film directed by Howard Franklin and Bill Murray (in their feature directorial debuts) and written by Franklin. Based on the novel of the same name by Jay Cronley, the film stars Murray, Geena Davis, Randy Quaid, and Jason Robards. Quick Change follows three people on an elaborate bank robbery and their subsequent escape. Filmed and set in New York City, Quick Change is the second adaptation of Cronley's novel, after the 1985 Franco-Canadian film Hold-Up. It is also the only directorial credit in Murray's career. Quick Change was theatrically released in the United States on July 13, 1990. Upon release, it was a commercial failure, grossing $15.3 million worldwide against a budget of $17 million, but received positive reviews, with praise for Murray's performance and humor.
